Taco Bell used to have these amazing chicken flatbread sandwiches and the price was just right to stuff your face silly with these daily. Not that you should do that on a daily basis, but HOLY CRAP, they are THAT good.                             From my   Read More …

So, I’m a quitter. Sort of. You know how I’ve written that I’m trying to be a vegetarian for health reasons? I decided to slacken the rules a little bit.
