Cookies

I've been enjoying baking cookies as of late. Especially cookies that I want to eat such as chocolate chip walnut cookies, oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookies. But my all time favorite cookies to buy are Pepperidge Farm's Apricot Raspberry Verona cookies. They are so delicious it's hard to share one bag with others. Lol.

Pad Baigapoa

Or in English, Spicy Basil Beef.

This was my attempt on making Pad Baigapoa (Spicy Basil Beef). It wasn't so much spicy due to the fact that we didn't have Thai chilies (very expensive where we live and very limited). Since there was lack of Thai chilies, I substituted cayenne pepper and well, there was a hint of heat but not so much as if I had Thai chilies. Oh well. Next time. The dish was still good nonetheless.

Chips

So my new favorite bag of chips are Baked! Lay's Parmesan and Tuscan Herb chips. If you haven't tried them you should go out to your nearest Target, because that's where I bought them and buy a bag or two. Just so you know you can't just eat a handful of these chips, they are so addicting and oh-so-delicious. That's why I recommend buying a second bag. :)

Shrimp Scallop Pasta

Tuesday night husband and I decided not to eat the Chicken Tender leftovers and instead I made Shrimp Scallop Pasta. MmmMM! :) Up until a year ago, I was not very fond of scallops. The only seafood I ate were fish, shrimp and crabs but now I can add scallops to that list.

Baked Chicken Tenders with Thai Fried Rice

Last night I made chicken tenders with (my version of) Thai fried rice. I have a tendency of making food for at least 5 people when it's just me and my husband and our dog Rocky, but he doesn't eat people food with the exception of bananas. So anyway, we have leftovers for the next few days.

La Casita Restaurant

Hubby and I ate lunch at a local Mexican restaurant here in Sierra Vista called La Casita Restaurant before watching a movie at the mall. Once again, I forgot to bring my camera to take pictures. I seriously need to get in the habit of bringing my camera or at least my husband's camera with me when we go out. I would bring my camera with me but it's one of those fancy-professional-type of a camera and I don't want to lug it around with me when I can just bring my husband's handy point-and-shoot camera in my purse. If only I can remember to bring it. Okay, moving on.. the restaurant was nice. I liked it. The food was great. I ordered the "4 Chimis" meal, in other words 4 chimichangas which were 2 beef and 2 chicken. It also came with beans and rice. A very hearty meal for a great price. My husband had the fish tacos meal and that too was good, although it wasn't very fulfilling. Wow, just talking about food is making my mouth water. I haven't eaten my breakfast yet. Lol. Anywho, I definitely want to come back and try some other dishes.

Mi Nidito Restaurant

Last Friday, my husband and I trekked our way to Tucson (we live in a small town an hour away from Tucson) for a matinee movie and lunch at a Mexican restaurant called Mi Nidito. My husband is very picky when it comes to food and there are limited places where he likes to eat and this Mexican restaurant just so happens to be on that list. Mi Nidito is a small but very popular restaurant. There is always a line outside the door to get in. The longest we're ever had to wait was about 45 minutes, but the food is so good, the wait is worth it. There are pictures of President Clinton and then first lady Hillary Clinton at the restaurant as well as the guy from Man vs. Food. I believe they filmed an episode at Mi Nidito last year, however I missed it on tv. I brought my camera with me to take pictures of the food that I ordered, however, I was engrossed by the smell of my food that I forgot about the camera in my purse. Whoops! Next time my husband and I eat there, and I'm sure there will be a next time, I'll take pictures of our food to show you the deliciousness from Mi Nidito. :)
