Yummy!

Lebanese food

is a common dinner

in our home.

It is healthy,

delicious

and for the most part

super easy to cook.

This food is in my blood.

Luckily,

my family loves it too.

One of our favorites

is Grape-leaves.

My Sity had

her own grapevine

in her backyard

where she would pick

her own leaves.

We don't have that luxury,

but luckily the leaves 

do come jarred.

One day I was

craving them soooo bad,

that was the one goal....

make grape leaves!

The boys were grumpy

as we went to the store,

but we only needed a few things.

We ran to 

the "small" Dillons.....

boys on bad behavior...

I forgot they don't sell

the leaves at this Dillons....ugh!

I was DETERMINED 

to have them,

but knew I couldn't 

drag them to another store.

So, I ran through produce

and grabbed some

Big Leaf Lettuce.....

It worked!

My "Lettuce Wraps"

were delicious!

Please ignore my poor wrapping skills!

My Lebanese heritage

means so much to me.

The boys sometimes

get a little worried by the 

different looking foods,

but I remind them that 

"Sit-Sity was the one

who taught me these recipes!"

and they get 

excited

and chow down.

I love passing on

tradition!

Hmmmm....

I may need to make these again

TODAY!
