Cinco de Mayo Burrito Bake
Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! I honestly have no idea what this traditional Mexican holiday is celebrating. All I know is that us Americans love to eat Mexican food and drink tequila on the 5th day of the 5th month every year. Maybe the Mexicans do the same thing?
Anyways, this is the latest (of many) Mexican dishes I've made. I truly have loved pretty much every single one of them.
Here is a great and very easy recipe from Lindsay who does a great cooking site entitled "Normal Cooking". She puts together this Cinco de Mayo Burrito Bake that uses ingredients you will find in your pantry like re-fried beans, Bisquick baking mix and some other ingredients that will fit your busy schedule.

Spaghetti and Meatballs Cupcakes
These are a really cute idea for a get together. If you put only one "meatball" on per cupcake and serve a bunch on a tray it looks like a HUGE bowl of spaghetti!
Ingredients:
- 12 baked and cooled vanilla cupcakes
- Homemade or store bought classic vanilla frosting
- 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup low sugar strawberry preserves (low sugar has the best color)
I really thought these were just a very cleverly plated real spaghetti and meatballs in a cup cake cup, but read on!

On Coffee
"Place" is associated with just about everything that our senses come across. In whatever activity our body and mind take part in, we do so in a "place"; whether or not one recognizes or appreciates such a phenomenon is an entire dialogue on its own. Our daily commute takes place somewhere (train, subway, bus, parking lot-like I-66); our work takes place somewhere (cubicle, hole-in-the-wall, highrise); our mingling chatter takes place somewhere (sidewalk, bar, lunch line at the salad place that for some reason always has a line); our gastronomic activities take place somewhere (Korean deli, at my desk in front of a computer monitor, Indian lunch buffets with unnamed but delicious curry creations).
Here is an awesome post from the blog called I Am Not A Lawyer about that wonderful addictive thing called COFFEE!
