Thai Teak Restaurant

Michael's Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu...incredible!

 On our way home from running errands today, we found the cutest little restaurant in Santa Monica called Thai Teak.  They also do massages and sell orchids, but we just stopped in for the food - which was OUTSTANDING!  For $20 we got 2 entrees and an appetizer the size of an entree.  It was fresh, insanely delicious, and very filling - we both had leftovers! The kitchen was super clean and the man who served us our meal was so sweet.  It's the perfect little place for a quick lunch or dinner or maybe even a date :) The tables are bar-style by the windows, but it was still quite cozy.  I would give this place a perfect 10! 

I had chow mein tofu! YUUMM!!!! 

So if you're in or near Santa Monica, I'd definitely give this place a try!! It's located at:

2400 Main St
Santa Monica, CA 90405

Lentil Bowl

 This is very similar in taste to the Lentil and Brown Rice Casserole, but it's made with quinoa and cooks in a pot instead of in the oven..and in half the time.  It's the perfect dish for a stormy summer night.  Easy to make and easy on your budget, this is definitely a new staple!

Pizza Bellos

 While drooling my way through the prepared foods section at Whole Foods, I spotted these little guys.  Although I was tempted to buy them, I knew I could make them in 15 minutes for a fraction of the cost - so I responsibly made my way over to the produce section.  I'm big on texture, so I think I was more excited for cute mini pizzas than actually biting into a portobello crust, but.... once again I was pleasantly surprised.  They were so scrumptious and completely satisfying.  Now you can have pizza every night!! Much better than that English toast concoction my mom used to always make - sorry ma...
