Beef Chimichangas and Crumble Top Apple Muffins

For the beef chimichangas cook beef and diced green peppers...
Spread some refried beans on the tortillas.

Cover the beef mixture with taco sauce.

Add spoonfuls to the tortillas and cover with Mexican blend cheese...

Wrap up and bake.

These were really good, but someone needs to teach me how to properly wrap a burrito.

Making the crumbles for the muffins...butter and brown sugar.

Cutting up granny smith apples.

Make the batter and add the apple pieces.

Spoon into the muffin liners and add some of the crumbles on top.

All done

4th of July

We went down to the (what used to be cool) VP Fair on the 2nd. I haven't been down there in 10 years and it has gotten really small since then. There's no more rides or ticket booths and hardly any concession stands. I remember it used to be wall to wall people so bad that you almost passed out from heat exhaustion. At least there was nobody passing out, but it was sad to see the celebration look so lame....
Here's us waiting for the air show.
