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 today’s lunch, I visited county # 12 on the 8 Weeks of Pasta journey, over in Kissimmee, FL (Osceola County) as I was in the area today. I went with a refill portion of Fettuccine, Asiago Garlic Alfredo & Crispy Shrimp Fritta, which was modified from Day 9, Meal 17 which I rated 8/10, except that was a 50/50 sauce with Creamy Mushroom as well. Let’s see how this compares: Wow, this was fantastic. I am surprised I haven’t had this yet, as I am pretty sure this meal consists of my favorites in each of the Pasta/Sauce/Topping […]
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:Today’s lunch meal is a modification from an earlier 10/10 rated meal which was Rigatoni, Five Cheese Marinara & Crispy Chicken Fritta. For this meal, I swapped out the protein for Crispy Shrimp Fritta: Wow, so good. Definitely another 10/10. I actually think I liked this more than when it had Crispy Chicken Fritta. Everything about it was perfect. And with it being a refill portion, it wasn’t even many calories at all! What you see above is only 465 calories! I obviously had to add a breadstick and some cheese though 🙂 ….. and lets not forget why […]
My Rating:For the second meal of Dessert Week, I’m going with Cavatappi, Five Cheese Marinara & Crispy Chicken Fritta: While this was good, it was not as good as the prior 10/10 rated meal from Day 2, Meal 3 which had Crispy Shrimp Fritta instead of Crispy Chicken Fritta. I would rate this meal an 8/10. I actually expected this meal to be closer to a 9 but unfortunately I wasn’t blown away. And lets not forget about the half portion below of Pumpkin Cheesecake I saved from my lunch today: Leftover, the dessert comes slightly down from a 10 […]
