Spicy Mac & Cheese

My husband really loves Sriracha, you know, the spicy red sauce in the plastic bottle wit a green top with a rooster pictured on the front.

Every stir fry or rice dish that we make gets smothered in it for Jason.

And I take a few drops for the garlic, chili ka-pow that it adds.

Splurging on Mac & Cheese

I just got back from a long Fourth of July weekend visiting my husband's Grandmere (aka French grandmother) and exploring Nashville, Tennessee.

And boy was it a blast. Shopping at their new H&M, going out to fancy dinners and lunches in East Nashville and buying way too many things at Trader Joe's...I mean, what could be better? (P.S. Stay tuned for a special Nashville food post in the next week or two.)

It was definitely a weekend of splurging, but now it's back to cheap stir fry dinners and rice and beans for lunch.

I think we can all agree that sometimes you just need a splurge, whether it's a special occasion or you just want to make a normal day more exciting.
