It’s that time again – Mexican Meatless Monday! I almost skipped “MMM” today since I wasn’t feeling it. But, since I had beans that needed to be eaten anyways, I threw together a taco salad. Nothing new, but it gets the job done. *Don’t you like how Mexican Meatless Monday = MMM = Mmmmmmm Taco salad fixings: romaine, salsa, veggie…

The BEST SNACK EVER
I’ve had my share of cooking failures. I am a “learn by doing” kinda person, so trial and error is inevitable. Today there was more error than I’d like.

Obviously, it was dark in the cave. Sorry for the blurry picture. Before we left for the excursion we…
