Juicy Grilled Ribs

Isn't this good or what? While watching Food Network Channel, boy oh boy ... I was hungry. When I checked the fridge, I found a baby-back ribs. I was so delighted because I can eat a big meal. We have an outdoor grill and we used it a lot. This time, I used the indoor grill besides, I only prep for 1 pound of baby back ribs.

I don't know how you prepare your ribs but mine, I usually brine the meat. 1 hour is fine but, an overnight will tastes better. It will be juicy, tasty and tender. I love using meat that has a little fats on it. With spices, the more ... the merrier! I always love well-done so, the photo below is mine and the first photo is hubby's share.

I am a fan of homemade mashed potato now so; the potato above is alright. I really don't care because I was hungry. We always have vegetables in every plate so, the green beans are just perfect on this plate. Let's chow friends. After devouring this food, I resumed watching TV LOL. Anyway, what's your favorite home cook food?

PIzza Hut Order

There are days that hubby and I loves to eat pizza so; to give in to that craving, we bought the $10 Dinner Box Pizza from Pizza Hut. I am not a big fan of pizza but, on this box, the Cinnamon Sticks are my favorite. I can't use the icing though, this is too sweet already.

With the pizza, I can eat two pieces and I am not a fan of their breadsticks either.

Anyway, what's your favorite order in pizza hut?

Pizza Hut's Dinner Box

How's your Friday? I bet you are excited for the weekend? Any plans? As for me, the day goes by so fast but, I accomplished a lot today. Well, not online though for it's been few days that I am off from blogging. Yes, I was busy today that is why; hubby and I decided to just order a pizza from Pizza Hut for dinner.

This is Dinner Box which has medium rectangular 1-topping pizza, 5 breadsticks with marinara dipping sauce, and 10 cinnamon sticks with icing.

I love the cinnamon sticks and my least favorite is the breadsticks. How about you? What did you prepare for dinner?

Olive Garden at Colonial Drive

Do you like Italian food? I love to dine in the Italian Restaurant. The pasta is so good. Okay regarding the photo below, I meant to say Colonial Drive not S Semoran Blvd, my bad. When my husband and I heads home from Orlando, we decided to have dinner at Olive Garden in :

11882 E Colonial Drive
Orlando, FL 32826
(407) 381-8084

It was our first in this location. The server was very courteous and knows the menu very well. I ordered a limonata, a Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and Braised Beef and Tortelloni. I was already halfway with my soup when I called the server regarding my limonata.

She apologized for the delay, she forgot. Anyway, I had a great meal and I enjoyed the tender sliced short ribs and portobello mushrooms in my plate. The asiago-filled tortelloni in a basil-marsala sauce tastes good and I was full quick that I need to take out half of my Braised Beef and Tortelloni.

The server is pleasant and nice, from time to time she checked on us. Our dining experience is good and whether I will visit this location again? Absolutely!

Dinner at Buffet Village

We usually go for lunch at Village Buffet in Titusville. The price is very affordable at $7.99 per person and their food is delicious. This building was the old Whistle Junction Buffet and Grill restaurant but, they close down last year. I think the community is happy that Village Buffet took over this building early this year. They have regulars and always full every time we pass by this area. We consider ourselves as regulars since we dine in here at least once a week.

On this particular day, we had dinner and it was our second time. Their dinner has additional menus such as the crawfish, more seafood's, raw oysters and these yummy clams, my favorite. When I crave for clams, sushi and crawfish, this is the only place that can fill me up. The price for dinner is $11.99 but, it is worth it. They have baby back ribs, pasta, pizza, salad bar, sushi bar and if the diners want hot food, they can select the ingredients and the cook will be happy to cook it for them. It is advisable to give tip to the cook.

The raw clams in Publix are .50 cents each and a dozen of sushi is about $7.99 a pack so for me, the dinner price in the buffet is worth it. No cooking and I can eat as much as I can. When we miss the Buffet in HardRock and Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi, the food in Buffet Village is good enough for us. How about you? Do you like Chinese Buffet? Do you like clams?

BoneFish Grill on Merritt Island Florida

It was Friday before heading to the movie theater to watch the Oz, hubby and I wanted to dine at Bonefish Grill located in 795 E Merritt Island Causeway Merritt Island, FL 32952. We were amazed to see that the great restaurant was crowded and there was a 25 minutes queue. The movie will start in less than 40 minutes so, we decided to come back by Tuesday.

Why Tuesday? It was hubby's birthday and he doesn't want me to tell the server that it was his special day, avoiding the birthday greetings of the resto (wink). Anyway, we choose to sit nearby the bar. I ordered the  Singapore Calamari for I was not too hungry that day. The calamari was good and I like the red and green peppers in it and the sauce is Asian spicy.

Hubby ordered the Rainbow Trout with lemon butter sauce. The photo below is the Bonefish bread with olive oil dip.

Our dining experience was great for we have a knowledgeable server, food was served hot and the ambiance was excellent. We spent $42 for dinner, all inclusive with tip and tax. We plan to visit again on a Friday.

This Singapore Calamari serving is good for 2.

If you happen to be in Merritt Island and looking for a place to dine in, I highly recommend Bonefish Grill. I suggest that you order the Grilled Fish and choose the warm mango salsa sauce.

The Bonefish Grill is near the mall so; if you are shopping and wanted to have a fine dining, check out Bonefish Grill. You will surely enjoy your food and the ambiance of the place. Thanks for stopping by. Please check my latest post today.

Delicious Dinner in Olive Garden at the Millenia Mall

The other day, we went to Orlando to dine at Cheesecake Factory. When we were in the Mall of Millenia area, we had circled countless times and we never found the building of Cheesecake Factory. Since we were so famished, we decided to dine instead at Olive Garden. Well, that's not hard to do because I was all set for my Chicken and Gnocchi soup and bread sticks. This is what I ordered and since I love fettuccine pasta in a cream sauce, I truly enjoyed my plate. I can't believe that I devour this big portion of delicious pollo and pasta. This plate of food simply satisfies my palate and the taste is simply heaven.

When hubby asked the receptionist about the location of Cheesecake Factory, he was told that the restaurant is located inside the mall. The GPS provided a miscalculated route. Funny! Anyway, here's what hubby ordered, a good portion of seafood lasagna with scallop and shrimp in it and the cheese is really yummy. I would definitely recommend these two when you visit Olive Garden. The food is worth every penny you spend.

Hubby and I had a wonderful dinner and we only spent $40 with tip. We tried the $25 special which consists of one starter/dessert to share, 2 entrees' plus unlimited salads/soups and bread-sticks.

I have my soup to go for I wanted to enjoy the main dish. Hubby and I were full and happy (wink). The server and everyone is great. The ambiance is relaxing, clean, and we had the booth which we love to sit on.

If you happen to be shopping along Millenia Mall, you will not miss the building of Olive Garden for it is located along Millenia Mall at 4101 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839 and if you want to call for direction, call: (407) 345-8331.

Now, I am hungry for their sampler ...hmmm. :-) Don't forget to check out those yummy food plates at Olive Garden in your area.

Buffet at the Beau Rivage

Dining out is just one of the activities that we enjoyed doing while we live in Mississippi. So, when we had our week long vacation last week, we had our breakfast at the Beau Rivage. It was a Wednesday so, the Beau had a buffet deal for seniors. We only paid $19.00 for the three of us at the Beau Rivage Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. When I was working in the casino a year ago, I was in the graveyard shift and in the morning, we always dine out for breakfast. I miss that! All casinos in the area have a buffet all day long. I do not prepare for our breakfast anymore so, when I arrive home, I can sleep for the day.
This is the main lobby of the Beau Rivage. The buffet area is at the right end part of the lobby, behind that tree. The food is delicious and there are so much to choose from. Breakfast is usually less than $10/person but, for Mondays, Beau has specials for military: 2 for 1 breakfast/lunch. Every Tuesdays, the kids eat for free; Wednesdays, seniors are charged half price. Other casinos have their own specials too. When we dine out before, we always go to the places with good deals.I can only have two plates and I am full. Well, for a price of $10, the breakfast buffet in the Beau is my favorite.This is the buffet area of the Beau Rivage. The selections of the food goes all the way to the left side. They have salads for the vegetarians too with wide selections of greens. Oh! I just love this place!

Amish Macaroni Salad

Do you have a Walmart Store nearby? Check this product because it is very delicious and it taste like a Filipino version of Macaroni Salad which is so flavorful.This product is made by Amish People. It will be a long story to tell about this group but, I will save that in my other blog. For now, I will just recommend this product so you can try.This container is less than $3, good for lunch or dinner. Of course, for a Filipino like me, this is just a snack:-) Amish products are healthy, mostly no preservatives or additives, and purely organic.
