I.

Am.

So.

Sorry.

I know it has been way way too long since my last post.

I have been so busy. The month of July is so packed full of fun and amazing things which has been AWESOME…but it leaves my blog/bloggers starving for some TLC.

Not only has this month been great so far, but there is so much to look forward to! This weekend we have a triathlon that Mikey will be doing for his 3rd year in a row. I am going to do the running portion…NOT the whole thing!

Mikey and I spent the 4th at his cabin, relaxing and laying in the sun.

My friend April is coming to Chicago for work and will be here this Monday through MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

That is secretly why I love July so much 🙂

Asian Meatballs with Sesame Lime Dipping Sauce

/ mikeysinmykitchen / 3 Comments

Last week I had a pound of frozen, ground turkey and zero inspiration.

I googled “ground turkey recipes” and found a super easy and fast meatball recipe.

Sold.

Meatballs usually are not something you associate with “Asian Cuisine”, at least not in my life…when I hear meatballs I think:

Pasta. Bread. Garlic. Parmesan. Carbs. Marinara. Carbs.

So I am pretty excited to find a meatball that doesn’t have me reaching for copious amounts of bread all night long!

Oriental Salad

Sorry it has been so long since I put up a post.

I have been so so so so busy. Which is great, because it means I’m having a super awesome summer.

But it is bad because I can’t bake and cook as often as I would like.

And that makes Mikey sad.

He loves when I cook for him. And sometimes I don’t want to and he has to  eat really bad/frozen things.

I’m going to cook something delicious tonight. And hopefully bake too…but this LAME Chicago weather makes me want to curl up on the couch all night…

But for now, I will share this recipe with you.

It’s the easiest.

But, Mikey loves it.

And I wanted to make him smile.

So I made it for him. And he was happy about that.

White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Bread Pudding with Whiskey Caramel Sauce

/ mikeysinmykitchen / 10 Comments

Sometimes I wish that I could bend the truth.

Buuuuuutttt I can’t.

I have THE most guilty conscience.

I want to tell you how this was soooo easy and how it was the most delicious thing ever.

But I made this for a family dinner on Friday, and it was a flop.

I was very distracted. This dish needs your complete attention.

I burnt the first batch of Whiskey caramel sauce and the bottom of the bread pudding was more like scrambled eggs.

Gag.

Literally.

Mikey did.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

/ mikeysinmykitchen / 2 Comments

Have you ever had the lettuce wraps at P.F. Changs?

You should try them.

They are delish/my favorite.

These wraps I have for you today are a pretty close second!

I made these for Mikey this week.

He kept mentioning how they made for such a healthy dinner.  He also said that they were super tasty and that I was the best wife ever.

Then he realized how many dishes there were and immediately changed his mind.

I use a lot of dishes when I’m cooking in a hurry.

Mikey is my dishwasher. He’s incredible like that.

I’m pretty sure he learned it from his Dad 🙂
