The Food Addicts

Last night we couldn’t figure out what to eat for dinner! We rummaged through the fridge and saw the huge box of salad we bought at Costco and decided to make a chicken salad with Asian dressing. The dressing is very similar to what you would have at Benihana’s or any other Japanese restaurant. It [...]

The past couple of days have been busy, so we weren’t able to cook anything! But we’re back with something you don’t think about eating everyday – Swedish Meatballs!
