Pad Patter: 11/7: Eating Out

we eat out maaaaybe once a week but usually not that often. sigh, all i can say is i miss Rudy's.
 
We eat out at least once a week. It could be anything from BK to Sonic or Chilis. There's not a big selection and I'm not one for wanting to wait more than 15 minutes for a table.
 
We eat out too much really. Usually Friday or Saturday nights we will go to a sit down restaurant and maybe 2 to 3 times fast food a week. Sometimes we just make fast stuff at home too since we had soccer practices twice a week the past couple of months. My husband and daughter are so picky that cooking for them can be miserable and we also have to make sure we have meat defrosted etc. My husband insists upon approving meal choices if I am cooking even if he was with me at the store to pick out the stuff. It is maddening.
 
Maybe one to two times a month we will order pizza, get italian takeout or go to a family-friendly sit down restaurant. Both my husband and I love to cook together and try new things, which helps us not go out often.
 
We rarely eat out. I'd say two or three times a month when we're swamped we'll order out from our fav Mexican place in town or Husband will grab a pizza on his way home from work. When I have time, I really love to cook. :) I just hate grocery shopping! lol.
 
we go twice a week usually. Friday's and Sunday afternoons. The kids LOVE Applebees, but I hate taking them there LOL! We like to go to Steak and Shake on Sundays cause the kids eat free YAY! And Pizza Hut is a hit around here cause the boys love a good salad bar hahaha! Culvers is mine and Garret's favorite place to stop. The owner of ours is such a nice guy and it's always so clean and fresh. :)
 
I used to eat out or order in at least 3 or 4 times a week. I hated cooking!
But in January I learned that I have several food allergies and sensitivities which pretty much rule out anything on any menu. They can put a man on the moon but apparently they can't make french fries without gluten or a hamburger patty without soy in it. Go figure.

There is one place here I love - they are very open about their allergy information and there is one meal I can eat (plain chicken and a plain baked potato lol!) plus they have a giant salad bar. But my boyfriend gets tired of eating at the same place over and over and over . . .and over . .. :giggle
 
ugg michelle, allergies and eating issues = big bummer.

crystal, we JUST discovered culvers about a month ago. so good! a bit expensive for fast food-ish stuff, but still very tasty.
 
I don't really cook much. I love to cook, but I don't like to cook for myself. So too many of my meals are out or takeout. My favorite places are the pizzeria around the corner, a Mexican place called Blue Moon, a Greek restaurant and any of several Cuban places around here!
 
we eat out way too much. with work, after school activities, girl scouts, swimming lessons, and everything else- it seems like we are always running. we have tried to cut back to 1x per week and we make an effort at it sometimes, but when we aren't trying it can easily be 2-3 x per week - which gets really expensive.
 
we never go out to eat, it's just not our thing.
also, in Norway it's not very common going out to eat every week :)
 
I love eating out but my hubby doesn't. Mainly because he eat business lunches off and on, so when it is time for dinner, he prefers home cooked. I'd say we eat out once a week, somewhere decent but kid friendly, ie. red robin, or take out, or pizza.
