I call this home base pad thai because it’s the safe house. The starting place. The jumping point for all other fun variations. Toss in some shrimp for shrimp pad thai. Add some bean sprouts for veggie pad thai. See? Home base.

Ah… taco Tuesday. It was totally a thing in junior high. Every tuesday, I’d get in the taco salad line. It was a nutritional monstrosity, with a deep-fried tortilla shell, mystery beans, rice, cheese, a few shavings of iceberg lettuce, boatloads of sour cream, and a little salsa.

Michael and I both drooled at that suggestion. We didn’t stop thinking about that idea, and when Michael’s [...]

 Michael and I talk all the time about how being married and eating together has changed the foods we eat. For instance, I didn’t eat much in the way of potatoes, hardly ever bought red meat, and had NEVER cooked steak of any kind before we were married. Now, potatoes find their way into our [...]

(What a mouthful! I just couldn’t think of anything better to describe it.) I’ve made a great discovery, dear reader. Fish fits quite easily into my Lots-of-Things-Off-Limits nursing diet. We had a wonderful teriyaki salmon (salmon + teriyaki sauce) two weeks ago, and I had the hankering for more fish. Fish can be tricky, since [...]
