Not your traditional cup of tea
Happy Father’s Day weekend to all the daddies out there! We couldn’t do it without our children’s fathers and so today we thought we’d give them a chance to let us in on all the things that they had no idea would change or be so different after these little bundles of joy joined the family.
Hope you’re all enjoying this beautiful weekend with your husbands, fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers and any other important father figures in your lives.
love,
Chai Mommas

So this week has been a happy week of celebrations. Started off with celebrating our very first year anniversary here at Chai Mommas. Where did the time go with these fabulous mommas? Here’s a slideshow highlighting our fun year ONE if you missed it. Today’s special too because my husband is officially done with his medical training (after a masters degree, spending time traveling the world, a year in dental school, completing med school plus four years of residency and another in fellowship…whew, I”m out of breath just thinking about all those years of hitting the books and little sleep). We are off to his fellowship graduation in a just a few hours and I couldn’t be more excited for him…and me too!
And also today June 14, 2013 we can break out that bubbly (ok, maybe just sparkling cider for me) because we made it to year number four of marriage! I simply am in shock at how fast these years have sped by. The amount of joy I have in my life now is something that I could have simply never ever ever imagined.

So I had tried a greek orzo salad at this restaurant a few years ago and thought about making it at home. I put together a few ingredients and then each time I made it, I perfected it with different items. Now a days, I throw it together anytime we need to go on a picnic or for a potluck since it’s the perfect take along dish. It’s easy to make in large batches, is vegetarian and tastes so good. My mother in law even asked for the recipe and followed it step by step to make for all her friends, (she still raves about it), and we all know what a big compliment that is when your moms like something YOU made instead of vice versa! It’s perfect for the summer since it’s cool and refreshing, plus the orzo pasta is not as heavy as regular pasta, (and healthier). Be sure to try it out for your next summer gathering, especially if you are having a 4th of July party… it’s a total crowd pleaser;) Let me know if you make it!
