Daryl’s mom and sister threw me a great wedding shower yesterday.  I had made quite a stink about not wanting a big fuss or a wedding shower for that matter, but luckily they didn’t listen to me!  🙂  My family, Daryl’s family and my brides maids all surprised me with all sorts of herbs, spices, salts, marinades, oils vinegars and rubs.  Making this even better they were all accompanied by a recipe or quick note about a great way to use them.

I apologize the images are a little blurry, Daryl took the camera for Ice Weekend with the boys- so my old point and shoot will have to do the trick.  So with my Sunday wide open I took it upon myself to fully inspect my loot and make a fabulous dinner for myself.  I had a recipe stashed away for just the opportunity.  Paleo Pad Thai.  I added double the amount of almond butter, chili sauce and fish sauce which I now had courtesy of Nan!  I took a picture of my own but it wasn’t nearly as good as the original post so I will let you click through.

First of many recipe to come.  As you can see, we have all had tiring weekend 🙂
