Because I’m obsessed
March 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, food
I think I’ve gotten a little out of control in this quest to perfect my Costa Vida burrito recipe. I need some serious help. . . really, its borderline obsession here. We had some friends over a few nights ago, and I thought it would be fun to try a whole array of Costa Vida […]
