A place you might want to check out if you haven't already discovered it: copykat recipes. They have some pretty good recipes from all different restaurants. Enjoy!anja3582http://www.blogger.com/profile/09537901132115428269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697121876852690118.post-87839936186170012492008-03-05T01:29:00.000-05:002008-03-05T01:29:00.000-05:00I'm looking forward to these posts. You're right about making the meals at home, our fajitas taste much better than the restaurant ones.

I'm not sure that you could do a whole series on that, since there aren't too many ways to do that less expesively. LOL However, we have often found that we can eat at some of our favorite restaurants by ordering the meals to go. In doing so, we're not buying drinks (which are VERY expensive) and we can order kids' portions or share a meal. This is usually much less expensive and still plenty of food.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the series!Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15948350029651674295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697121876852690118.post-92230361207658229752008-03-04T13:18:00.000-05:002008-03-04T13:18:00.000-05:00oooooooooooh I can't wait<BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697121876852690118.post-37093825179526493962008-03-04T09:26:00.000-05:002008-03-04T09:26:00.000-05:00This looks like a great topic! I can't wait to read more. <BR/><BR/>If you've ever had Max and Erma's tortilla soup, it's delicious and expensive, but there are TONS of recipes out there that work to recreate it. It might fit in well with one of your Mexican nights. :)Karawww.theluckywife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697121876852690118.post-73249272966657071412008-03-03T22:02:00.000-05:002008-03-03T22:02:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting my blog for MPM today.

I just planned on buying a jar of sweet and sour sauce, maybe from President's choice and stir frying that with some veggies and pouring it over top of the noodles.Multi-tasking Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02379488091050026867noreply@blogger.com
