“How Often Do You Dine Out?”

The ReadyWriter

When I was listening to the news yesterday morning, they reported that fewer people are eating out in this weak economy and choosing instead to eat at home. The survey conducted said, “Americans are choosing to eat out on special occasions only – and chosing to cook in at home”.

Well that could be no further from the truth, with regards to myself at least. I eat out maybe 3-4 times a week however, I can cook…and when temperatures plummeted as they did this past weekend, you can find me in my cozy little hideaway (on a Sunday especially) cooking a meal.

Check out the dish I made above, pasta in an alfredo sauce, with sautéed broccoli, lots of garlic and spinach in EVOO, topped with jumbo shrimp.

What do you prefer, eating out or cooking at home?
