Lasagna House III | Houston, Texas

July 31, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

For lunch, Saturday, Mum, June, and I went to the:

Lasagna House III | Houston, Texas

Lasagna House III
13306 Westheimer Road,
Houston, TX
(281) 496-9114

Lasagna House III | Houston, Texas | Garlic Bread

You get free Garlic Bread. Pretty much all you can eat.

Lasagna House III | Houston, Texas | Salad

The same goes for the Salad. They even let you pick your own choice of dressing.

Lasagna House III | Houston, Texas | Stuffed Jalapenos

Stuffed Jalapenos [jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese, lightly breaded and deep fried] | $5.99

These were 100% better than the ones we got from Red Oak Grill. Their marinara sauce that came with it was divine. I dipped some garlic bread in it. Yum!

Lasagna House III | Houston, Texas | Cannelloni Meat

Cannelloni Meat [large pasta tubes stuffed with meat, topped with Pomodoro Sauce and shredded mozzarella and baked] | $10.99

They went heavy on the cheese which I ended up ripping off and giving to Mum. Even with the missing layer of cheese, the layer of chopped up meat makes the dish. They gave so much that I had a lot of leftovers.

 

Whole Foods Loot

After lunch, we went to the new Whole Foods at Montrose. We all felt like a kid in a candy shop and bought a lot of unnecessary goodies.

I channeled my inner child and watched Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure. She goes to New York to audition for Broadway and ends up finding out the part was for her dog, Boy. I will admit that even though her voice is all squeaky and such, the movie itself was very sweet and I ended up liking it more than I thought I would.

Hope you guys had a great weekend!!

Little Napoli Italian Cuisine | Houston, Texas

Last night I met up with Amanda to celebrate my super belated birthday. So after work I went home to do my usual home things, I headed into traffic.

Little Napoli Italian Cuisine | Houston, Texas | Garlic Bread

They had Garlic Bread | free. Amanda already had some because of my tardiness.

I wasn’t a big fan of the bread. It was burnt on the other side and a little on the chewy, hard side.

Amanda said she liked it but I think she was just hungry waiting for me.

Little Napoli Italian Cuisine | Houston, Texas | Salad

Our meal came with a very simple Salad. Always need to get my veggies in. I just wished they gave us more onions.

Little Napoli Italian Cuisine | Houston, Texas | Beef Cannelloni

Beef Cannelloni [rolled pasta sheets stuffed with a mixture of ground beef and vegetables and topped with Marinara Sauce & Mozzarella Cheese then baked in the oven] | $9.99.

I’ve never had this before because I usually stick to what I know but we all gotta live so I took the chance. When they first served it I was thinking … what did I order?! But when I took my first bite … OH MY GOODNESS! It was so good! I want to recreate this at home!

Little Napoli Italian Cuisine | Houston, Texas | Chocolate Mousse

Amanda wanted me to pick the dessert but since she’s a sweets lover unlike me, I let her chose and ended up with the Chocolate Mousse | $9.99.

It was soooo good!! The icing was very chocolatey, almost dark chocolate like. For a non-sweets fan myself, I ate my fair share.

Little Napoli Italian Cuisine | Houston, Texas | Amanda & Chocolate Mousse

Amanda

This is the first time putting up a picture of someone other than me so hopefully, she doesn’t get angry when she finds her face plastered on here. But meet Amanda. Isn’t she cute?! She was a sweetheart and paid for my meal. Thanks, girlie!

Anyway, we talked a lot. We were there for over 2 hours even after we were done eating. We caught up with what has been going on with one another since May and what we see coming up this year. We are looking forward to a fun, fun year. Here’s to hoping!!

I had a really good time with her and am so happy I got to see her and catch up.

Lorenzo’s Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas

On February 23rd, Mercedes’ needed filming assistance for one of her class and afterward we decided to go to dinner at Lorenzo’s Italian Restaurant.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas |Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread | free

They kept refilling our garlic bread which was super fluffy and garlicky with a good crunch – first garlic bread I love. It was still good the next day!

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Salad

Italian Salad | comes with main dish

Their salads seem to be very fresh. Or maybe I was just very hungry.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder | $3.99

They give you a good portion of clams and it was super creamy. It was one of the best chowders I’ve had forever.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatball

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with Meatball | ~$7

There was a lot of pasta and the meatball is the same as the meat in the sauce but since I had plenty of leftovers, I was fine with it.

The garlic bread is enough for me to come back.

Maggiano’s | San Antonio, Texas

Maggiano's | San Antonio, Texas

Amanda and I did another catch up session on February 9th at Maggiano’s. This is my go to pasta place at the moment and also where my pasta obsession came from.

Maggiano's | San Antonio, Texas | Bread

Bread [with oil and herbs] | free

I’m not a big fan since it was a little on the hard side and the dip didn’t give it much flavour as I hoped. More herbs less oil please. This bread did not win me over.

Maggiano's | San Antonio, Texas | Baked Ziti

Baked Ziti | $12.95

This was so good I finished it all! It would definitely be better if they added a little bit more sauce on top so that when it’s baked, it wouldn’t turn out so dry on top.

Maggiano's | San Antonio, Texas | Spaghetti & Meatballs

Spaghetti & Meatballs | Free With Main Meal

They have a deal where when you order from the Classic Pasta section you can take home another to take home. They stuff the little containers with so much pasta! And the meatball was gigantic!! I was able to make two meals out of it which means with tip, I only paid about eighteen dollars for three meals. What a steal!

Maggiano's | San Antonio, Texas | Heating Instructions

They even have instructions on how to reheat the food which is really thoughtful.

46th St. Pizzeria | San Antonio, Texas

February 23, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

On January 28th Eric and I went to 46th Street Pizzeria to catch up.

46th St. Pizzeria| San Antonio, Texas | Spaghetti with Meatballs

Spaghetti with Meatballs [Dinner plate] | $7.25

We both ordered the same thing. The picture doesn’t show just how much we were given since the dish sinks down.

46th St. Pizzeria| San Antonio, Texas | Bread

Bread | free

I dipped my bread into my spaghetti sauce since there is also way more sauce than it looks. The bread was a little on the hard side but I think that’s how it’s supposed to be.

I would go here again since the price is pretty good for college students. They also have cannolis which are on my list of things to try – next time.
