Chive, Cilantro, Cucumber, & Feta Greek Yogurt Dip with Pita Chips | Sarcastic Cooking

As, I am typing this it is currently 9:22pm. I am sitting at our desk in the family room of our new house. I have thrown my hands in the air and given Mike control over bedtime with Andy. Reason #1 this is happening is because I need to get back to blogging. But, reason #2 is that Andy’s bedtime routine has been sucking my life force out of me just like a friggen Dementor. By the time I get him into bed, I feel like I ran an Iron Man and my body has just givenĀ out on me just as I passedĀ the finish line. As I am typing, I can hear loud thumps and running. Then silence. Then a thump.

Oh God, did Andy kill Mike?

Wow! Seven minutes later and my husband has returned. Unscathed and surprisingly vibrant. What the heck? It normally takes me at least 25 minutes to put that boy to bed. Are these kids just playing me for the fool I am?

Between Andy and his bedtime antics and Jack and his sleep training, I am losing my mind. Therefore, I have little thought coming back around to cooking. Today I finally got my ish together and just went for it. I made an easy, no cook dip. I am starting to dip my toe back into the full time recipe making world, one easy recipe at a time. Get ready for a lot of grilling and appetizer recipes, people!

    I wish I could give pointers about bedtime, but I still struggle with it. I hate bedtime with a passion!! I’m pretty sure my neighbors think I’m a raging bitch by the amount of yelling that happens past 8:00pm. This dip sounds like a perfect way to drown my bedtime sorrows!
