This post will be short and sweet because we were BUSY this weekend and I want to get some sleep.

Yesterday, we had our hands full with Big-O’s birthday party. We herded a group of his buddies to see The Muppets followed by a late lunch at The Patty Shack.

My bunless Midnight Burger hit the spot, but trying to herd a dozen small children around was a bit of a challenge. Let me just say that I don’t wish to trade places with Michelle Duggar. Ever.

Last night, we dined out at Michael Mina to bid farewell to our good friends H & D who are moving to Los Angeles (the horror!). The meal was fantastic but I definitely strayed off the Paleo reservation and made sure that there was no photographic evidence.

In between the parties yesterday and all day today, we made a big mess of our kitchen tweaking and developing recipes. Some of the grub we dreamed up included spicy tuna cakes…

…reverse-engineered LÄRABARs…

…shrimp and bacon stuffed mushrooms…

…crispy mushroom chips…

…Dukkah-crusted roasted lamb sirloin topped with mango salsa…

…and strawberry ice cream.

Dear readers, as I mentioned before, new recipes will be few and far between for now. That means no bread recipe just yet because I’m still hard at work on that side project, remember? 

Check out my big ass recipe index if you’re looking for something to whip up. With two whiny boys of my own, I’m pretty immune to any and all begging and pleading. 

Instead of the bread recipe, how about a cool giveaway instead? Stay tuned tomorrow morning for the details…

About Michelle Tam

Hello! My name is Michelle Tam, and I love to eat. I think about food all the time. It borders on obsession. I’ve always loved the sights and smells of the kitchen. My mother was (and is) an excellent cook, and as a kid, I was her little shadow as she prepared supper each night. From her, I gained a deep, abiding love for magically transforming pantry items into mouth-watering family meals.
