First let me introduce ourselves: Gabe, Mili, and Carlan. We eat out two to three times a week and have, in the past four months, started eating better. Wait. By eating better I mean eating healthier which is not always "better" tasting; nor is at as bad as some imagine. Mili has lost 20lbs. and I have lost 10lbs. And trust me we are not starving ourselves. During the week we make healthy choices when eating snacks and our three meals. Carlan on the other hand is hopefully gaining weight(she's only 16 months), but she is not allowed to eat junk either. On the weekends we are allowed to eat what we want, candy, pizza, burgers, junk, etc. Not that we just gorge ourselves with buffet after buffet on weekends but we don't sweat an extra fry or doughnut. Especially if it is the name of food exploration. We definitely look forward to the weekends even more now.
We love to try new places and recipes, constantly keeping our eyes open for places we hear about, read about, and see about. Seattle Magazine, Seattle Weekly, the Stranger are all tools we rely on heavily. The three of us put our heads together recently and thought we would be a little more productive with our eating and eating out. We want to legitimize the amount of money we spend on food. We want to feel like our money is being put to good work! Hence the blog. Most of the time we are on a budget, have a toddler, and are critical of what we eat. Now this includes our own cooking too!
So enjoy and feel free to let us know your thoughts(good and bad!)
