The Daily Balance

Remember the yummy restaurant I recently raved about? Well, my parents and I paid it another visit this past weekend.

Just like last time, the soup selection spoke (er, bubbled?) to me! But this time around I tried something new — red lentil soup.

This was phenomenal! So flavorful and chock-full of fresh ingredients! I spotted: potato, a leafy green (kale, maybe?), carrots and of course red lentils. This was one of the best soups I’ve ever had — it rivals my own recipe!

To round out my meal, I ordered the fattoush salad, which included radish, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, black pepper and feta – it was incredibly crisp and refreshing! Perfect way for my mouth to cool down after the spicy soup

Just as I said before, I want to go back to NAYA ASAP! There are so many wonderful looking things on the menu — how boring am I for getting soup and salad?

I’ve been eating out a lot lately! I’m lucky to have such generous parents who treat me to yummy meals The Mister and I are trying to cut back on our spending by eating in more often, though – so my fancy eats may die down a bit. However, we have three dinner dates lined up, so that plan hasn’t worked out too well

How often do you eat out? Special occasions? Multiple times a week? Lots of takeout? Share!

   we really only try to eat out if it’s with friends, otherwise we kick it at home I’ve been trying to cook a LOT more and develop more recipes, and it’s just fun for us to be a “team” in the kitchen together

   We eat out on special occasions only. So probably only like once every few months.
