Grabbed a lunch special with a friend the other day at my local Flanigans.  I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich (which I ate without the bun) and curly fries.

Nothing fancy but quite good.

I was an absolutely bad girl today!  While doing groceries yesterday I spotted the frozen pizza section (one of my favorite parts of the supermarket!!) and saw the boxes of Totino’s Pizza.  

I had not had this since I was a kid and I just had to have it.

I gobbled it all up and it was just a deliciously naughty as I remembered.

Found this awesome Cuban spot near home called Havanas.  I’ve been eating there for a few months and I am addicted to their chicharron de pollo!  (chunks of deliciously marinated chicken that is then fried)

I had it with brown rice, black beans, and tostones. (smashed green plantains that I fried twice)

I was starving when I first arrived so I took down some Cuban bread that was just out of the oven.  It’s safe to assume I had NOTHING for dinner, still full!

Met an old friend for lunch at Village Tavern and ordered the Marinated Flank Steak with sweet potato fries and black beans.  The meat was very fatty so I didn’t manage to eat very much of it.  The beans were ok and the fries were delish.  Wouldn’t order this again.

One of my other favorite spots at the Seminole Hard Rock-Seminole Paradise is Blue Point.  I’ve been visiting this spot for many a birthday dinner or with a group of friends before hitting the clubs.

I met up with a friend for lunch and we enjoyed two different types of sliders, black angus and crab cake, with a side order of calamari and sweet potato fries.

You KNOW I hit the gym hard after this lunch but it was so worth it.

One of my new favorite spots is called Offerdahl’s.  This adorable salad/sandwich spot was so close to my house I have no idea how I missed it.  

Owned by former Miami Dolphins linebacker John Offerdahl and his wife Lynn, they started off as a bagel shop and now offers all kinds of delicious (and healthy) meals and treats.

They have a few locations so add this to your “must try” list.

The reason I went through that “healthy eating kick” was because of this.  I rarely ever FULLY splurge on a full McDonalds meal but this day I just wanted it.  With splurge I mean if I do decide to purchase from the golden arches I try to go sans fries though that is my favorite part of the meal.
On a hungover Sunday, I went for the gold and got the Big Mac combo with an unsweetened ice tea and fries.
So good.

Took a quick trip to Tampa and on my drive back I stopped off to grab a Grilled Chicken Subway Sandwich. You can’t beat the $5 footlong!
In my sandwich had grilled chicken, honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, black pepper, onion, green peppers and banana peppers.

Do you want to enjoy one of the most delicious meals of your life? Go to Keese’s Simply Delicious in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.  I was at a photo shoot at the Ocean Manor Hotel right on the water and my friend suggested this place since it was highly rated on UrbanSpoon.com
My order that you see here is a chicken philly sans mushrooms and a side of fries. I’ve no idea what that special seasoning was that they put on the potatoes or what that delicious sauce was in my sandwich was but it was EPIC!
Go out of your way and eat here.
