Sushi Date Night

Happy Friday, ya’ll! The kids are having a slumber party with the grandparents on this cold rainy/snowy/icy Georgia night, so the hubby and I decided to spurge on a sushi date night. We don’t get to have these very often; the girls turn up their noses at sushi, and it can get a bit pricey. There are a ton of great sushi places here, but we decided on a casual place less that 5 miles away called the Mori House. We usually get a few plates to share; a couple of rolls and a few appetizers. Great drinks and food every time! Here is how we “rolled” tonight 😉

Gaga Roll (deep fried California Roll) and Dragon Roll (shrimp tempura and eel)

The rest of the evening? Cracking open a bottle of red and catching up on my DVR’d shows 😉 I get to sleep in tomorrow, so I am super excited to snuggle under the covers for a few extra hours of sleep!

Merry Christmas!

Friday Faves 12/11/15

Eating Out, Friday Faves

Happy Friday, ya’ll! I hope you all had a great week!

It has been an emotional one for me. Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of my sweet Lizzie. She would be 10 and had been fighting cancer since she was 4. That life was all our little family knew, so it was our normal. This past year we have been trying to get used to figuring out how to live our lives in a whole new way. It has been mostly amazing, but of course we miss our girl more than anything.

Pretty holiday flowers for Lulu.

Learning about Hanukkah.

Holiday parties at the girls’ school.

Dinner at Lizzie’s favorite restaurant- Habatchi =)

After Becca’s party, I went to yoga. It was so weird going to a class in the middle of the day.

After yoga, I was starving, so I treated myself to an amazing Indian buffet for lunch. I especially loved the lamb meat balls and the Cheese Paneer. I went back to the buffet twice! I tried EVERYTHING. Soup, salad, veggies, meat, and amazing sauces! Sweet, sour, spicy; I loved every bite!

This weekend brings Pilates, parties, shopping, cooking, eating, Barre, family pictures, and DVR catch-up. Hope you have a great weekend!

Stuffed Shells and Some Shenanigans

Eating Out, Misc. stuff, Pasta

Hey guys! It is so weird not typing out a new blog every day or so. The kitchen is coming together! The floor and most of the electrical is done! It looks so amazing!

This week the hubby is putting up some drywall and doing some other odds and ends to prepare for the cabinets to be put in next week. He has a few little helpers who have loved helping out here and there.

As for food, we have been going out, getting take-out, using the toaster oven and microwave, and actually have been cooking at a neighbor’s house a few times a week. I miss having my kitchen, but it will be worth it in the end.

Made some lamb for the girls last night…https://funfoodiefamily.com/2015/09/10/cast-iron-lamb-chops/

Today we went to lunch at a yummy Dim Sum place. Katie loved it! Becca was not sold on it but loved practicing with her chop sticks!

Family Birthday Dinner

Eating Out

Last week was my birthday. The hubby and I went out to a fancy dinner and my parents babysat the girls. Last night we all went out for my family birthday dinner. We went to Red Lobster, which is a favorite by all. Mostly me who can eat seafood and cheese biscuits everyday of the week if given the chance. Eating leftovers and who knows what else the rest of the week =)
