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?

This is only a small portion in fact, these orders are under the dollar menu but, I enjoyed it.
The nuggets are not the best but, for my hungry tummy, this is enough to make me full!
My husband and I went to Cocoa Beach today with our friend Ann. We are viewing some property rentals because we are on the process of buying a rental income property which we could also use as a vacation place.
After viewing some properties, we decided to visit this restaurant. Ann suggested that we should try the scallops and for a starter food, this is a bit expensive, $8.99 for 2 skewers or $12.99 for 3 skewers. Because it was so good, we ordered two servings.
I love calamare so, I ordered this finger food. It was okay but, not the best.
There was no big crowd on this particular Wednesday. There were new servers but, our server was the old Vietnamese woman. There was a Filipino employee in the buffet area. I saw him in the Italian section.
Because we are in crisis, I think the casino business in this area is hurting so bad. After the katrina and the oil spill plus, the bad economy that we have now, people are saving money than gamble.
The buffet lacks the seafood this time. My husband was looking for crab legs and shrimps but, they do not serve it this time.
The picture above is the entrance to the buffet from the casino area.
As you can see, there were vacant seats unlike before, people are waiting in a long line. The price is sti; the same every Wednesday, half the price.
Here is another treat from the bakery, a bear claw. If you buy a bakery item in a regular price, it would cost $2 or more but, with the promo of 99 cents, that's a good deal! Bear claw is made with an almond filling, drizzled with icing and sliced almonds. I usually eat it without the icing.
This is my favorite and I crave this meal once in a while. This is a creamy broccoli cheddar soup which is a chopped broccoli, shredded carrot and seasonings simmered in a velvety smooth cheese sauce.
The same menu but, the bread was used as a bowl for the soup. I first saw this food on Food Network Channel when the chef introduced his favorite food. I was influenced and so, I found it and now, it's one of my favorites.
Visit Panera Bread in your area and check this out. Let me know if you like my recommendations. Have fun dining!
