Sometimes, you just need a kick in the butt to get motivated. I haven't been up-and-at-'em when it comes to cooking lately, and I've been slacking on my healthy habits. No more. It's time to take 2017 by the horns and make it our bi---oh, well you get the gist. In a fit of passion,… Continue reading Roasted Veggie Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing

Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps

Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I have a fondness for asian cuisine; specifically, Thai food. Kaffir lime, curry, thai basil, coconut milk---the whole shebang. Thai food is warm and welcoming and contains all of the major taste senses: sweet, sour, salty, & spicy. No matter how hard I try, I can never duplicate authentic Thai cuisine. Pad Thai is my most… Continue reading Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
