When I arrived home from work, Ryan and I took Sadie on a walk before he headed out to meet a couple of the guys from his soccer team for happy hour. They have their first game on Sunday and are gearin’ up!
While he headed off for a few hours of team bonding, I popped Sadie in my passenger’s seat and hit up Delish for some frozen yogurt.
I really filled my cup! I initially planned on eating fro yo for dinner, so I ended up with quite the large serving!
My mix included four different kinds of frozen yogurt:
- Red velvet fro yo
- Georgia praline fro yo
- Extra dark chocolate fro yo
- Cheesecake fro yo
Plus loads of toppings!
As I was about to head home, a light bulb went off in my head.
When Ryan and I were walking Sadie early this evening, we were talking about various restaurants when he brought up a delicious meal one of his friends raved about from Pannullo’s, a wonderful Italian restaurant on Park Avenue in Winter Park.
After finishing off my fro yo, I had the idea to call up Pannullo’s to see if I could get the meal to go to have at home as a surprise when he arrived home feelin’ hungry this evening.
Within 15 minutes I had a hot vegetable lasagna roll smelling fantastic in my car.
Along with the lasagna, Pannullo’s also included a small hot loaf of bread, garlic butter and a house salad with the most amazing dressing.
Ryan took a little longer than expected to arrive home, so the bread and salad were gone.
A little birdie must’ve eaten them.
At least the lasagna roll made it and Ryan was one happy boy when he saw what I had waiting. 10 wife points!
I ate about a quarter of the roll and can totally understand why this meal got such rave reviews. The lasagna was doughy and the roll was packed with cheese. Yes!
Our bellies are now sufficiently stuffed and we’re planning on spending the rest of the night catching up on The Office and Jersey Shore on our DVR. There’s nothing I’d rather do than relax tonight. Nights at home suit me juuuust fine.
See ya in the mornin’!

Amy at TheSceneFromMe says
Oh Julie, I’ve done the same thing plenty of times, fro-yo for dinner!
The lasagna roll sounds really good too 🙂
I love nights at home. My husband wants to go see a movie today and we are, but I wanted it to be after lunch and before dinner so I could make some meals at home!
Have a great weekend!

Think it might be time to dust ‘er off! 🙂
Megan@eatmybeets says
Awesome idea surprising the hubby! Whenever my boyfriend comes over, I typically offer him food right away- he’s always hungry. It seems your husband may be the same way.
Alexandrina @ The Cardio Queen says
I love when I see that people around my age are perfectly OK with staying in! Pretty glad I’m not the only one who’d prefer it. And I’m sure you racked up a lot more than 10 wife points! 😀
