I'm the kind of person that hates wasting food, and money. Dining out is a HUGE waste of money so I'm always trying different dishes. All the foods that I like to eat out - I recreate/cook at home - I get better quality food, better tasting food, better portions and I get better at cooking. Beef Enchiladas, Guacamole Dip, Beef Chili, Tostadas, Tacos, Macaroni & Cheese, Shepherd's Pie, Cold Salads, (Puerto Rican) Rice w/ red beans and stewed beef, Chicken Tikka Masala w/ Basmati rice Tacos (Jack in the Box style): It took a long time to perfect the frying, and assembly, but after a lot of trial and error, a few burn marks, and a dash of personalized flavors - I'm a pro! Garlic Nan (bread). But I'm not giving up.
