It happened!  A lonesome bowl of cereal was going to be my breakfast.  This week has been busy and this weekend has been crazier, I didn't feel like getting creative so out came the bowl and spoon.  Then Andrea reminded me that there was one slice of Frittata left!  Woo Hoo!  We split the Italian ovum delight and put it on a pretty plate with my cereal and took this photo.

We love tacos!  Los Angeles is amazing when it comes to Latin Cuisine... it's everywhere!  Our favorite establishment to indulge in the South of the Border grub is Taco Plus, or what our neighbors so affectionately call it.. T+.
Carnitas is very similar to pulled pork, but there is no BBQ sauce.  The natural salty flavor of the meat is sooo nice in a warm tortilla with avocado and salsa. Yes, this is the pork shoulder still lingering from last night.  We only added the BBQ sauce to the small amount we used for the sandwiches in order to keep the pork in it's natural flavor state.




DINNER - Lovely Pasta a l'Andrea
Pasta - $0.12
Tomato and Spinach Sauce - $0.37
Broccoli - $0.13
TOTAL: $0.62
Andrea is the best at coming up with amazing tomato based sauces.  This meal was no exception!  The meal is quite straight forward with linguine and broccoli, but that sauce!
