Mellow Mushroom

Friday nights are either date night (kids go to the gym where they have a date night for members) or Friday Family Fun Night. Usually we try to rotate these. We all have a vote for dinner. Mine was Mexican, per usual… R said Mellow Mushroom, so that won us all over. We all love this place for tons of reasons. They have a killer mushroom soup, which R always orders. E and K usually get the cheese pizza and cheesy meatballs. The hubby always gets the Might Meaty. As for me, I always get something different. I think at this point, I have had almost everything on the menu. I got the House Calzone. I didn’t pull out my camera, but here is a picture I found on the web. I ate half of it and some of R’s soup. Best thing is we were all together!

His and Her Breakfasts

I wanted a vegetarian omelet, so I made one with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.

My husband made himself a pretty yummy frittata. Of course, I had to have a taste. I am kind of like a hobbit; I eat first breakfast and second breakfast any time I can.

My husband’s breakfast- potatoes thinly sliced, chopped bacon, and American Cheese

Life Cycle of a Steak

Once upon a dinner there was a beautiful steak named T-Bone. A sweet lady talked to him and gave him a lot of love. She gave him the gift of salt and pepper, and gave him a nice massage. Then it got very steamy; she put him in a screaming hot cast iron pan, and cooked him for 6 minutes per side. It was hot, but he knew it was his destiny. She took him off heat and let him rest at least 5-10 minutes. She said he was so pretty and gave him a kiss. She put him on a pretty plate.
Cut.
Devour.
The End.

Meal Planning 8/24

Last week we ate a lot of leftovers and Chinese food. https://funfoodiefamily.com/2013/08/22/chinese-take-out/

This week, I am going to do my best to make a few more recipes.

Sat. T-bone steak, baked potatoes, veggie

Sunday- Girl’s night! When the husband’s away, us girls will play! Hubby has a late night, so I will let the girls pick dinner…can be waffles, Chinese food, pizza, Zaxby’s; who knows!

Monday- Taco Spaghetti I found on Pinterest http://www.sohowsittaste.com/2013/04/taco-spaghetti.html

Tuesday- My parents are coming over to take care of the girls. My husband and I both have class, so probably something quick on the road or something late thrown together.

Wednesday- Ballet, gymnastics, Taekwondo. Busy night, for sure. Hamburgers are always fast and easy! We were supposed to have them a couple of weeks ago, but never got around to them. Not sure why…that is the thing with planning. Even if you get home, get busy, and decide to go to Schlotzsky’s drive through, you already have a meal for next week in the freezer!

Thursday- Chicken, Farro, and a veggie

Friday- Date Night!

Hope you have a great food week!

Chinese Take Out

Crazy week!
Sat.-Monday were my only cooking nights. Tuesday I had a meeting in the evening. I had my leftover oxtail from Date night. Sadly, no mojitos.

Wednesday was gymnastics, another meeting, so we had leftover baked ziti from the freezer.

Tonight, my husband has a very late night, so the girls and I took a vote and decided on Chinese. Chinese take-out that is; egg drop soup, egg roll, crab Rangoons, shrimp and broccoli, and chicken lo mein. This is what was left over from a ton of food. LEFTOVERS!!! 019
