Morning everyone! So I've been a busy bee the last few days...hope you are as SURPRISED as I am that it's FRIDAY already!
So on Wednesday I had visited a friend up in North Jersey and we had quite the feast for lunch! We had visited the lovely little Ridgewood (home of HUGE pancakes & Cupcakes by Carousel), but this time sampled something with a little Mediterranean flair at "It's Greek to Me" which served...well, one wild guessJ hehehehehehehe...
I pretty much wanted to sample the ENTIRE appetizer menu, but we managed to narrow it down to the "Revithosalata"....or what I think was hummusJ It was sooooo smooth, creamy & olive oil-y that I could NOT stop going back for more with the fresh, warm pita...yum!
And, again, while it was TERRIBLY tough to narrow down an entree selection, I figured since I never had actually have TRIED a gyro before, what better place to give it a whirl?? (me thinks a slight step up from the street carts in NYC, no?J)
mmmm...so good! The meat was super tender and served along with MORE fresh pita & my absolute FAVORITE part: the
My friend had tried the Mousaka (eggplant, potato & ground beef pie) and enjoyed that...
...although I don't think EITHER of us enjoyed our lunch as much as her one-year old!!! He chowed RIGHT down on that Mousaka and could not get ENOUGH of the Revithosalata! I was cracking up!J
What a sweetie pieJ
And while our tiny dining companion split some rice pudding with his Momma for dessert, I HAD to try the baklava...causeee...when in Rome a Greek restaurant...
A sweet way to end a REALLY yummy lunch...I already can't wait to go back, and I'm sure my friend's little peanut would say the same!J hehehehhehee...
Yesterday I spent a nice afternoon sharing crabs & macaroni with my Aunt for lunch, but was pretty stumped as to what to make for dinner. Thankfully, we had this little awesome number in our fridge...
My Mom got this TOASTED COCONUT BREAD from an Amish stand at a Farmer's Market and I had been nibbling on it's coconut trimmed slices for breakfast & lunch ever since....
And last night we had JUST ENOUGH left to KICK IT UP a notch and turn that coconut loaf into some French Toast! Complete with a little extra coconut kick from....
MMMMMmmmmmm....coconut-y & fabulous! I could hardly bear to use ANY syrup on here in fear of ruining it's lovely coconut taste. French & Fabulous! hahahahhahaha
Well, that about sums up my last few days. What are we having for dinner tonight?? NO CLUE! But it has to be something on the LIGHTER side as my friend & I will need to scoot off to CHRISTMAS YOGA TONIGHT!!!!!!!! SSOOOOOOOO excited! I went last year and it was PROBABLY one of my favorite things I did the ENTIRE CHRISTMAS season. So excited to 'kick off the season' on a 'centered' note to REALLY enjoy what the season is aboutJ hehehehehehe...Hope you guys have a great Friday! I'll have LOTS of other CHRISTMAS-Y things to show you from this weekendJ
Until Then:
Namaste...
