My Exclamation Point Eating!!!

 

Now that I have committed myself to this, I have become very doubtful that anyone is going to WANT any of my ideas! They are not that unusual, unhealthy for the most part, and maybe downright weird. But here goes since I promised!

I'll start with one of my recently discovered and best ideas! It involves The Cracker Barrel! I love to eat and shop at CB. Did you know that it is one of the few places that will allow "kids of any ages" to order from the kids' menu? So I usually get kid's pancakes and bacon! This time I treated myself to a fancy latté (for absolutely no good reason!)

You can now order pre packaged to go dinners when you dine in and order any entreé. They let me count my kid's meal as an entreé, and let me order more than one meal to go. They are chilled but not frozen. And...they are only $5 each! 

Here's what Cracker Barrel offers to go:

This is a French toast bake. I only ate half of it the first morning, warmed in the microwave. The second morning I wrapped it in foil, put it in the regular oven (this counts as cooking, incidentally) and it was much better! Has syrup with it.

Their meatloaf is delicious--probably my favorite restaurant version! Mac and cheese very good, too!

The grilled chicken has very good mashed potatoes with it.

There is also a fried chicken meal, but I lean toward my old faithfuls...Chick Fil A and KFC for that!

I have not had success in ordering delivery from Cracker Barrel. They do, however, have designated parking places and will bring food to your car. I like my food hot, so I would drive there and then order!

 

One more hint! You need something green with your meal, ya hear? I've got you covered with something amazing. Put a can of Del Monte French style green beans in a small sauce pan. Add one teaspoon of sugar (no more) and one teaspoon of olive oil. Let them simmer til all the liquid is gone and the beans caramelize a bit. You will be surprised at how good they taste! It's worth washing the pan! One time when I prepared them I ate the whole can and, without details decided the next time it would be better to just eat half.

Come back tomorrow. I'll surprise you with a place that delivers!
