Not My Favorite Salad

by J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) on February 2, 2011

Dustin was working ferociously at his computer, so mom and I went shopping. He made the bacon, I fried it up! :P We go through fresh produce so quickly, I just can’t seem to get enough of it. I need a farm. :) ShopRite in Monticello has C- produce, so we went to Hannaford in Middletown; they usually have an A to B+ selection. I don’t think I’ve seen an A+ selection in years! Not even at Whole Foods.

Before we left, I had a small snack of a banana and a few ounces of pork tenderloin. I was trying to only buy what we needed, so going there hungry would have surely overloaded my cart.

It was getting late, and I did end up buying more than I planned, but what else is new? :lol: We stopped at Carbonella’s to pick up dinner. Dustin deserved his favorite meat lover’s pizza after a long day. I opted for the plant-heavy cuisine:

Half of an eggplant parm sandwich on ciabatta shared with my mom + a great big mediocre Italian salad with romaine

Looks delish, right? It wasn’t that great. Tasted dry and flavorless. I make better salads at home! :) I ate about a quarter of it.

Now, this. This was fabulous. Eggplant parm is one of my favorites! YUM

Wish I made my own salad at home. :( Oh well, hehe.

Question: Have you ever been disappointed by a restaurant salad? I don’t expect much of side salads, but main-course ones should be spectacular, ya know?

We decided to have dinner at the Alexis Diner last night. Despite it being 26F degrees and dark outside, it felt really good to get out of the office and get some fresh air! I love that Alexis has my favorite burger on their menu: Salmon burgers! I am pretty sure that they are Trident [...]

I Heart Salmon Burgers

January 5, 2011 Jenneral Posts

Salmon burgers definitely make it into my top 10 favorite foods, maybe even the top 5? Big maybe! I swear that when I’m menu planning salmon burgers pop into my head every other meal. Truthfully, I probably would eat them every day. They’re that good! I grilled a box of Trident Seafoods salmon burgers (130 [...]

Almost Grain Free Diet Day 22: Spaghetti and Sausage

October 12, 2010 Grain Free Diet

Spaghetti squash, that is! I can’t get enough winter squash lately. It’s just that good. Butternut and acorn are my favorites, but I picked up a spaghetti squash last week on a whim and thought I’d give it another try. I say another try because I wasn’t head-over-heels for it the first time I tried [...]

Buffalo Tempeh Salad

My latest tasty tempeh creation: Buffalo Tempeh Salad with blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese yogurt dressing I tore off a hunk of baguette Panera Bread style. Panera [...]
