Scribbles About Food: Brennan's Review

So Brennan's is a Local Steakhouse near me... and now I like steak... so I thought I would review.

I ordered the Filet Mignon with a baked potato. It also came with a salad... I wasn't really expecting it to come with a salad or a side. The Menu doesn't mention that entrees come with a side or a salad- it just shows the different types of Steak, Seafood, or Chicken you can order and then it gives a list of sharable sides you can order... so I was going to share a side with my parents... but instead- they let you pick out a side for yourself and a salad... which I guess is a good thing- but it was just a little unexpected.

Let's start with the salad. I ordered the mixed green salad with the balsamic... it was really tasty! It came with a nice size tomato... I didn't feel like a tomato that night- so I gave it to my mom... but she said it was really good and it looked nice and juicy. The balsamic was nice, they put just the right amount on the salad... and the mixed greens just tasted delicious and fresh and yummy. It was just a really good salad!

Next I'll talk about the baked potato... it was really yummy and fluffy. It wasn't my favorite baked potato in the area though... there's a restaurant in Highlands called Bahr's... they have AMAZING baked potatoes. They're huge and fluffy and just really yummy. It came with a good amount of Sour Cream also... it was really good... but not quite as good as Bahrs.

And the Steak... also really good and flavorful. They asked if we wanted steak sauce... I said no... I should have maybe said yes... I really like Steak Sauce and it was a little bit dryer than the Moonstruck steak that I tried. The Moonstruck came with butter... so I think that had something to do with it... Either way both were really good... I would maybe recommend Moonstruck over Brennan's but it's really good!

Moonstruck tends to get really busy if you don't get there early... Brennan's is a little less busy... so if you're too late for Moonstruck Brennan's is a good option- if you wanted steak. I've had other food from Brennan's also... but I don't remember how it was... but I remember liking it.

We didn't get dessert from Brennan's... the steak was pretty filling and they didn't have many options for dessert. They had cheesecake and ice cream... we just got Starbucks for dessert instead.

Anyway- I just thought I'd do this little review. It was a little bit more filling than Moonstruck I think... not quite sure how... I did eat more at Moonstruck... but idk it was just really filling and yummy at Brennans too.

So that is everything. Hope you guys found this useful!

Bye!

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...
