My Rating:Tonight, we had a family dinner at our local Olive Garden in Inverness, FL, including my girls Chloe & Olivia, my Mom & Dad, and two of my Aunt’s who flew in to visit. I think I’ve been out to eat with my mom only a handful of times in my life, so it was a VERY special occasion for her to come out with us. It was her first time ever visiting an Olive Garden, and same for one of my Aunt’s. It was nice that my wife Samantha was our server as well, which made the experience for […]
My Rating:For dinner tonight, I’m back in my hometown location in Inverness, FL, and the wife and kiddos are joining me! I modified my previous meal from Day 8, Meal 16 which consisted of Cavatappi, Alfredo/Traditional Marinara & Meatball/Italian Sausage. I took away the Traditional Marinara and Meatball and this was the result in a refill portion: Delicious. I really like the Cavatappi pasta in general, and while I wasn’t quite sure how the Alfredo work pair with this combination, I thoroughly liked it. The ONLY downside was the Italian Sausage definitely took over the meal and the delicious Alfredo was less pronounced […]
My Rating:Tonight I had a refill potion of Cavatappi, Alfredo & Crispy Chicken Fritta, which was modified from Day 7, Meal 13 which had Asiago Garlic Alfredo instead: They definitely gave a good portion of chicken (probably a tad more than I needed!) but the downside was I felt like I needed a little more sauce and was on the verge of rating this a 7/10. Inside I was trying to tell myself that they didn’t give me enough sauce so I could justify getting some more, but I asked for more anyways, despite another 330 calories being tacked on! […]
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 […]
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 […]
