Mediterranean Pita Pockets

Grub., Le Petit Dejuener | October 11, 2012 | By

What IS IT with Tupperware? Every time I put a piece away, I neatly stack it nestled from large to small and lids to the side. Then I close the cabinet door and I SWEAR to you, those plastic little lunatics have a good time, make babies and those babies throw themselves around in a deconstructive manner.

Thai Lettuce Wraps

Dinner, Grub. | October 24, 2011 | By

I honestly think I could be vegetarian. All day long, I pretty much eat vegetarian. That is, until dinner when Ryan gets home and spoils everything. I can already see his hubby’s note on this one.

Him: “Well, if you didn’t cook ridiculously amazing things every night I wouldn’t weigh one hundred and ……”
Me: “Well honey, if you weren’t such a protein junkie we could eat simpler, less savory and delicious items. This blog is all your fault. So there.”

Southeast Asian Salad

Dinner | January 26, 2011 | By


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.
