Recipes

This week has been a little nuts. No matter what I do I feel like I just can’t catch up with work, email, phone calls, everything. And cooking this week has pretty much disappeared. Let’s just say I have been eating a lot of frozen leftovers, veggie sandwiches, eggs, and these yummy little baked flautas, or maybe they are taquitos. I am not really sure. Either way consider this a blueprint, rather than a recipe for a quick easy meal. They taste good with almost anything stuffed inside.

What do you eat when you have no time to cook?
