Move over Mexican

Ok, Ok.

That just sounds bad.

But I am in utter shock.

I have mentioned over and over again that I have a severe obsession with Mexican food. I will literally eat Mexican food any time of day, everyday. I especially love beans and burritos. Mmm.

But, I have found a...GASP... new cuisine that I am quite find of: Greek. (In all actuality probably a more Americanized version of Greek, but still). Oh my goodness. I could seriously bathe in hummus, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. And tonight, Mr. Ruby and I are heading out on a date night to a Greek restaurant. I can't WAIT!

I've been making the most amazing Greek salads and wraps for lunch...check out all the feta!! Mmm!!!


And another latest obsession? Craisins!!! Seriously, these things make just about anything taste good: chex mix, salads, cookies, and my most recent: chicken salad. This was seriously the best chicken salad I've ever made. I couldn't possibly give you the recipe...because I just threw a bunch of stuff in. The special ingredients that made my taste buds extra happy were shaved almonds and Craisins!

MMMMMMM!!! that all looks SO good! and i agree, craisins make ANYTHING better, i throw them on tossed salads ALL the time!!!

um, really want to make your chicken salad yummy? toss a bit of curry in it. i know, i know, sounds gross. and i don't like indian food at ALL. but it doesn't taste like that, my grandma makes hers with the pre-cooked whole chicken you get at the grocery store, curry, apples, almonds, grapes and celery and it's seriously, the best chicken salad i've EVER had in my life. i crave it. give it a try! yours sounds YUMMO though!!!

I use to think I hated feta cheese until I tried it on a salad and now I am in love with the stuff!

Basically, if there are riots in a given country, Mr. and Mrs. Ruby will eat its cuisine... haha

I love craisins! I wind up buying them in 100 calorie packs a lot and leave them in my desk. That way I can have a snack whenever I get hungry. And 100 calories of crasins, is a pretty good sized snack
