There are a lot of things to be grateful for during this holiday season. One of my blessings has been being able to eat again. For those of you who don't know I am 14 weeks pregnant and I really couldn't be more happier, more grateful. Our little babe will be ready for the world around June 14th and I'm already counting the days, weeks and months to see this little one. Today we went to our nephew's blessing and watching Jason hold our adorable nephew made me get butterflies. He's already the best uncle to our family and I know he's going to be an amazing dad. Let's just say I'm filled with love and am very grateful.
So back to eating. It's been a few weeks of not feeling good. I've been craving meat which I found very odd. After a couple of years of not eating a cheese burger..I did it. I inhaled it like Michelle Rodriguez in Hawaii (remember Mullin fam?) and it tasted really good, then an hour later I threw it up, but I haven't given up. So now I'm really taking advantage of some food and date nights and date days. Here are a few of my favorite places, hopefully you can all agree with the list below or a must do on your date night list.
Blue Plate Diner: My favorite black bean breakfast burrito never gets old. I order it every time and our waiter even asks me if I'm getting my usual..should I feel embarrassed?
Red Rock: We ate there last night, Jas gets the french onion steak sandwich and it's delicious. I had a bite of his and it totally beat my black bean vegan burger. Pizza's are amazing there too!
Bohemian Brewery: If you're a meat lover..get the buffalo burger. It's the best along with their garlic french fries.
Ruth's Diner: There homemade biscuits are the best. I'm craving them right now
Red Iguana: I love my bean and cheese burrito smothered with enchiladas sauce..it's a Rasmussen favorite
Wild Grape: This place is only a few blocks from my house and I love it. I usually get the smoked portobello sandwich, but I gotta lay off soft cheeses for awhile. There grape salad is pretty tasty
The Pie: I'm going to have a lot of lay low date nights and nothing is better than a movie and a veggie supreme.
La Frontera: Talk about smothered burrito goodness. I don't eat here enough, which is probably a good thing, but it's pretty delicious.
Great Harvest: I'm still in love with my hummus harvest sandwich on savory bread.
Royal India: There veggie masala is amazing
I know that I'll be cooking a lot at home..here are few favorites to whip up...this one, gotta make this and this one is super good and super easy.
Happy baby Happy eating
