What’s that you say? A Taco Bell Burger? Believe it or not, from the mid-1960’s to the mid-1970’s Taco Bell had their own take on a burger. The Bell Burger aka Bell Beefer was nothing more than their Taco meat between two buns with a kiss of Taco Sauce. It was a sloppy Joe of sorts with grated cheese on top. Originally the Bell Beefer did not include taco lettuce. However; if you knew what to ask for, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes could be part of the deal.

Seafood Sub Sandwich
On the National Day Charts, today is an interesting day. National Barber Shop Quartet Day. I’m not a member, I don’t know anyone who is a member, and in checking the community calendar, there doesn’t seem to be a performance nearby. What else have we got to choose from?
Titanic’s Asparagus Salad with Golden Champagne-Saffron Vinaigrette
I know you were expecting some sort of Lenten offering on this, the 31st day of the season. I got side tracks. All I can say is welcome to my mind. To the rest of the world, it might seem a dysfunctional, easily derailed environment. Yet for me the thought process works and it does make perfectly logical sense. Hubby would care to differ. I invite you to follow the thoughts that led to today’s posting to a wonderful, First-Class Asparagus “Salad” served on the final night aboard the Titanic. Although not a straight line, the string of thoughts aren’t totally random. Ready, set . . . here we go.

Wake up to Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
Did you know that cinnamon is a good source of manganese, fiber, iron and calcium? I love cinnamon in my coffee, on toast, in an apple pie or today sprinkled on Crescents. It’s a good thing, too because today is National Cinnamon Crescent Day. Now if your mornings are like mine, making a big breakfast before the men folk head out the door isn’t always possible. This takes almost no time. Served with some fresh fruit and tall glasses of ice cold milk, it’s like sending them out into the world wrapped in a big hug.

Why a big feast for Palm Sunday? If your family is like mine, you’re going to have a big gathering Easter Sunday. My youngest sister is the host of the big Easter event this year. I wanted to get Easter Week off to a great start by celebrating the Passion of the Season. And by Passion, I’m not talking about the negative aspects, but rather a celebration of great love and great joy. Hosanna in the Highest.

Ginger Ale Fish and Shrimp Fry
Whenever we are traveling and want to grab a quick “fast-food” bite that isn’t the usual burger, Long Johns is always a popular choice. Hubby loves their golden fried fish, plump fried shrimp and a basket of French Fries. With enough Malt Vinegar, even Kiddo doesn’t mind a piece of deep-fried fish.
Holy Week and a Purple Passion Cake
We are fast approaching the end of the Lenten Season. In less than a week, we will celebrate Palm Sunday, and the beginning of Holy Week leading to the joyful celebration that is Easter Sunday.
Crab Empanadas with Remoulade Sauce
Greeting one and all! How are you on this fine day, the 29th day in the Lenten Season? As promised, I have for you another delicious recipe void of pork, beef or chicken. The pretty much leaves us with ingredients grown from the ground or swimming in the waters somewhere.
Crab Oreganata in a Scallop Shell
Don’t you just love these shells? I know I do. I like anything that is served in something different – like a shell or a hollowed out coconut bowl or bread or pineapples. We once ate at a restaurant that used pineapples cut lengthwise and hollowed out to serve rice, sweet and sour pork or teriyaki chicken. It was awesome! I want to try a backyard tropical party with pineapples as serving platters and drink cups. I think that would be fun, don’t you?
Blueberry Boy Bait Cake
Good morning everyone! Welcome to National Coffee Cake Day. Did you know that Coffee Cakes contain no coffee? Of course you did! These single layer cakes are intended to be eaten while enjoying a cup of coffee.
Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken Thighs
The closer we come to May, the more my thoughts wander to Cinco de Mayo. One of the best Cinco de Mayo parties Hubby and I ever hosted was while we were living in Las Vegas. Our Southwest home was in a gated Pueblo housing development. All the homes were custom Pueblo-Style homes. The community had a private park perfect for hosting block parties for the entire neighborhood. Most of the time, Hubby and I did all the cooking. I’m not sure why community parties tended to come down to us acting as hosts, except to say we had a natural knack for throwing great parties. Everything from the “theme” to the decorations to the food – we are very detail orientated. Okay – I will admit I tend to be a bit of a control freak. I have a vision as to how something should be and the drive to see it through. Wow, that sounds bad.
Nugget’s Baked Mahi-Mahi with Lemon Peels
Many of you probably have never heard of the Nugget Market. It’s not a big change, although they have expanded from their humble beginnings. The father-and-son team of William and Mack Stille opened their humble little market in the sleepy town of Woodland California in September of 1926. The premise behind their store was to deliver the best possible produce at prices their neighbors could afford. And the store got its name from a contest; the winner was an 8-year-old girl who thought the gold painted pillars at the front of the market looked like gold rush Nuggets. Needless to say, the store front has evolved to capitalize on the image of the gold rush nuggets.

Warm Ham and Cheddar Loaf
Hubby is such a strange man. He will not nibble on a cheese platter. He turns his nose up at my wonderful holiday Cheese Ball creation. Put cheese on a burger? No way! But grill a ham sandwich and he loves American Cheese or a nice slice of cheddar. Pizza? You bet, pile on the cheese. I guess you could say Hubby’s a selective cheese eater.
Italian Lemon Grilled Tilapia Piccata
Didn’t I tell you Italy has some of the best Lenten Dishing going? I love Piccata. I first fell in love with Veal Piccata, then perfected my own take on Chicken Piccata. At Christmas, one of our favorites is Dover Sole Piccata. I’ve even made my Pork Piccata the star of a six course Italian Supper.
Celebrating National Burrito Day
National Burrito Day is one of those moving holidays, much like American’s Thanksgiving. The celebration of all things Burrito is observed annually on the first Thursday of April. The word burritos was a term used in the Guanajuato reason, and it means Little Donkey in Spanish. Some believe that burritos got their name because they look like the bedrolls and packs that were carried on the backs of small donkeys. In other regions of Mexico, a similar rolled tortilla is known as a Flauta. Chimichangas are a type of burrito that has been deep-fried rather than grilled. While no one knows for sure, it’s believed that the Burrito was first introduced in the United States in the 1930’s at the El Cholo Spanish Café in Los Angeles. El Cholo has been in operation since the 1920’s and continues to serve up authentic family recipes.
