This Chicken Ranch Wrap Here

Posted on September 7, 2015 by LFFL

Ranch Wrap with fried chicken, avocado, bacon, tomato, Jack & cheddar cheese, lettuce, ranch dressing, & wrapped inside a garlic-herb tortilla.

I can’t say enough about this sandwich wrap. I’m in love with it. I already had this in another blog post way back yonder—but it’s so good that I had to bring it back.

There’s just a perfect combination of all ingredients inside of it—except I always like a little extra ranch dressing with mine. The yum factor is out of this world—or at least it is to me anyway. I’m sure there are those who would think this an average sandwich—but I devour this thing within mere seconds.

Again, I got this from one of my hometown diners. Where else do I go anyway?

So, if you have nothing else to do today, I say you should make yourself a sandwich wrap like this to fall in love with—or better yet, frequent a local delicious diner for one of these bad boys.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Those hometown diners can be amazing second homes when you find the perfect one just for you.

A New Sports Bar In Town

Posted on August 30, 2014 by LFFL

Chicken Tenders with honey mustard & barbecue sauces and a side of Macaroni & Cheese.

I love meeting girlfriends out for lunch any chance I get. You can always get in good food and good gossip all rolled into one.

We decided to try a newly opened sports bar in midtown—and, boy, was it loaded with some good food. I really couldn’t make up my mind what to try on the menu. (Story of my life.) But after hours of analyzing it, I ended up going for the basic chicken tenders and—OH—they were amazingly good and crunchy.

It doesn’t take much for me to fall in love with a food item.

Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries.

Taxidermy.

Alcohol wall.

I always seem to order macaroni & cheese everywhere I go, too. I just like trying out different mac & cheeses because some definitely taste better than others—and, who are we kidding, it’s one of my favorite foods ever to eat in life.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, meet your friends out for lunch at a newly opened food spot.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Anytime macaroni and cheese is on the menu any place you go, definitely get a side order to go along with your meal. You can’t go wrong.

Chicken Bacon Cheddar Philly

Posted on July 12, 2014 by LFFL

Made with chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, onion, peppers, and ranch dressing; served with onion rings.

Today was a bright, beautiful, sunny, and fabulous day! Though I didn’t have the highway all to myself today, I enjoyed my drive nonetheless as I was on my way to enjoy some much-needed girl time. With drinks, lunch, and a good game today—how could I go wrong?

I tried something new on the menu today—a chicken bacon cheddar philly sandwich. Once I smothered the ranch dressing all over it, I pretty much devoured the entire thing. It was that good!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, have a day out with friends and try a chicken philly sandwich out on the town or get creative and make yourself one at home.

Take-Away Life Lesson: There’s nothing like introducing yourself to a variety of new menu items that pop up out of nowhere.

I Found A New Little Diner!

Posted on August 24, 2013 by LFFL

Biscuit & Gravy, Pancake with maple syrup and butter, Breakfast Sandwich made with scrambled eggs, ham, and melted cheese served on a croissant with a side of potatoes and fruit.

Oh, my word!!! I’m in LOVE with this new diner I discovered a few minutes north of me. A friend of mine turned me on to it a while back, but I just decided to drive out there and try it out for the first time this morning.

Let me tell you—there was a CROWD of peeps out there! They open at 7:00am but I got there at 9:00am and the place was entirely full with people sitting outside the diner waiting for their names to be called from the list.

I was about 7 names down, but was told it’d only be about a 10-minute wait. So no worries from me. We didn’t mind waiting.

The huge portions they give you are utterly amazing. I loved every minute of it. I wish they were closer to me, but it was SO worth the trip.

They close at 2:00pm every day though—which is super early. Probably a good thing for me or I’d be alternating between both the other diner I frequent and this one every day after work.

This is the Cinnamon Roll topped with icing that I took home to-go and warmed in the microwave. This was SO deliciously good. Big ups to the kitchen for making these bad boys! Ahh! It totally hit the spot. They’re not as big as the ones from my other diner, but they rock nonetheless.

Oh, how I just love little out-of-the-way diners! So homey.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, search out a new diner in your town that you’ve never tried out before and make yourself right at home.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Always try a small hometown diner first over a big chain restaurant. You’ll more than likely get bigger portions of food along with some fabulous home cookin’ in a homey-type atmosphere.

I Luuuuvvv A Good Breakfast

Posted on February 21, 2013 by LFFL

Biscuits & Scrambled Eggs smothered in gravy; fully loaded Hash browns with green onions, bacon, and cheese; Pancakes with whipped butter and maple syrup; and a super large 6″ x 5″ x 2″ Cinnamon Roll loaded with frosting.
(Of course, I can never go to this place without getting a cinnamon roll.)

So, you all know I pretty much dig my local hometown diner because of those cinnamon rolls (among other things), right? Well, I took myself out for breakfast one fine day and this is what I ended up with at the very same diner. Who knew? I just love me some breakfast! I could eat it anytime 24 hours a day. And I never worry about having someone to go with because I have no problem eating out by myself. It’s awesome.

On another beautiful outing, my breakfast consisted of:
Pancakes with whipped butter and maple syrup; a 5-Way Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Swiss, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Parmesan, and American cheeses on thick-cut egg bread; Ham & Egg Biscuit Sandwich with Cheddar cheese; and loaded Hash browns with bacon, green onions, Swiss & Cheddar cheeses.

And, YES, this was all for me. I wish people would stop asking me that like this is so abnormal. What kind of eating are you doing, anyway? You’re not living and enjoying life too swell if you’re not eatin’ like this!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, go grab a big breakfast by yourself at your local hometown diner and order a minimum of 5 items for yourself, eat, and enjoy.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Ignore all the people staring at you and your food in disbelief when they expect a 2nd and a 3rd person to join you and then realize no one else is coming. I do. Mind your biz.
