Garlic Chicken Adobo

Too much of a good thing is bad but sometimes, I have to give in to what I was craving for so many days now. When I received a Garlic Presser for free, I have the need to bake and cook a recipe that has a generous amount of garlic and at the same time, oh so yummy! Tender licking good as my husband described it!

I was confident that I can prep everything fast. Besides, I was using my new Garlic Presser from #Orblue. How was it? Oh my goodness, it is durable, great looking, and delivered what's it made for. Using this product has been no sweat at all! For more information, please check out my full review here :

#ChickenMcNuggets Using #ArchCard From McDonalds

I was very happy to receive my perk, a McDonalds arch card worth $5 sent to me through #Klout. Now, I was given a free sample because I'm a #Klout influencer but, I am under no obligation to talk about #McDonalds product.

I am a big fan of McDonalds and I love their fries and crunchy chicken. Last week, I finally able to try the McDonald's Chicken McNuggets using the arch card. I was ready to #CelebrateWithABite .

Receiving the perk was exciting and though it was only $5, it was enough to buy the Chicken McNuggets. It was my first bite and I dunk it with the new Habanero Ranch Sauce which I love. Okay, it was too hot for me hehehe but, I like it because I love spicy food. I used a little bit just to blend the taste to the Chicken Mcnuggets.

 

Honestly, I am not a big fan of Chicken Mcnuggets because, I can taste the batter more than the chicken. It was not bad but, I am not a big fan. I want to eat chicken nuggets that I can bite the chicken meat more.

I used the entire amount of my arch card for the McNuggets and added few cents for the tax. It was a good deal for a dinner of two. I was pretty happy and yes, I ate all my Chicken McNuggets share. Thank goodness with the Habanero Ranch Sauce, I was able to appreciate the taste of chicken McNuggets.

Have you tried Chicken McNuggets yet? Try it and let me know okay? Thanks for stopping by. I will see you tomorrow on my next post right? See yah.

#McDonalds #ClubhouseSandwich : #ChickenBacon

It's been a while that hubby and I went to McDonalds so; I thought of giving in to my "McDonalds chicken sandwich" cravings. This time I ordered the premium crispy chicken bacon clubhouse sandwich. I used a coupon so; I got the fries and soda for free. Check this out:

How delightful is that, right? The bun is so good with the onion and crispy bacon in it, the flavor is dancing inside my mouth. You should try this clubhouse sandwich. It will fill you up for sure.

Baking the Four Cheese Italian Pasta with Pollo

Eating is one of my favorite things to do and diet is not in my vocabulary. That's true! I love to eat rice too. Oh, I can't last a day with out it! How's your Sunday by the way? I bet you had a wonderful time with your family. We spent the day at home after all, Sunday at this time of the year means Football Sunday. Hubby and I attended an early morning mass at Divine Mercy Catholic Church in Merritt Island and since BJ's, our favorite store is just nearby, we went there for grocery shopping.

I bought a shredded 4 cheese Italian blend cheese for my pasta and pollo dish. I was so glad that hubby appreciate the baked pasta which I served for lunch today. It's creamy and cheesy!

I will have the recipe ready on my next post. I tell you what, this is truly delicious. Thanks for stopping by. I will see you next time.

Pizza Hut Meal and the Conjuring

Yesterday, hubby and I decided to watch The Conjuring movie at home via #BrightHouse #OnDemand. This movie will set us into the scary mood for Halloween. The Conjuring is a supernatural horror film starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson. They portrayed as Ed and Lorraine Warren, the paranormal investigators. This movie is about the case they handled on the Perron family. The family experienced a scary events in their farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island happened in 1971.

The movie is based on a true story and it was scary but I admit, this is not the scariest movie that I saw. I recommend that you watch it. It is worth watching for. Since we stayed at home, pizza, pasta and chicken wings are awesome part in our movie watching.

I ordered the good for two creamy chicken alfredo with breadsticks at Pizza Hut. The big meal I ordered was good for our lunch and dinner.

I also ordered the dinner box since I love the cinnamon that comes with it.

We ate good while watching the movie. We can only eat faster as adrenalin rush sets in LOL. The only time I jolted from my seat was when one of the girls was attacked by the witch. Remember that scene when the witch was at the top of the cabinet? BOOO! Happy Halloween.

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.

Chicken Trio at Ruby Tuesdays

If you haven't tried the sumptuous Chicken Trio menu at Ruby Tuesdays, you should try it on your next visit. The chicken breasts are super tender and done in three ways: fresco, bella, and mango salsa as toppings. I can't really pick which one tastes better because I love the three variations. Chicken Trio is served over rice pilaf on the side.The chicken fresco is a juicy and all-natural grilled chicken breast with vine-ripened tomatoes, lemon butter, and a splash of balsamic vinaigrette. I am drooling right now just by looking at this meal. The chicken bella is a sautéed baby portabella mushrooms and artichokes in a Parmesan cream sauce over a fresh, grilled chicken breast. This is so creamy and tastes equally good as the fresco. Well, just try this and I am sure you will love it.

Crispy Chicken Wings at Hooters

Hubby and I will have to do some errands today and we will be heading to Orlando any time soon. Since we ate the chicken wings at Hooter's at Bayside Market in Miami last Sunday, all I could think was this plate and I am drooling right now just by looking at it LOL. Their way of preparing it is just perfect for my taste buds!Gotta go now! I will treat my hubby this time and I bet, he would love to go to Hooters today and see the sexy food servers at Hooters.

Church's Chicken at South Semoran

There is a newly open branch of Church's Chicken along the South Semoran Boulevard in Orlando. My husband and I checked it out and we ordered the original chicken and corn nuggets. I was expecting that their chicken would taste excellent but, it just taste okay. It doesn't have the unique flavor that I am looking for. I will give it a try on my second visit and maybe, I will have a change of heart. On the positive side, the manager is awesome and he knows how to deal with customers. This branch has a very friendly atmosphere and the staff were very courteous and polite. It is a good strategy because customers love that. I was really happy that they have corn nuggets. Last February, I love the taste of corn nuggets in one of the buffets in Biloxi Mississippi. I craved for it so; I ordered this.I will go back and taste their fried chicken again and I hope I will appreciate it by that time.

Grilled Chicken Caprese at Olive Garden

If you love Italian Food, I suggest that you should check out Olive Garden. I was not so hungry but, I crave for Grilled Chicken Caprese at Olive Garden the other day. I ordered Strawberry-Mango lemonata which is a refreshing strawberry and mango purée. It is mixed with sweet lemonade and sliced strawberries. My grilled chicken caprese is a light meal with mozzarella, sun-dried tomato and basil pesto spread in it. This menu comes with a soup so; I ordered the spicy Zuppa Toscana. It has a spicy sausage, russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth. You should try it when you visit Olive Garden. If you want to save few bucks, check out the coupon online, print and give it upon payment. Coupons are always welcome in this establishment.

Croquetas de Pollo

When I was growing up, I always visit my grandma. She loves to cook. I always dropped by her workplace after school. Her fettuccini with Alfredo sauce and croquetas de Pollo are my favorite food. She died when I was in College. When we visited Saint Petersburg and dine at the Columbia Restaurant at the Pier, I was amazed to see this:I still miss the recipe of my grandma. It was better than the Croquetas in Columbia.

Olive Garden Near Florida Mall

Hungry? Do you crave for an Italian food? Olive Garden is the best place to visit and you will definitely satisfy your taste buds craze for soups, salads and breadsticks. They make their own salad dressings and that's why their salad tastes better.This is my favorite refreshing fruit drink, the Berry Acqua Fresca with strawberry, blackberry and raspberry purée and mixed with acai berry and sparkling water, topped with fresh berries.They have variety of soups, salads and breadsticks which you can try as much as you want (unlimited) for $6.95. Honestly, I can only have two bowls max and my favorite is Chicken & Gnocchi which is a creamy soup made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings and spinach. The picture below is Zuppa Toscana which is a spicy sausage (yummy), russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth. If it's creamy, I love it. Why settle for a soda when you can have a healthy beverage such as Strawberry-Mango Limonata or bella lemonata?This is Chicken Parmigiana with parmesan-breaded chicken breast, fried and topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese and it is served with spaghetti. If it is dinner time, the portion is even bigger and if you are famish, go ahead and order.If you want to bring home an Olive Garden salad at home, buy the dressing instead. It's less than $6 a bottle. The Olive Garden in Florida Mall is my favorite location because the servers are more friendly and polite. If you happen to visit Orlando and shop at Florida Mall, check out this address:

1555 Sand Lake Road
Orlando, FL 32809

Delicious Food

I love Tony Roma's Restaurant at South Semoran Blvd which is nearby the airport. The ambiance in this location is great plus the servers are knowledgeable of the menus. We tried asking them about their signature steaks and they explain it very well. We always have a beautiful dining experience at Tony Roma's. Oh, try their Baked Potato Soup which is topped with grated cheddar cheese, bacon and chives. It is very delicious. This menu is from Columbia Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Florida. This is Chicken and Yellow Rice, one quarter of chicken baked with yellow rice, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, spices and virgin olive oil. It taste good but, the portion they served was really HUGE! If the guest is famish, this is the good menu to order, LOL. I also ordered the croquetas de pollo which is good but, I love the croquetas of my granny though. This is my first visit and I enjoyed the meal. I will definitely dine in the Columbia Restaurant and I might pay a visit in the Celebration area.This plate is from IKEA Restaurant and served for breakfast. In less than $3, you can shop the IKEA store and never gets hungry for more.This is Eggplant Riojana from Columbia Restaurant which is my hubby's favorite food. It is a sliced eggplant breaded with ground plantain crumbs with rich Rioja sauce of tomatoes, garlic, capers, olives and red wine topped with melted Galician Tetilla cheese.
It is always nice to eat at home and prepare a homemade recipe. My husband loves to cook in fact; he was a cook when he was working in the Army. This is one of my favorite meals: a baked a garlic porkchop and creamy pasta with mushrooms.

Let's Chow! Do not forget to exercise LOL! You need to burn the calories! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Tour of Italy at Olive Garden

If you come for dinner at Olive Garden, the Tour of Italy is about $16.25 and it comes with lasagna, creamy fettuccine pasta in white sauce which I like, and the breaded chicken. My chicken was tough this time hehehe but, since I enjoyed my pasta, I am alright. I am not in the mood to complain on this particular night. Besides, I like this restaurant no matter what. I love my blueberry fresca as always. I won't order this menu again because it's a big portion. The food is great with that minor mishap, you can see the burnt chicken right? LOL.I just love the Olive garden. It is my favorite Italian Restaurant. As a matter of fact, I am drooling for pasta and their sampler Italiano this time. Oh so yummy! Good thing I have my own version of Sicilian scampi right now. It is a big shrimp sauteed with olive oil, garlic and tomato. Yummy Yum! It's my dinner tonight, want some?

Crunchy Fried Chicken

Being a blogger, whenever I am and no matter how simple a subject that caught my eye, my camera is ready for a snap. Sometimes, I already ate everything on my plate and forgot to take a picture for reasons that the food I ate was simply delicious. I have this plate from Golden Corral and their fried chicken is my favorite. In fact, I go there for their fried chicken.

Hmmm, I thought of going to Golden Corral today too. It's been ages that I went there.

Croquetas de Pollo

I used to visit Bem-Bem where she works. She was my aunt granny and whenever there are parties of her employer, she was there to help prepare two of her famous recipes: Croquetas de Pollo and Pollo Fettuccini in white sauce. She died almost two decades ago but, we still remember her recipe so; every special occasion, my mother would prepare it for our noche buena and birthdays. When we dine in to a Spanish inspired restaurant in St. Petersburg, I was so amazed to see the croquetas in the menu as an appetizer. It brings back my childhood memories. While I watch her cooking, I was always there waiting to eat my share. Honestly, the croquetas of my granny is more tasty and juicy than this one. Their croquetas are dry and the ingredient seems lacking. Anyway, I asked my mom the ingredient of Croquetas de Pollo so I can make it homemade too.

FishLips Waterfront Bar and Grill

After writing four posts today, Hubby said we will go to Port Canaveral for a short ride. It was not really a short ride because more or less it is an hour road trip passing Indian River, Banana river, Titusville and Cocoa Beach. Anyway, Port Canaveral and those places I mentioned are just nearby. After having migraine for 4 days, it is really good to go out today and hang out in Cocoa Beach.First stop, we had lunch at Fishlips Waterfront Bar and Grill at Port Canaveral. This is my first visit on this restaurant and was lucky too, Sarah Peacock, a fast rising singer was there for a solo performance as part of her concert tour. I ordered steamed white rice and a jumbo 5 pcs wings with sweet iced tea. The iced tea was bland and tasted like water. I ordered another glass but, it seems they did not check the taste of the iced tea, I can't taste the tea, LOL. Okay, I ordered steamed white rice but, I was given an instant yellow rice. My jumbo wings were good though. I enjoyed my food because of the music of Sarah and because the ambiance is great. My feeling was somewhat like a dealfun.com where I am comfortable.My husband eat all his creamy soup because he was hungry but, he can't taste the broccoli in it. I tasted his scallop with polenta and it taste alright. The food in this place is good and not bad at all based from what we ordered. I expect that it taste better than the nearby restaurants but, it's not!I like their place though. The ambiance is great and all the decors are fantastic. The servers are nice and very courteous in fact, we gave a good tip. We plan to visit anytime next month with a friend and see if the food will be better in taste and if they will give me the rice I want, LOL.Would I recommend this place? Of course, I will! This restaurant is clean, beautiful, excellent ambiance with a nice bar, smoking area separating people who don't smoke and nice view over the waterfront.Here is Captain Morgan, nice statue huh! The decor in this place is truly amazing! I just blown away!Here is the bar, isn't it beautiful and grand? I rate our food with satisfactory but, still we ate it with no complains because hubby and I enjoyed the place and the ambiance. Visit this place and see it yourselves! I recommend it!

This is my Yummy Sunday entry and thanks for stopping by.
