Romano's Macaroni Grill (Ramstein, Germany)

 

We were craving a really good Pasta and we have been wanting to go 

to this Italian restaurant,

So we thought Father's day is a perfect day for it.

I heard mix reviews about this place.

But just like everywhere else.

I like to give it a try myself.

We made a reservation and good thing we did because

it was pretty busy.

Pomegranate Martini to start the meal.

It was so refreshing.

Appetizers are stuffed mushroom and truffle fries.

These were so good!

We all ordered different kind of Pastas.

I had a meal with three different kind of pasta.

It was good,

I think had the best dish though.

Overall it was still a good dinner.

I would definitely come back.

Homemade Lasagna

 

I don't think I ever got a chance to share this recipe with you guys, 

But this has got to be one of the best Lasagna I've ever had.

We make it more than I can count.

It's definitely a process but its worth it.

My Non alcoholic drink with Dinner!

Found this in a grocery in France,

So good!

Appetizer ideas for you for Lasagna.

I love them all!

Let me know what you guys think!!

LASAGNA

Ingredients  

• Lasagna noodles
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 3 garlic cloves ( minced )
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1½ cups shredded parmesan cheese(divided)
• 10 ounces frozen spinach thawed
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese(divided)
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups cooked ground beef,  (seasoned with your favorite seasoning)

Directions

• • 
    
    • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 casserole pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. 
    • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. When done, lay the noodles in a single layer on a plate, parchment paper, or wax paper so they can cool and so they won't stick together. 

      
      
    • In a small pot, over medium heat, melt the butter and garlic. Once the butter is melted whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, while stirring constantly. 
      
      
    • Slowly whisk in the milk and stir everything together to combine. Allow the sauce to cook until the sauce thickens. This takes about 4-5 minutes.
      
      
    • garlic powder, and 1 cup of the parmesan cheese. Turn the heat down to low and let the sauce simmer while you prepare the spinach. 
      
      
    • Place the thawed frozen spinach onto a few sheets of paper towels, and squeeze out any excess liquid. Stir the spinach into the sauce and take the pot off the heat. 
      
      
    • In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and egg. 
      
      
      
      Assemble the LASAGNA
      -  Spread 1 cup of the white sauce into the bottom of the casserole pan.- Add 3 sheets of lasagna noodles on top of the white sauce.- Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over top the noodles.-Layer 1/3 of the cooked ground beef over top the ricotta cheese.-Spread 1 cup of white sauce over the chicken.-Repeat those steps 2 more times. On the last layer, top the ground beef mixture with the remaining lasagna noodles and spread the remaining sauce over the top-Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese over top the final white sauce layer.-Bake for 45 minutes. When done, turn the oven to broil and broil the lasagna for 1-2 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

L'Osteria (Kaiserslautern, Germany)

 

I'm always on a hunt for an amazing

Authentic Italian Pizza.

My friend mentioned about this restaurant

So went to meet up for Dinner!!

The vibes was amazing

I love it!!

It was really hot and probably one of things I don't like living in

Europe is very handful,

But not having AC tops it all off.

So.. 

We seated outside.

Hoping we get lucky and get a breezy time.

Started off with some Negroni.

Cheers!!

We took our time ordering

The food came so quickly.

I was so surprised how big was this Pizza.

And the crust?!

YESS!!!

Perfection!

I ordered some Seafood Pasta.

Hubby shared his Pizza so I got to try!

IT was Legit!

SO good!

Of course,

There's playground!

Definitely one of my favorites of being here.

We ordered Dessert while the Boys play.

This Spaghetti Ice cream didn't taste like Gelato,

But it was still good.

Of course gotta have some Tiramisu!

It was a nice dinner with Friends.

Definitely coming back!!

Homemade talian Dinner

Birthday weekend continues at home.

Homemade dinner made by hubby. 

Having a Birthday during the week kind of sucks

Because I can't celebrate with my boys 

So it has to continue on the weekend.

Started off with amazing Limoncello Spritz.

RECIPE HERE

For Appetizer is this amazing 

Melon Mozzarella Prosciutto Salad

Isn't it too pretty to eat?!!?

So easy to make 

You just need a Melon Baller, drizzled with Olive oil!

I swear this combo is just perfection!

We had Shrimp Rolls for Appetizer and a Side of Caesar Salad.

So good!

Hubby made my favorite Seafood Pasta.

I seem to be eating this every year for my Birthday.

We go to Italian Restaurant for the past few years,

This year though I wanted to change it up.

..And I know that my hubby makes a bomb version of it.

SO much better!!!

What an amazing Dinner.

Happy wifey here.

Happy weekend!!

Carrabba's Italian Grill

 

It has been such a great month celebrating my Birthday!

But the month won't be complete without an Italian food.

Last year was amazing.

We went to Bella's Italian Restaurant

It was great I would definitely wanna go back,

This year I wanted to try somewhere else

Eating pretty much the same thing.

My favorites!

I'll never get tired of it!

This year we went to Carrabba's!

Our first time!

It was great!!!

Started off with some Prosecco and Bread.

Appetizer was Calamari of course

Then side Salad before the main dish.

It was all great!

Hubby had some Chicken and he loved it.

The sauce was bomb!

Of course I had my favorite Seafood Pasta!

It was amazing!

Of course had some Tiramisu for Dessert!

It's a hard decision if I have to pick which restaurant is better...

But I definitely recommend both!

What an amazing day!!!

Birthday Dinner(Italian Food)

I'm 33!!

Crazy to say that!

This year's Birthday was pretty chill.

I decided to do something different since it's on a Monday 

and the Boys are at School.

I'm so glad hubby took a leave so he can be with me all day!

We went out for Lunch!

I really wanted some Authentic Italian food,

So even though we had to drive we did it.

..And we finally found a good legit Italian Food!!!

We went to Lee's Summit about 45 minutes away from our house

which was not bad!

There is a bunch of Italian Restaurant to choose from for sure but I decided I wanted

to try this one first!

Started off with some Italian Beer and Moscato!

For Appetizer we had some Calamari and they gave us Side Salad.

It was so good!

I really miss the Seafood Pasta so thats what I picked!

Oh my god, The sauce!

Everything.

IT WAS AMAZING!

Hubby had some Chicken and Shrimp Piccata.

Very interesting.

I never had it before and it was actually good.

So Impressed that hubby tried something different, new!

Over all..

The Lunch was so amazing.

The vibes was so good.

It did felt like I was in Italy for a few hours.

Of course Tiramisu!

After that we waited for the Boys and celebrated with some more Wine and Cake!

What a great day!
