I always use this website, for recipes and community sharing events. Although I recently found out that I can change how many servings I will use. I do a lot of cooking for me and adjust well, but sometimes I end up with less flavor. This is a great tip to use when you need to make a serving adjustment..... http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/ http://allrecipes.com/Default.aspx

Amazing little hole in the wall spot. Although some are low key and a few people throughout the day. This place is live and kicking. So here's the scoop. You can eat anything on the menu, we had the Wet Burrito (also know as infant size burrito). Chels and I both enjoyed this tasty treat. I had the steak and added fajitas veggies. I can't believe the flavors in this infant size burrito, it was amazing and delicious. I thought for a mintue I was going to finish it, but I only finished a half. Although, that is alot. Drinks: The Horchata (sweet rice milk drink) was actually really good and same price as the coke products served. Please visit the site and listen to the reviews, Its worth the trip to Ballard. http://gorditoshealthymexicanfood.com/ Parking was a little weird, but their is a monitoring man at the local Bartells, so we waiting patiently for a spot.

We began with an apologies and walked to "The Dish". http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-dish-seattle OMG I can't explain to you the prices, amazing, the coffee- strong but amazing, the abeyance was even more icing on the cake. I love whole in the wall spots and this is where I will be returning. if you only knew how many places I looked up. There was always somethin...
