This is my verison:

             It was ok... I should have added cilantro and more spices, it just didn't have enough seasoning for my taste. I did add corn to mine for some reason my son loves corn in his beef burritos when we make them at home. Little miss C enjoyed it very much but the rest of us it was just to bland for our taste. Honestly I would put it in a burrito... I think I'll do that tonight.  

             There was no "Tuesday with grandma" she has official came down with the flu. I've been checking on her daily to see if she needs anything. So far she is feeling better after the doctor gave her some medication. I went grocery shopping and got some stuff done around the house. 

Until Tomorrow....
