-50/50 Sauce Week, Spaghetti, Creamy Mushroom/Five Cheese Marinara & Crispy Shrimp Fritta

Day 14, Meal 28

My Rating:

My Rating:For my FINAL meal during 50/50 sauce week, as I only had 2 of the 15 choices left available to try, I went with the Creamy Mushroom/Five Cheese Marinara combination, which means sadly Creamy Mushroom /Traditional Meat Sauce didn’t make the cut and is left out :(… I paired this combo with Spaghetti & Crispy Shrimp Fritta: It was ok, not great but I was still happy(ish) with the result as I had no idea what to expect for flavors. I wouldn’t say I loved it but I didn’t hate it either. Not as good as the lunch combination of […]

-50/50 Sauce Week, Angel Hair, Creamy Mushroom/Traditional Marinara & Crispy Chicken Fritta

Day 14, Meal 27

My Rating:

My Rating:For my second to last meal of 50/50 week, I had 3 sauce combinations remaining of the 15 possible: Creamy Mushroom/Traditional Marinara, Creamy Mushroom/Traditional Meat Sauce & Creamy Mushroom/Five Cheese Marinara. As you can tell, I’ve been avoiding mixing the Creamy Mushroom sauce with any of the red combinations. For this meal, I went with the Creamy Mushroom/Traditional Marinara combo paired with Angel Hair (if you have been following, you know this is my LEAST favorite pasta) along with Crispy Chicken Fritta: So surprisingly, I actually LIKED this meal. Not only was it my least favorite pasta going in […]

Day 13, Meal 26

My Rating:

My Rating:For my 26th meal, the kids and I stayed out from our road trip earlier to Sarasota (Sarasota County), and since we were out and about ALL day doing fun family activities, over at the Whitaker Gateway Park and South Florida Museum (gallery at the bottom), we were getting hungry again and headed over to the Bradenton (Manatee County) location. I went with Whole Grain Linguine, Creamy Mushroom/Alfredo & Crispy Shrimp Fritta: This was a very good meal, although I MUCH preferred last night’s option of the 50% of Garlic Asiago Alfredo instead of the 50% of Creamy Mushroom, as everything else […]

-50/50 Sauce Week, Gluten-Free Rotini, Traditional Meat Sauce/Alfredo & Crispy Chicken Fritta

Day 13, Meal 25

My Rating:

My Rating:For today’s meal, the kiddos and I took a trip over to the Sarasota Landings Shopping Plaza (Sarasota County) Olive Garden, and for today’s 50/50, I went with Gluten-Free Rotini, Traditional Meat Sauce/Alfredo & Crispy Chicken Fritta: I have now been to the 3 primary regions of Florida: North Florida, Central Florida & South Florida. Here is the outside of the Sarasota location, which was about 130 miles away: This was a good meal. I would say 7/10. It was one of the few times the pasta was cooked al dente, which for me was fine as I typically cook my […]

Day 12, Meal 24

My Rating:

My Rating:Tonight’s trip was to the GAINESVILLE (Alachua County) location. For my meal, I went with Whole Grain Linguine, Alfredo/Asiago Garlic Alfredo & Crispy Shrimp Fritta: Wow, this meal was AMAZING… Seriously, 11/10. Hands down my favorite so far. And to top it off, everything about this restaurant was incredible. I wish I got some more inside pictures.  It’s super modern and different layout from the normal OG. Check out the outside: We ventured over here after Chloe & Olivia had their Taekwondo class. Here are my girls in a prior photo in their dobok’s  (left) and one taken today (right): Here […]
