140.2…Date Night with the Ladies

My daughter got to chose where we ate lunch yesterday. With her, it will either be Souplantation or Olive Garden. It was off to Olive Garden we went.

I had the soup & salad combo.

I tried the Chicken & Gnocchi soup. It was ok. I'm really just there for the salad. Multiple bowls of salad, that is.

My son went to a friend's house to spend the night. That left my husband, daughter and myself. We decided that we really wanted to go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. With a seven year old. You have to try things once, right!?! I told her it was a fancy restaurant for grown ups. She got so excited and put her favorite new dress on complete with tights and fancy shoes. It was beyond adorable.

My husband and I shared Carpaccio to start.

It was amazing. We also shared a wedge salad. 

I had two mini filets with shrimp for my entree.

We shared asparagus and creamed spinach. 

My daughter ate French fries, by the way.(I fed her before we left.) Ruth's Chris has a kid's menu (who knew!?!) but she's a picky eater. 

My husband's birthday is coming up this week so we decided to celebrate a few days early with some creme brûlée.

My daughter behaved SO well and we all had a great date night together! 

Breakfast this morning (after gloriously sleeping in) was a Special K Flatbread Breakfast Sandwich. 

Today has been spent getting stuff done around the house. Nothing exciting. 

My husband went to pick up my son and some Marketplace Grill for lunch.

Yum!!!

What was your favorite restaurant as a child? Mine were Denny's and Sizzler. :)
