If you are looking for great vietnamese food for an AMAZING price in Salt Lake City, UT look no further Than Oh Mai on S State Street. I cannot even count the number of times I have eaten at this adorable little place. The pho is incredible but the banh mi sandwich is the rock star on the menu.

Tanner Park SLC, UT
The off leash area is actually behind Tanner Park so please keep your pooches leashed until you reach that area as no one wants to be the person to cost everyone the benefits of this wonderful park.
Chunky Artichoke & Jalapeño Dip
During a visit to my father in Arizona I found this delicious dip in his refrigerator. I highly recommend that you go to Costco and snap this delectable treat up! Scoop it up with your favorite chips or spread it on some bread and pop it in the oven to bubble up under the broiler.

Chicken Tikka Masala
My dad was a pilot in the Air Force and remains a commercial pilot to this day. With his career he has had the opportunity to travel the world and he has always been all about the local eats. I remember growing up how he would get home from a trip or deployment/assignment and would start recreating the cuisine at home. Some culinary phases lasted longer than others. I bemoan the day he quit searching for the perfect steak and to this day feel a full gag reflex kicking in when I smell miso-glazed salmon (I swear that and miso soup is all we ate for months). As an adult I am very grateful for his experimentation as it taught me to be open minded to food and try everything twice. This open mindedness has led me to many great finds such as lengua and several not so great (in my own personal opinion) discoveries like poi. I have developed quite a fondness for Indian food *cough cough chicken tikka masala cough* over the years but it is one of those cuisines I just didn't think I was capable of recreating at home until now...
Burger Bar
If you haven't been to the Top Chef Hubert Keller's Burger Bar in Vegas I highly recommend that you go. The gourmet burgers are an experience in themselves. The sweet potato fries are delectable. The shrimp salad is divine.
However those things are not even the best part... it is ALL about the Nutella shake.
This delectable milkshake is just a glass full chocolatey hazelnut goodness topped with delectable chocolate whipped cream. If your in Sin City just go and drink one for me.
Spinach Berry Smoothie
I know what your thinking, "you don't drink spinach", just try this recipe once and I promise you will not regret it!
Lengua Tacos
I have been encouraging Hubby to branch out from his usual tex mex and try some authentic mexican dishes. Don't get me wrong I hail from the land of tex mex and I love it but Texas also happens to be northern Mexico and I have had the opportunity to visit hole in the wall taquerias like Tortilleria de Zacateca off Camp Bowie and taste the heaven that is lengua tacos.
Rosemary Pizza Dough
I love Love LOVE rosemary! About a year ago I felt inclined to add it to a batch of pizza dough and I have never looked back.
Crockpot Queso
As a relocated Texan I have a deep love for queso. I do not discriminate I am an equal opportunity queso lover but Momma's Crock-Pot Queso will always have a special place in my heart.
