Birdhouse by the cottage-- now you can see it since I trimmed all the ivy! 

Here's a little package I put together to bring to Kara Ann's house lunch! Our famous (and to be blogged about in the future) quesadilla pockets! Or pockadillas, we like to call 'em.

  

Simple ingredients. oil, cheese, salsa and tortillas.   

Dinner and dessert with Kara and Kevin after lunch. Orzo pasta salad, mmm.

 
Step one: Make orzo.  Boil water, let sit, strain, stir, you know the drill.

 
step two: dice up some cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and cucumber

 
step three: mix it up!~!

  
step four: add some spices and/or dressing (we used a little italian dressing when we got it to our plates)  and gobble up!!! 

And for dessert........... 

 
CUPCAKES!!! and yes, they're in ice cream cones. :)
