Collin and I both love food - no matter if it is homemade or from a restaurant. In Germany we went out to eat about twice a week, sometimes even more often. We were living in a very rural area with many neat little Bavarian restaurants. The food was great and very cheap. Most of the time we didn't pay more than 20 Euros and that included drinks, an appetizer, and two main dishes. After moving back to the US, we realized we couldn't continue with this habit because going out to eat is so much more expensive here (By the way, whatever happened to 10% tips? Is 20% really the new standard? We need to give servers a regular wage!).
Therefore we have been cutting down on eating out drastically. I cook every night. Sometimes I stick to our regular meals that are easy and fast to make. Sometimes I try something new. And sometimes we just eat leftovers from the previous night.
Here are a few of the meals I prepared recently:
Mushroom Cheeseburger
Peppered Salmon in a Creamy Lemon Olive Sauce with Rice
Cheesy Broccoli Bacon Macaroni
Schitzel with Sauteed Mushrooms and Homemade French Fries
Tomato Mozzarella Chicken and Parmesan Penne
Cauliflower Quiche
