Senor Luna – Grafton, WI

Well, we made it over a month eating in for dinners.   Not one dinner eaten out of the house and no takeout cheats either!  On Saturday night, we stopped at Senor Luna in Grafton, WI.  This little “burb” town north of Milwaukee has a nice small town feel.  A few nice restaurants and lots of

Singapore-Style Noodles

Looking for something festive for Chinese New Year to make?  This past week, I tried this dish and enjoyed it very much.  Can’t say I would have thought bacon goes well in this dish…but it’s smoky flavor goes well with the spices.  The only adjustment that I’ll make going forward with this dish would be
