Southeast Asian Salad
There is seriously no reason other than my own love for Southeast Asia that this salad has its name. For our honeymoon, we went to Bali, Bangkok, and Koh Samui. Before I met my husband I spent a month with my dad in Vietnam and Singapore. I am completely in love with that part of the world. Two things I have on my bucket list are to go to Australia and back to Bali. The culture, the kindness of the people and the pure calm and peacefulness is enthralling. So this salad reminds me of Asia and it is so ridiculously good, you will eat the whole bowl. So make sure you’re under adult supervision and share so that others can enjoy it with you. A HUGE shout out to my Molly for turning me onto this salad during our recent Mommies & Babies gone wild trip to Catalina. I know, we’re a wild bunch people! 3 moms, 1 auntie, 1 grandma and EIGHT KIDS for a week in Catalina. Every year. 😉
Hubby’s note: The idea for this recipe was not the only thing we brought back from Southeast Asia. A prescription helped the second thing go away though.
Green Chile Breakfast Casserole
This fabulous breakfast casserole is great for brunch, Easter or a lazy Sunday morning. You can prepare it the night before and then throw it in the oven the next morning which is quite fantastic when in the morning all you want to do is drink a cup of coffee and zone out to Chuggington with the kids.
Hubby’s note: Did you really just say zone out to Chuggington? Skip the Chuggington and bring me the coffee. Or a Mimosa.
Beef and Spinach Lasagna
I have always shied away from making lasagna. It just seems like a time consuming, awful mess. That was until my brilliant mother in law parted the clouds and showed me the way…to the noodles you don’t have to boil and lay on foil and get frustrated with because they stick or rip. Thus I give you, easy as pie lasagna.
Hubby’s note: Just remember, that brilliance runs in the family.
