This is right up my alley. I love eggroll fillings, but I haven’t been a fan of deep fried wantons for a few decades now. I need to make this at some point this week.

Anti-Pasto Platter
A throwback picture to when I worked in catering and we’d have to make these huge anti-pasto platters for 100+ guests from time to time. To make it easier for us to make these on the fly, and for the times when only one of us would work on it because the other was too busy with another order, the catering manager standardized the look of the platters.
These boards really only changed minimally depending on what and how much of an ingredient we had on hand that day. I still like making these, but my husband isn’t into charcuterie boards. At all. Despite it being mostly meat. It’s baffling to me. 🙂
Cake Mix Cookies
I’m a big fan of food hacks. I don’t have a lot of time and mental bandwidth to think of these myself, so when I come across them, I take a screencap for the future when I know I’ll be looking to cut corners. But, a food hack has to be a clever hack. The hack can’t ruin the final product. And it has to make my life easier. Like this one.
Testing Choco-Earl Grey Shake
Something about this drink intrigues me. I need to try it this week.
Our Scion IQ Baby Car
I love the look of our new car. This is a stock photo of the front, but here is one I took of the back end, complete with the ridiculous spoiler my husband installed. Hee.
Breakfast Pasta Skillet

I feel it’s never too early in the day for pasta, so I like to find ways to make it for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. And I never hear any objections from the spousal unit, so this is one I will be testing this long weekend.
I also want to test this with leftover Jasmine rice. Probably Asian noodles, too. And if we’re going that far, why not leftover bulgur?
‘Mmm… I making myself hungry running down the possibilities. Heh.
