There are a lot of advantages to eating at home. Are you at a loss for what to fix? At our house i am lucky enough to have a retired chef with a sense of adventure. There is a series of books by Todd Wilbur about eating restaurant quality food at home. He details how to save time, calories, and cost, while eating food VERY similar to what is served in America's favorite restaurants.
Today was an incredible day. First we had a cheesy hashbrown casserole with a side of peppered bacon, minus the $30 Cracker Barrel bill. That brunch went a long way into our day. For dinner we had Chinese takout, but it was ready in 15 minutes instead of an hour waiting for the driver plus the tip.
For dessert, which we have on average about once a month, we tried Betty Crocker Supreme Decadence chocolate cake. It's the kind with melted chocolate chunks, that you could get with ice cream and a $10 tab at any casual dining chain.
Stay tuned for more hints on how to enjoy restaurant food at home, on the cheap, and don't forget the calories are a joke compared to what you'd get going out to eat several times a week.
