Ramen

 You looking for a recipe that tastes like take-out food but isn't? A relatively easy weeknight meal? Something that even kiddos enjoy? (ok let's be honest, macaroni will always be their favorite) If yes, then you should check out this "elevated" Mushroom Ramen Recipe. Not sure why, but I was tired of meat this week, so some vegetarian recipes made it into the weekly meal planning. 

And on a separate, but related note, new Houston restaurant alert! We haven't eaten at a restaurant since March, but we've still managed to have some pretty nice meals at home thanks to the fine dining take-out revolution that is a product of 2020. Here's my [personal] take-out ranking thus far:

1. Theodore Rex

2. Uchi

3. Kata Robata

4. Rosie Cannonball (pic below)

5. Roost

More sampling needed! I'll update the list if we find some other good places :)

The little ones are expanding their horizons with restaurants we wouldn't normally take the "under 6 crowd". haha :) At home, we usually eat in the dining room and call it a "fancy" meal where we have to be on best behavior. The girls like to set the table and assign seats.
