26 healthy soups and Monday link party for January

I am really sorry about last week and the no show for the party. We were all very sick and I remember about the party at 2 am on Sunday and was very sick. It's very hard to take care of a sick family when you are sick. I apologize. I'll blog tomorrow about our Chaotic Christmas.

 I am really grateful for your posts and visits every week. I wish you a wonderful 2015 year of health, success and fun blogging.

Los cucos Mexican cafe : It's a date!

Hubby is a big fan of Mexican food. I love it too but I have to say it always tastes the same to me. But not to Los Cucos in Sandy. This is really, amazing delicious Mexican food. The best I had so far. Russ had the fried avocado and I had the fish tacos. The restaurant looks good inside too. The server was very classy  and proper. Hubby and I go on lots of date but I don't always blog about it. Only if the place was really good. 

Do you like Mexican food?

Fried avocado

Chinese new year date at Ho Ho Gourmet restaurant

Hubby was craving authentic Chinese cuisine and that sounded so good to me too! I love sweet pork buns a lot so much that I crave them and salivate just thinking about it. Russ wanted potstickers and got shrimp ones. OH so GOOD! We also got their orange chicken dish and it was the best I ever had so far. The restaurant is not grand inside but the food is excellent at the Ho Ho Gourmet restaurant in Salt lake city.
Do you like authentic chinese food? Have you tried?

All you can eat fiasco

 I had the fabulous idea to go for dinner to an all you can eat buffet restaurant. So we could eat things that i don't have the time to cook. Well, the kids got fries, macaroni and cheese, hot coco, soda, ice cream. 

It's very interesting and scary to see what kids will pick to eat on their own.

I think i have the only kid who will go get fries and comes back with a hand full of them. I made him get a plate.

Not to worry Soso was busy eating my purse and bread pudding!

The kids were so high on sugar that Fairy started making fun of a bold guy across the room. It was getting out of control and i ran out the door before i got kicked out of Chuck-a-rama!

Hope you get my humor, you surely need a lot of humor when you are a Mom!
