Dining at #McDonalds

Fast food is not my typical kind of food but, there are times that I crave for them. Since we were traveling since Monday, we stopped at #McDonalds all the time. We ordered coffee, hot chocolate, fries, burgers and yap, used their rest rooms as well, LOL. We love this place because it's convenient, clean and the food is great. Let's be honest, most of the time their food is great! Unless if you are calorie-conscious, you might disagree.

When I craved for fries, this order is nothing! I need two of these with ketchup and mayo. Oh so good!

Home Fries with Mayonnaise and Hot&Spicy Banana Sauce Dip

For a long time, I do not like to eat fries. I just dreaded the grease. Not that I am picky with what I eat in fact; I eat anything tasty without minding the calorie content. My husband said that I am fickle minded especially with food choices and kind'a crazy with food cravings really. For example, I love eating avocado. For maybe a week, I will eat avocado twice or three times a day. I will make avocado shake and have it in my sandwich or have it in my salad. After few days, good bye avocado and see you next year. Weird huh? I forgot when was the last time I eat avocado. It's been ages LOL.

Same thing with fries. Last Saturday, I was so hungry when we travel from Cocoa to Orlando so; I told hubby to stop by at McDonalds. I have a large fries and my goodness, it was the best fries I ever had for a long time. Guess what, after the mass yesterday, we did the grocery at BJ's and as we drove home, I told hubby to stop by at McDonald's again and he bought just a small fries.

Today, my mind is on the French fries again so; since I have French fries in the freezer, I decided to make home fries. The dip is made of mayonnaise and hot & spicy banana sauce. I know, my taste buds and cravings are weird. Let's chow anyway! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Monday.

Orlando Airport Ale House

Bits of crispy bacon, lots of cheese and fries ... dang ... that's what I craved when I had my migraine. Oh yeah, it helps a lot. Lower your eyebrows friends, LOL. When we went to Saint Cloud, Florida, my migraine was kickin' in. With misty eyes, was burnin' hot and my mind wandered what I would do for relief. A good cold shower helps a bit but, since we were on the road traveling for almost two hours in a scorching heat, pain was really bad. After meeting with a friend, hubby mentioned about Ale House. Oh my goodness, I remember this:

I told him, we will have lunch at Ale House and we drove 35 minutes from Saint Cloud to the Airport Ale House. I ordered the ALE HOUSE LOADED FRIES, a pound of seasoned fries with melted jack and Cheddar Cheeses, scallions, bacon bits and ranch dressing for dipping. This is humongous so; I end up asking for a box after the meal. Burp! Oppsss ...

A blurry shot huh? This is hubby's favorite, FRENCH ONION SOUP: onions sauteed in a sherry broth and smothered in a thick layer of provolone cheese. I did not try but he said this is his all time favorite soup.

The husband ordered this too but, we shared. BABY BACK RIBS half rack is one of the specialty at Miller's Ale House. Fall off the bone indeed! It is slow cooked and smothered with southern BBQ Sauce served with choice of Potato and cole slaw. We were so full and had no space for dessert (wink).

On our next visit, I will try the OSSOBUCO. The picture looks good but, was not too thrilled to eat at that time. It is a marinated pork shank served with mashed potatoes,  gravy and vegetable of the day. Sounds delicious right? When we went home, my migraine slowly disappear. (wink) ...

Ale House Loaded Fries

Oh yeah, this is truly delicious! Forget about losing weight for few hours yeah? If you love french fries, go and visit Ale House in your area and try the Ale House Loaded Fries. Hubby celebrated his birthday with his friends and co-workers at Miller's Ale House along this address:  6141 S Semoran Blvd Orlando, Florida. Hubby and I enjoyed the company of his friends. While hubby was talking from one friend to another, I was busy munching the fries LOL. I could have enjoyed it more if this order arrived while it is hot and the cheeses are melting and chewy at the top. It was a busy evening so; I totally understand the server's service imperfection.

Okay now, the ALE HOUSE LOADED FRIES is a one pound of seasoned fries with melted yummy Jack and Cheddar Cheeses, Scallions, Bacon Bits and Ranch Dressing for Dipping. I tell you, this is huge and could be shared for two. This is only $7.99 ... yep, affordable huh? Try it!

Home Fries : Perfect Brunch

Yesterday, hubby did all the cooking and since I already baked the pandesal or he calls it hot rolls, all he did was cook the home fries and sauteed a hotdog with tons of onions, garlic and sweet cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients of home fries:

2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into desired size
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
3 pcs bacon, baked

Directions:

In a medium-high, heat the olive oil in the skillet and sautee the onion, season with seasoning, salt and pepper to taste, and add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook and stir occasionally until well browned on each side. Transfer to a warm platter and crumble the bacon on top and serve hot.

YUMMY!
