Last night we had the most exciting burritos. They were jam packed with sauteed shrooms, peppers, hand crafted guacamole, hot peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, fresh salsa and cilantro sour cream.

I have worked at Trader Joe’s (an inexpensive gourmet food store) since November. In that time, I have been introduced to many fruits and vegetables that I have never seen before. One of the most recent ones is Baby Kiwi. I had never heard of these little gems until a week ago. Since then I […]
