I swear I did not touch the Cheetos! lol

My hands ALWAYS turn orange when I peel and cut up carrots. Eating the cute lil baby carrots would be a great option, but I discovered that in a recent taste test comparison, well there is no comparison. I LOVE BIG CARROTS! lol So here I sit eating my lunch: Turkey sandwich on an Arnolds/Orowheat sandwich thin with a side of carrots, with orange hands. :)

Last night for dinner I had taken out a frozen container of a recipe that I made up a while back-Mexican Bake. I used some taco seasoning that I found at the health food store and I disliked the flavor of it but when I took it out yesterday for dinner I totally forgot how nasty it was. I tossed it and took out one of the burritos that I give Sean for lunch. I know I have talked about these before, way back when, but they really are good. Amy's Kitchen is a great web site and they sell their frozen and canned food items all over. They happen to be a local family company that is more well knows here in Northern California, but I know they have food items all over. They are a very nice family, and I had the pleasure of meeting Amy and her Father at an office I used to work at. Anyway, back to the yummy burritos! I buy these at Costco- and each time I go I pray that they still carry them. They are suck a great deal there! You get 8 burritos for $9.99 when the local stores sell them for $3.49 each! YIKES! So check around for them at Cotsco or Sam's Club or look for a sale to try these out!
I added a salad to my dinner too.
Yes, it is a weird combo. lol Garbanzo beans, hearts of palm, radishes, olives, with a splash of balsamic vinegar. :) It was tasty!

I already got dinner all set for tonight. Sean's Parents, his Aunt who is visiting from Paris, and his Uncle are coming tonight to visit. I will share dinner with you all another time. I promise to take pictures and share the recipe. :) It smells so good in here, I can't wait to enjoy dinner later!

Hope all of you have a GREAT day! :) BYE! Pin It

  3. I love big carrots too...they are usually sweeter:) I am going to have to check our Costco to see if they carry those burrito's. Kevin loves burrito's.

  4. Our Costco doesn't carry these :(
    That's Canada for you.

    I think the tiny carrots are way too sweet. I like the bigger ones better too and they're much cheaper so that's a plus as well.

    Hope your dinner goes well!
    Could you please put smell-o-vision on your blog?

  10. Re: taco seasoning. I stopped buying pre-packaged taco seasoning when I discovered this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Taco-Seasoning-I/Detail.aspx

    It is very good, has a fraction of the sodium and costs pennies.

  12. Burritos look delish, but my gosh, I do not at all find that salad appealing! Hearts of palm do not float my boat!

    Loved your guest post, by the way!

  13. Although I like raw baby carrots, I prefer the big ones (sliced) when it comes to cooked carrots. They taste better.

    Neat that you met Amy!

  14. I love the carrot sticks instead of cheetos. It's like you were determined to get in something orange no matter what! lol
