First let me start off by telling you that kid menus are more of a U.S. thing. A lot of countries around the world expect children to eat what everyone else is eating, therefore, a menu for little ones isn't available. This was shocking for me when we first went out to eat in Quito, Ecuador. I though it was odd for a such a family oriented culture not to have kid menus or restaurants with play areas for them.

Strawberry Bacon & Pecan Salad
I've been on a salad kick ever since we got back from our vacation. So I've challenged myself to have one salad per day for a meal. I've been trying lots of simple and yummy combinations and this strawberry bacon & pecan salad is my all time favorite. Here in Quito we can get strawberries all year long and they for the most part always absolutely amazing and not to mention inexpensive. I bought a whole flat of delicious strawberries for $7.
