For Easter, in our house it is customary to serve lamb. For years, my mother has been making the leg of lamb in the oven with Seagrams and garlic. Well, for at least 3 years, she has managed to blow the oven door completely off from the massive explosion from the alcohol. It was quite a sight. So 3 oven doors and a new kitchen later, the parents have decided to try a new way of cooking the lamb, grill it baby! It is sooooooo freaking good! We had tons of left overs and as I was stuffing my face…
Sippin’ on Some Weight-orade
0Was on quite the hiatus but now I am back! I have been extremely tired, unmotivated and just BLEH all day, every day. I need to do something. Exercise? Yeah, maybe. Eating better? Definitely. Both are a good start. I was on Pinterest, aka the greatest site ever, looking for some alcoholic drinks for the weekend and I came across a pin about a weight-orade from Dr. Oz.

Leftover Chicken Chop-Chop
0I always try to mix things up when I have leftover roasted chicken in the fridge. Back when I was in college I worked at a place called Ciccio & Tony’s (the best place ever – wish it wasn’t only in Tampa!!) where they added “Chop-chop’s” to the menu. They are pretty much like what Chicken Kitchen or Offerdahl’s offer, but a million times better. So I started making my own versions of these chop-chops with any leftovers I have. All you need is some rice (I prefer yellow but white, brown, jasmine work), salad, some type of dressing and…
