Some other things I've made recently

Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps  - a recipe found in Women's Health Magazine

They were easy to make and delicious!  I loved the crisp, refreshing lettuce!

Another lazy day... I fried up some veggies and added them to a bottle of pre-made tomato sauce

... added some cheese and it was dinner.  For two nights.

After talking about how we need to eat healthier R and I decided to make nachos for dinner.  With ground beef

The secret is layering.  Chips, cheese, veggies, beef.  So good... but so bad.

Then it was time to make a second attempt at sushi.  This time I was making tempura shrimp sushi so I cut up some extra veggies to batter up and fry...

Careful!  It's hot!  I used a boxed Tempura Shrimp Batter mix and I wouldn't do it again. It wasn't crispy it was... doughy.  

I've also decided sushi is a 'going out' food.  Although I followed the proper directions for sushi rice...  it was a lot of work and ... well... you can see the results above.

This was a dinner R made.  Steak on the BBQ (charcoal), butternut squash and a salad with tons of veggies, cheese, and walnuts.

The dinner was so good this is how Sadie spent most of the time it took us to eat...  

... so did Finny.  But it was too good to share!!!  For me anyhow.   R always shares with the girls.

Mmmm.... have I told you how much I love vegetables??  I really do.  Peppers... onions...  

coconut milk, curry paste, and some drained, diced tomatoes.  A fine recipe for shrimp curry!  I was following a recipe for this one... kind of.  I can't find a link to it though.  Basically I fried up the veggies until they were soft... added the coconut milk and curry paste... drained to tomatoes... and brought it all to a boil.  At the end I added the shrimp just to warm (they were pre-cooked).  

The recipe called for corn starch to thicken the recipe but I didn't have any... so the sauce was rather soupy.  Still... delicious!
