How We Eat When the Kids Are Gone

(This post is not entirely true as my sweet honey took me to The Olive Garden tonight for a delicious 2 for $25 meal of never-ending bread sticks and salad, fried calamari, pork and beef ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, and smoked mozzarella chicken. Yum!)

We try to eat at least one nice meal alone at home on weekends when we’re kid-free. Here’s what we ate last time:

~an artichoke slathered in butter and steamed in vinegar water
~homemade dip of butter, sour cream, mayo, garlic salt, and lemon pepper
~baked tilapia, crusted with seasoned, whole wheat crumbs
~kale chips, made by baking kale with drizzles of EVOO and sprinkled with sea salt
~blueberries
~herb & butter mashed potatoes

Man, the kids missed out …

On second thought, when I read through the list with the palate of a child, maybe they would be happy they were gone!
