Pasta Pomodoro

I ate Pasta Pomodoro, which is fresh garlic sautéed in butter, white wine and olive oil with fresh basil and Roma tomatoes. It was served with a yummy bread stick. If you have a chance to visit Teddy’s Spaghetti, do it!

Pecan Crusted Chicken

We ordered a stack of Tater Tots with a Sriracha Sauce on the side to protect Morgan’s delicate palate. I ate Pecan Crusted Chicken Breasts with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. It was amazing. And, I washed it down with a Red Rum Sangria. Overall, a good day spent with the family.

Rosemary Cream Chicken

I fully enjoyed my Rosemary Cream Chicken, which was sautéed slices of chicken in a rosemary cream sauce accented with mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes served on fettuccine. It was simply amazing.

Date Night Dinner

Jennifer and I went to Logan’s Roadhouse, and I ordered their seasonal special, a Double Bacon Sirloin with a Vegetable Skewer. My steak reminded me more of a filet because it was so think, and the Bourbon Bacon Glaze gave it just the right touch of sweet and spicy. However, by far the star of the show was the Skewer of Thick, Blackened Brown Sugar Bacon. I was in HEAVEN! I thought about getting the Bacon On a Stick appetizer, but I decided against it because of the bacon on my steak. I would not have appreciated the steak if I had the appetizer. In fact, I may not have wanted to even eat it.

Roasted Mushroom Reuben

After work, I stopped by Twenty Tap with some colleagues to help solve the world’s problems. I fully enjoyed my Roasted Mushroom Rueben Sandwich and Fries. The Portabellas was just what I was looking for.

Hongos Tacos with Street Corn

I ate Hongos Tacos, which were made of balsamic grilled mushrooms, black bean purée, chihuahua cheese, poblano rice, pico de gallo and guacamole. I paired them with Grilled Street Corn and some amazing Sweet Chili-Glazed Cracked Potatoes. Finally, I washed it down with a couple Margaritas on the rocks.

Steak in Chicago

I ate an amazing Ribeye with Fire-Grilled Corn on the Cob. It was so nice to eat something with a knife and fork. I’m so stuffed is that I feel like a tick. I’m sure I’ll sleep well tonight! Sweet dreams!

Fried Chicken Snack

We left Utah today and headed toward South Dakota to see the Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore. We made one stop during today’s trip. It was a travel stop that had a Subway and Chesters Chicken. I ordered a Three Piece Chicken Snack with a side of Fried Corn and a Honey Biscuit. It was a well-timed and tasty break!

Banzai Burger

We went to grab dinner at Red Robin tonight. I wanted to try their new Porkiyaki Burger, but after I ordered it, the server told me they were out. So, I tried their Banzai Burger and Bottomless Fries. The burger was OK, but I must’ve gotten the bottom of the fries because they weren’t very good. I decided to wash it down with a Blue Moon, but the server returned to say they were out of that, too. Then, he rattled off a bunch of other beers they were out of. So, I stuck with my water. Overall a unsatisfying meal.
