Cheesy Boy

I have always been a lover of cheese and French fries. It’s a great combination that surprisingly fills me up. This taste of heaven is called Texas cheese fries. It’s served in mini skillet with French fries, melted cheese, jalapeños, smoked applewood bacon bits, scallions, and a side of ranch dressing. I love the kick of the jalapeños and the hickory flavor from the bacon bits; it’s yummy. These fries are perfect for an appetizer or a side item. It comes in two sizes, so if you’re feeling greedy then order the full portion for yourself. I hope you enjoy this cheesy boy!

FYI: Chili's

FOOD TIP: Scallions are also known as green onions.

Description: This taste of heaven is called the Triple Delight. Its layers of chocolate, strawberries, whipped cream, and caramel combined to create this beautiful sculpture. I LOVE the creativity in this dish. The colors are phenomenal, and the powdered sugar pulls everything together. Dishes like this display food as a work of art. Personally, I appreciate the passion that was put into making this dish. Fred, The Feature of the Week, deserves a round of applause for his taste of heaven.

Girl Scouts

Who doesn’t love Girl Scout cookies? When I was younger I use to eat the Thin Mints and the Tagalongs. Since I have gotten older, I have grown to love the Samoas. Its vanilla cookies coated with caramel, sprinkled with toasted coconut, and laced with chocolate strips. These cookies are absolutely delicious. Every time I eat them, I savor each bite as if it were my last. One of my friends keeps some Somoas on her dresser, and I love sneaking some out the box. She knows how excited I get when I eat them, so she lets me have a few. The rich flavor will make you eat the whole box, so please pace yourself.

FYI: Girl Scouts 

FOOD TIP: Girl Scout cookies are inexpensive treats that you will enjoy. 

Mamma Mia!

My size tends to fool people because they don’t know I have a HUGE appetite. I could eat all day, especially if I’m eating Italian food. Plated is chicken parmesan, spaghetti with meat sauce, and lasagna. This taste of heaven is called Mama’s Trio. It’s a pool of Italian deliciousness. I enjoyed the fresh shredded cheese, the house salad, and the meaty sauce. The chicken breast was fried and smothered with mozzarella cheese and marinara to create the chicken parmesan. Then the spaghetti was sandwiched in the middle with more meaty sauce. Last, the lasagna, which is made fresh daily, consists of layers of noodles, different cheeses, and sautéed meat. Mama’s Trio was larger than me, but I was determined to conquer this beast.

FOOD TIP: When making spaghetti, add sugar to lower the acidic level from the tomatoes.

Description: This taste of heaven is grilled frog legs. It’s complimented with cherry tomatoes and warm baby rolls. The frog legs are served as an entrée, and they have a tender taste like chicken. Personally, I have had frog legs once; however, instead of grilled, they were fried. I would consider them bizarre, but something cool to try. The next time you dine out, take a walk on the wild side like Carissa.

This taste of heaven is called Caribbean Punch. It contains Cruzan coconut rum, Cruzan spice, banana liquor, and tropical juice. The sweet coconut flavor sets this drink off. While drinking the Caribbean Punch, I felt like I was on a beautiful island next to the the beach. It’s a winner in my book. I hope you guys have a chance to enjoy it as well.
