Scribbles About Food: Shannon Eats Steak! Moonstruck!

So... this might seem like a big deal... but I haven't eaten steak in a really long time. My parents LOVE steak and they gave it to me so often as a kid I just got tired of it... and I've only had it a few times in the past... 15 years maybe? I've had Chicken fried steak- which is really good. My dad got a hibachi recently and made hibachi steak that I liked. My friend's fiance made some steak kabobs recently also... and I liked that... so I just kind of wanted to venture into eating steak again because I'm getting a little tired of chicken.

And there's a really good restaurant in Asbury called Moonstruck... and I thought that would be a good time to try some. My parents really love their steak- I love their food and I've realized this is a good place to try new things... so I got it... and I'll review the appetizer and dessert I had also!

Appetizer 

We always pretty much order the same appetizers... this time we only ordered the one appetizer which is the Arugula, Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella salad... this is so good. The tomatoes are always so fresh and juicy. The Olive oil dressing is really nice... and the Mozzerella is delicious. All of these flavors together just taste great any time of year... but it is particularly refreshing in the summertime. It's just so great. Highly recommend!

Entree 

The Filet Mignon. I'm not an expert on steak obviously... but this just tasted really flavorful and delicious. It was served with butter on top over mashed potatoes... all of the steak dishes come with Mashed Potatoes except for the Cowboy Steak- which is served with Fries and some Onion Rings. It also comes with Vegetables... which come with most of the entrees as well... and let's face it... I never really eat them. Lol.

The potatoes tasted really good too... I don't know if they had any sort of Garlic or seasoning in them... it didn't look like they did... but it sort of tasted like they did... so it might have just been a really good potato...

I really liked it all. My big problem with steak in recent years when I've tasted a piece was that there was no real flavor to it... and there's certainly a lot of flavor to this one. It was really great. I ordered it Medium Well- and it was just right. They've got it down to a science pretty much there. It's great!

This is how they plate it... deliciously. lol. 

Dessert 

I had the Black and White Creme Brulee... which is really delicious. It has a little bit of chocolate custard on the bottom. This Creme Brulee has kind of ruined all other creme brulee's for me. The chocolate just brings so much flavor out... the crust on top is soooo nice and yummy... it's just absolutely perfect! 

Drinks 
Of corse I can't forget to mention the drinks! I always get the Bikini Tini... this is just strong enough without being too strong. It kind of tastes like a pina coloada but in Martini form... it's really great! They have another martini that's the same but with a banana... I think it's the Speedo Martini... which is funny... lol. Anyway... awesome drink! 

The service is always very nice and well informed also. It gets busy... but if you get there early it's pretty great! 

Anyway that's pretty much it! Hope you guys like this review! 

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
