Tryin' Thai

So I finally tried THAI FOOD! I had to capitalize that because I loved it! It was fantastic!!

I ordered the Chicken Panaag after seeing that they didn't offer a Vegetarian panaag. I asked for suggestions on twitter and panaag seemed to be the way to go.





I dumped mine on top of some rice. It was good! I'm not a big white rice fan usually but it was delicious mixed with the sauce. What do you get when you go out for thai? Any suggestions for next time?



Dessert was frozen yogurt at this amazing little yogurt shop by our apartment. You pick your own toppings and fill yourself. I picked: strawberries, blueberries, dark chocolate chips, waffle cone pieces, dark chocolate covered espresso beans and a few pieces of captain crunch. I thought it would be fantastic but I honestly went a little over the top with this one. I felt a little sick!



Nothing beats bites like these though!

I plan on doing wedding/italian honeymoon recaps ASAP!!!

Pom-Balsamic Glazed Chicken

Last night Andy and I had a few friends over and made dinner. I made a salad with homemade raspberry vinegarette, raspberries, strawberries, feta cheese and toasted almonds. It was sort of like the delicious salad they served at our wedding!

The chicken was easy to make as well. I used balsamic vinegar, cornstarch and pom juice to make a nice balsamic glaze, added in asparagus and green onions and tossed it on top. The best part? This meal cost us under $30 to make and we have all of the condiments left over to make more meals. These days a meal under $30 for 4 people is really helpful. My best friend Tiffany contributed by making us a flourless chocolate cake which I did not take pictures of! It was fantastic.

This morning I was hungry for a big breakfast. I looked in the fridge and in the cabinets and felt like we had nothing. The lazy side of me wanted to suggest going out but the sensible side of me took over. My new mantra is "make something out of nothing" so I did just that.



I cut up the leftover strawberries from last night and mixed them with grapes and a nectarine.



Then using leftover tomatoes, green onions and fontina cheese, I made a quick omelette to share. It literally cost nothing to make and filled both of us up. Why don't I do this more often? I really need to start saving up money so Andy and I can afford to travel more. I'm hoping that the blog helps motivate me to cook at home more and to save some cash!

What do you do to save money? Do you stop going out to eat altogether? Or just cut back? Andy and I are planning on cutting back to going out for one meal a week.

Free pastries and a delicious frittata

I love twitter. Because of my twitter, I was able to find out that starbucks was offering FREE pastries with a purchase of a coffee. Andy and I were still recovering from our honeymoon in Italy so we were awake around 5am. I figured a trip to starbucks would be perfect for two early birds.

Andy got a mocha and an orange cranberry scone.





I tried a blueberry scone and a nonfat caramel macchiato. Neither were THAT good. I am over sugar in my coffee. Give me a nonfat latte anyday!

All the pastries for breakfast at home and in Italy made me crave an "american breakfast." So I decided to make an italian inspired frittata at home.

Fontina, Asparagus and Tomato Frittata

I found a few recipes online and tweeked them a bit to make it my own.



It was the first time I made a frittata in a skillet.



I decided to pair it with italian blood orange soda.



Eggs are tricky because the differences between a perfectly cooked egg, overcooked egg and undercooked egg are merely seconds. I literally stared at the frittata until the eggs were firm and no longer runny at all.



The results were nothing short of amazing.



Don't you love my little kid plates? We actually have new dishes but are waiting to unpack them. We are moving the end of august.

I think I'm going to try breakfast for dinner more often!

P.s. Promise I'll start commenting to your blogs and posting more soon. Add me on twitter! My name is possiblymaybe on there.

Back to life, back to reality!

Hi! Andy and I are finally back from our wedding and honeymoon! The wedding was everything I could have asked for and more. I honestly cannot remember anything going wrong once we got to the venue. Trust me there will be posts later!

Italy was heaven for a food lover like myself. I had gelato 2-3 times a day. And I lost weight! How I lost weight while eating like a glutton is beyond me but I'll take it!


Now I'm ready to get back on the weight loss wagon and go back to reality. Before I do, let me share with you a blog post by one of my best friends. She smartly photographed our rehearsal dinner food while I stupidly did not! So check out her site, it's fun, smart and informative and also check out our yummy dinner!
