Affordable Healthcare Insurance

The disadvantage of working from home is having to pay the healthcare insurance solely on your own and it's a bit expensive. I got it and I paid high premiums but since I needed it, I have to deal with it until such time that I will go back to work. To avoid financial trouble in hospital bills, we should consider having the health insurance. It is a security blanket and though there are offers for affordable health insurance, we should understand that the discount medical insurance policies that we got are beneficial for us.

The best health insurance quotes vary from each individual. It is always good to pay lower health premiums but, it would also entail lower health benefits. That is why; we need to personalize the health insurance that we need. If we visit the doctor regularly, it should include the free doctor's visit, or if you take prescriptions, make sure that your prescriptions are included in the package for free.

The health insurance that we have will be beneficial if it is designed for what we need. If you are diabetic, you should check out if your prescriptions are included because if not, you will be paying your insurance for nothing. This is just one factor that you should consider so, when you plan to switch your health insurance, evaluate what you need and pay the premiums that you can afford.

Italian Restaurant in Orlando: Olive Garden

Though I crave for a Chinese food on Valentine's Day, my husband prefer to dine at Olive Garden in Florida Mall location in Orlando. It's my treat for him. Wives often times neglected the fact that husbands need the gesture of caring too. On Valentines, it will be my treat! Here's the classic Italian dessert, Tiramisu, all for him with some love! I ordered from the Classic Recipe menu and I had a Chicken Parmigiana which is a Parmesan-breaded chicken breast, fried&topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese with spaghetti on the side.Hubby ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana, lightly breaded eggplant. It's fried and just like my order, it comes with a spaghetti.Since it comes with a salad or soups, we both ordered our favorite Chicken Gnocchi, a creamy soup made with a roasted chicken, dumplings and spinach. Food is great! Servers in this restaurant are always awesome! Would I recommend this restaurant? Of course. You should check out this address:
1555 Sand Lake Road, Orlando, FL 32809

Blackberry Lemonade at Ruby Tuesday

We traveled to Mississippi on a Thursday at dawn time. We made few stops and after traveling for 8 hours, hubby and I decided to eat a good lunch at Ruby Tuesday along Post Oak Lane at Marianna, Florida. Oh yes! After 8 hours of driving, we're still in Florida.I ordered Blackberry lemonade which is a sparkling sips of Ruby Tuesday. It has chunks of berries in it but, it was a little bit strong to my taste. I usually ordered something which is out of my comfort zone. It was good and I enjoyed this lemonade even though I drank only half of it.

Olive Garden Chocolate and Mint Candy

Grazie! This is an Italian word expressing gratitude. At the end of a hearty meal, Olive Garden gives out chocolate and mint candies to the customers. It is their way of saying "Thank You" for patronizing their restaurant.
My hubby loves the taste of this candy. It's minty and soothing! He eats all of these every time and left me with nothing, LOL!

Popsicle

How was your Valentine's day everyone? Did you received flowers and chocolates? I bet most of you did! Well, I don't have any but, it was alright. I treat my husband for lunch instead and we went to Olive Garden. Since we had no plans for the day, we decided to go to Disney World. We parked at Magic Kingdom and we just play it by ears from there. We saw a Disney bus that could bring us to Hollywood Studious so, we rode the bus out of curiosity. We went to Star Wars and rode in the Simulator attraction that gave me a headache. I told hubby to buy me anything that's sweet and cold so, I got a Popsicle.
I felt fine after... weird huh?

Garden Cafe' and Great Outdoor a Freestyle Dining at Norwegian Sky Cruise Line

Looks like a Filipino food right? Well, I have no doubt that the cook in the Garden Cafe' and Great Outdoor restaurant is a Filipino. NCL company has 13 cruise ships and I happen to experienced cruising the Norwegian Sky. There are 80% of the Norwegian Sky crews came from the Philippines. I heard positive feedback about them in terms of workmanship.Anyway, our room attendant was an Indian and she was polite and courteous.A bar tender in the Great Outdoor gave me a terrible service. When he saw me approaching for my drinks refill, he made me wait. I thought he had important things to finish on his cash register. A man sat beside me and the bar tender started to entertain him and pretend not to see me. My husband observed that incident. Anyway, after the man left I asked the bar tender to refill my mug and he was sarcastic when he told me to open the lid of my mug. I was not satisfied with his service and he saw me holding my $5 and put it back in my wallet. The next day, he was so good to me and asked me where I came from. He was a Filipino, too bad huh?This restaurant is a buffet dining and the guests can occupy any seats they want and anywhere they like. Unlike the other cruise line, guests have a sitting arrangement all throughout the cruise duration. Not in a Free style cruising! Guests here can eat any time they want and they can order a room service for FREE of charge.The ship is huge, clean and most of the crews gave an excellent service to us. I would definitely recommend the Norwegian Sky. If you are planning to cruise to Bahamas, check out the Norwegian Cruise Line. I would love to do cruising again. I am thinking on husband's birthday perhaps? Now, I'm thinking...

We had 4-days cruising to Bahamas hopping to three islands of Freeport, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay which is the Private Island of NCL From the moment we stepped on board, the party begins.We went directly to the Garden Cafe' for lunch. The first two pictures were taken at the Crossings, one of the fine dining areas in Norwegian Sky.This is the view of the poolside on the 11th deck. I bought a Bahama Mama and some souvenir items from the ship.This is the Garden Cafe' early in the morning.I actually eat breakfast early so, by 7:00 AM , I'm done eating. You should try the fine dining experience.

Long John Silvers and Taco Bell

We went to BJ's the other day and did our grocery. On our way home, we stopped by at Long John Silvers and grab me a fish and fries meal while hubby chose the crunchy tacos. I am not crazy with hush puppies but at Long John's, I can eat few of these. I only eat the cod fish , it taste alright but, the fish meat is lost with the thick batter, LOL. Anyway, my husband loves the tacos. I did order one soft taco for me, it taste good. Once in a while, we came here if we crave for whitefish fillet.

Olive Garden at the Millenia Mall

I was craving for delicious Italian food and since we are nearby Millenia Mall, we went towards Olive Garden. I ordered a Smoked Mozzarella Chicken, garden fresh salad and blueberry fresca.My husbands' favorite is Eggplant Parm and some soups.When we were in Mississippi, there was no Olive Garden in the city where we live. It was damaged and washed out during the Hurricane Katrina. When we crave for Olive Garden food, we had to drive down Alabama but, here in Orlando, Olive Garden is just everywhere.This is my favorite soup, Chicken & Gnocchi which is creamy with roasted chicken and Italian dumplings with spinach.I always order Blueberry Fresca but in each location, I noticed it didn't taste the same. It really depends on who made it.
I like this better than orange juice, the latter juice tastes sour.This is Zuppa Toscana soup which is a Spicy sausage, russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth soooo yummy.
Before we went home, I bought this Italian salad dressing. It is really good and I use it for my salad at home.
Another photo of my drinks hehehehe....obsessed!Here's hubby's Eggplant Parmigiana plate,and a bottle of Olive Garden salad dressing...still obsessed LOL.Thanks for stopping by and see yah next week.
