Breakfast in Washington Square

-
My sister Tanya had come home for Christmas for about a week with her boyfriend. They wanted to take everyone out to breakfast one morning to their favorite place for breakfast in San Francisco called Mama's.
It's this quaint little breakfast and lunch place that has a good reputation and even better food. The only thing is, is that it is in a small area, and because it is well known there is almost always a line outside.
They took us out Christmas Eve morning, and even then there was a line. It was probably an hours wait depending on the size of the party and if they decide to just chill in their seats and chat for a while. So mom and I decided to do some exploring.
I'll admit that living close to San Francisco doesn't mean I go there in all of my free time, which is slightly disappointing because it is so big and there is so much to see, but that means every time I go to visit is special.
Mama's is in or near Washington Square, and close to that is Coit Tower, which I believe they said was about a 10 minute walk up hill or we could have hopped on the bus that was driving around, but we could see it from where we were, and I was happy with that.
We only walked a couple blocks, but it was nice to see the scenery, the architecture of the houses, and the view.
Then the food. By the time mom and I got back they were almost to the front of the line, so we made it just in time. The food was just Mmmm. Delicious. Although I do believe that mine was a little healthier then Tanya's. I think it was safe to say that we were going to try out their french toast (or at least mom and I were). Mom had the sampler french toast which had three different types of french toast. I had the banana nut french toast, and Tanya had the Chocolate Cinnamon french toast. I think the guys had some type of eggs, that's how you know I was paying attention right. The french toast was more on my mind and looking around Mama's and seeing all of the things they had hanging on the walls. Okay, I'll admit it, the wait was totally worth it for that oh so filling breakfast.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
