Yesterday we talked about how cooking at home is such a budget stretcher compared to dining out, even when using some convenience foods or premium ingredients.
Most of the time, our meals are just ordinary. Tonight we had tuna-noodle casserole with fresh blackberries and figs from our property. Nothing fancy, and certainly nothing that you would likely find on a restaurant menu. However, sometimes one of us gets the notion to recreate a restaurant favorite.

Since I'm asking what your favorite restaurant re-creation has been, I'll tell you my recent favorite. This was in early summer. I already blogged about it. My daughters found a tortilla bowl maker at a garage sale in spring and later treated us to tostado salad bowls in homemade flour tortilla bowls, like a Taco Time taco salad bowl.

Taco Time is a "better" taco place near us. Their prices reflect that. They sell beef tostado bowls for $8.19 each.
Our version was really very good.
How about you? What's been your favorite restaurant re-creation?
