Leftovers
I guess I'm never cooking again...leftovers for dinner tonight!
Tofu Alfredo
Noodles and Company
Oak Park, IL
As if leftover alfredo doesn't sound bad enough, these weren't even my leftovers! They were my sister's leftovers that she left at my house. Anything to get out of cooking dinner I guess! :)
Grades:
Megan - B (So leftover alfredo isn't the greatest because the sauce kind of separates. And tofu probably wouldn't have been my choice. However, the tofu was crispy and surprisingly good in the pasta. I'd actually probably order it again because I'm sure it would be even better fresh.)
Noelle - A (Noelle didn't have the tofu alfredo, but she did have her leftover macaroni and cheese. She enjoyed her whole meal, but I think her favorite part was that it came with an applesauce pouch. She loves anything in pouches since she doesn't usually get them.)

Christmas in June
We went to Santa's Village today and grabbed a quick dinner afterward before heading home. It was a great hot, Christmas-y day!
Beef and Cheddar Croissant
Portillo's
Downer's Grove, IL
The only things I ever get from Portillo's are their cheeseburger and hot dog. I love them so much that it's hard to try anything new. However this croissant sounded great so I decided to branch out and give it a try.
It was good...because how could you go wrong with beef and cheddar on a croissant? However, I still prefer the cheeseburger or hot dog.
It was basically like Italian beef with shredded cheddar on a croissant. I wished that instead of shredded cheddar it had more of a cheese sauce, like the cheese on nachos.
Grades:
Megan - A- (I liked it, but I think I'll just stick with my classics next time.)
Noelle - A (Noelle has become a big fan of Portillo's since we go there for lunch quite often. She had a hot dog and ate it all. Portillo's is one of the few restaurants she recognizes and gets really excited when we go.)

Happy Birthday Doug!
Tonight we went out to dinner for an early birthday celebration for Doug. He chose the place and we took a nice little family walk to the restaurant.
Boar Bolognese
Citrine
Oak Park, IL
I have been to Citrine before and LOVED their burger. I really, really, really wanted to order the burger again, but I stuck to my challenge with this blog and ordered something different since I already had that burger this year.
I was limited in my choices to something without too many crunchy things in it because you know...wisdom teeth healing. I opted for the boar bolognese because it sounded interesting and I've never tried boar before. It was very good, but I was still missing the burger.
Grades:
Megan - A- (The pasta was good, just not as good as the burger. I feel that Citrine has a nice atmosphere and a great patio which is where we sat. However, every time I go there I feel it is a bit overpriced. The burger is a good deal and delicious. Go for that!)
Noelle - A- (Noelle loved the bread and olive oil dipping they brought to the table before dinner. She had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and liked it. She loved that she got a scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal! And sitting outside was very entertaining for her because she loved watching the trains go by as we ate.)
