Mexican Style

Last week I was one lucky chica!

I enjoyed a Mexican entree of three different kinds on three different nights all in a row! I love Mexican food so this is not a bad thing.... and not a tiring taste for me. Not one bit!
Wednesday night, Nicole and I stopped by Tortilla's off Highway 8 for (the best salty) chips & salsa and one of my all time favorites, a beef taco salad. We like to call ourselves regulars here...

Thursday night, I got together with the Newport Girls and this month we headed to La Cucaracha in St. Paul off of Grand Ave & Dale. Since I have never been I enjoyed the chips & (spicy) cheese that Dana had ordered and a meal by the name of "call your stack". This meal was stacked corn tortillas with meat, cheese, lettuce and sour cream. I think everyone had their meal smothered in La Cucaracha's special sauce. It was an ok meal- but better than EVER were the Margarita's! I had a regular margarita blended- SO GOOD! If you're ever in the area, I would for sure make a stop here and give'em a try, annnnnd don't forget to invite me! ;O)

AND Friday night, it was date night for Aaron and I. Since Aaron was helping Paul on the deck until about 8pm- we decided to grab a quick bite to eat at our most favorite hole in the wall Mi Casita. Here we chowed down on their always fabulous chips & cheese and shared a chicken fajita quesadilla, which I highly recommend. It's my favorite and I order it every time. After dinner we walked on over to the movie theater to laugh for the next hour and 40 minutes of Step Brothers!

Well- I know what you are thinking.... "boy, Andrea sure does eat out A LOT!"

I know.... and I do agree. As a result, Aaron and I enjoyed the perfect summer dinner tonight (Monday), at home made by me- BLTs (bacon, lettuce and toast). Aaron had made a good batch of cucumber salad and BLTs sounded like the perfect compliment.

With being busy and on the go at ALL times in the summer- I tend to brush off taking the time to cook for myself & Aaron and to be healthier... hence conveniently going out to eat almost every night. Oh-well, you only live once right!? And when you love food the way I do- OH WELL!
