What are Mom and Dad eating this week?

Chili

Last night mom made chili that was too hot. Dad even said, "This is plenty warm" I was mad because this whole pot of chili was not going to be edible. Then I remembered that at PF Chang they told me that white vinegar nutalizes hot stuff. I put some in my chili and "Wah lah" it worked.

Carabba's Chicken Bryan

Hey family.  I know you all are busy, but I thought this would be a good way to share our menus for week, and fun new recipes that we have found.  I'll start it because I like blogging and because Nick said it is left to the girls to get this organized so instead of us trying to decide who is going to do it, I'll start it.  If anyone has a better idea, then by all means let me know, but I think blogging is a good way to go. 


Our menu for this week is:
Homemade pizza
crandall's enchiladas
swedish meatballs
pancakes (this is a weekly occurance when Nick works night.)
bruschetta (Nick created this and it was mighty tasty.  I think it probably tasted as good as the stuff on Julie and Julia.)
tomato and tortellini soup (thanks Susan)
chef salad



So we are fans of Carrabas here in Texas, and this is the dish that I always get.  I wanted to try and find a recipe that was similar because it is a pretty penny to go out.  I found this.  I haven't tried it yet, but I intend to.
