Indonesian Beef and Veggie Bowls + $22 Dress

This is a little powerhouse bowl filled with so many tasty flavors.  I am starting to love "bowls" as much as my beloved salads.  You could easily sub brown rice for the white but there is something about white rice with the ground beef.   I don't eat white rice often so I figure its ok every now and then.  If you don't eat read meat you could use ground chicken instead. 

The flavors in the meat are complex- a touch sweet with some heat and spice and then creaminess from the coconut.  Crazy good I tell you.  The crisp veggies pair perfectly with the meat. Drizzle it all with some hot sauce and you have a kick ass dinner. 

Side note-  if you are serving this to kids I just left all the veggies off theirs and just served them the rice and meat.

Scenes From Our Weekend

Hello Monday.

Friday I was invited to attend the grand opening of the new Drybar in Charleston.   We were treated to mimosas and a blow out.  I have to tell you it was such a treat to have my hair done and it lasted all weekend.  They used these 5 products on me and I loved them all.

(The new Drybar is located at 556 King Street)

The salon was so bright and pretty.  They have a book of hair styles you can choose from.  I went with the Mai Tai which was loose beach waves.

We grabbed lunch at The Rarebit after our hair appointment.  I had the beet salad and it was really good.  I added grilled chicken for some extra protein.
