-Dessert Week, Rigatoni, Five Cheese Marinara & Crispy Shrimp Fritta [Refill] + Cookie Butter Cake [Half]

Day 16, Meal 31

My Rating:

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 […]

-Dessert Week, Cavatappi, Five Cheese Marinara & Crispy Chicken Fritta [Refill] + Pumpkin Cheesecake [Half]

Day 15, Meal 30

My Rating:

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 […]

-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 […]

Day 11, Meal 22

My Rating:

My Rating:For tonight’s Olive Garden visit, I ventured over to Port Richey, FL in Pasco County, which is the 7th County I’ve been to since last week. My 2 girls Chloe & Olivia were excited to take a drive (they love going in the car).  I did some calculations earlier today to figure out remaining sauce options, and here is the break down of what I have left: Alfredo/Asiago Garlic Alfredo Creamy Mushroom /Alfredo Creamy Mushroom /Five Cheese Marinara Creamy Mushroom /Traditional Marinara Creamy Mushroom /Traditional Meat Sauce Five Cheese Marinara/Traditional Marinara  Traditional Marinara/Traditional Meat Sauce Traditional Meat Sauce/Alfredo …and what I’ve […]

-50/50 Sauce Week, Fettuccine, Alfredo/Five Cheese Marinara & Grilled Chicken

Day 10, Meal 20

My Rating:

My Rating:For tonight’s dinner, I ventured over to Lake County, FL, as I decided I am going to try to visit 16 Olive Garden locations across my region (averaging a goal of 2 per week). So far I have been to locations in the following Counties across Central Florida: Citrus, Hillsborough, Lake, Marion, Orange, & Sumter. For tonight’s 50/50 split, I mixed in Five Cheese Marinara to one of my all time favorite and most ordered dishes over the years, Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken: Sadly, I did not love this sauce mixture with this meal, as the Five Cheese Marinara really […]
