Dining for Less

Not being boastful or conceited, I know I am a good cook. I love cooking for my family. I love trying new recipes. I cook different foods from different cuisines. I enjoy spending time cooking and making healthy and delicious meals. Few years ago, you wouldn't see me in the kitchen but things have changed when I had a family of my own. I became domesticated and I actually enjoyed it.

Though, I cook most of the times, hubby always like to bring us out to dine. There was a time when we dine every weekend. We try different restaurants in different places and decide which of their menu we love the best. Sometimes, we drive for an hour and just look for a place to dine and rate their food. And because we love to dine and eat out as well us cook healthy meals, I joined Mydeals.com to get free exclusive coupons for food and drink. Mydeals is a website that offers discounts, coupons and deals in different categories. Their website is not just limited to food and drink. They actually have anything and everything that you need. You can even search for a certain store and look what deals you can grab.

I am glad that I get coupons and deals that help me save and enable us to dine for less.  Currently, I get offers from the mail and I can also print coupons and deals online.  Now, whenever we dined out, I am not very concerned about the money we will spend because I know whenever we go out, I have with me a coupon that can lessen our bill.

Using coupons when dining out or buying groceries has helped us.  My pantry has all the supplies I need for a fraction of its original cost, thanks to coupons!

Pre-Birthday Dining Out

It is the weekend again and I am so excited!! Aside from another 2 days of bonding with my hubby and my little girl, we also get to eat out again. I wish we can try something new again. This weekend will be special because it's a semi-celebration of hubby's birthday. I will still cook his favorites at home during his actual birthday but since we're going out, I'd still prefer we dine somewhere he wants. Which reminds me, the way we eat and with less exercise, I should invest into buying a weight loss pills. Knowing me when we eat out, I'm sure I'll be eating a lot this weekend plus during his birthday so having the best weight loss pills during these times will be a lot of help.

I wonder what we'll be having? He fancies seafoods and barbecue. I don't know if he'll be adventurous again and try something new, but regardless of what he chooses to eat, I'm all for it, after all it's his special day.

Dining and Bonding

Once a week we dine out. It’s kind of our eating bonding time. We don't necessarily go to expensive places at all times. We just want to go out and have a meal outside the house. Yesterday, we dined at Cajun Steamer Bar and Grill. They serve famous southern foods like fried frog legs, alligator tails and of course popular seafood like shrimps, fish, crawfish and crabs.

I personally loved the alligator tails. I know it’s kind of weird thinking you are actually eating alligator but they served it in such a way that you wouldn’t even notice it was something unusual. Dave had the seafood platter. It had fried fish, shrimp, crab cakes, frog legs, fried oyster and fried clams. It was actually a big serving and a bit expensive too. I ordered grilled fish.

Based on its name, foods at this restaurant are mostly served Cajun style, everything had a bit of spice in it and most of them are fried. Fried foods are always not good for dieters but every once in a while anyone can indulge into something good and yummy. Well, there are effective diet pills that comes handy when food is bad for the diet.
