New Food Discovery

For some reason, I have had my mind on food a lot these past few days. Probably because I'm trying not to and that just makes me think about it more. I'm not dieting because I love to eat too much and am not dedicated to do it. I am trying to eat healthier and in smaller portions though. Any way, I'm not sure why I am blogging this but I had to share that I ate at a wonderful place yesterday with two sweet friends. It is called Jackson's and it is in Homewood. I had a great chicken salad penini(yummy!) and for dessert, we all shared something I had never heard of. Cookie Dough Egg Rolls! They wrapped chocolate chip cookie dough up in the filo type wrap and fried it where it looked like an egg roll. They served it with ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. It was one of the tastiest things I have ever put in my mouth! Unfortunately, now I can't stop thinking about it.

Today, I decided I had to come up with something to take my mind off of it with less calories and I just made a fabulous salad with ingredients from my veggie co-op this week. Spinach and tomatoes tossed with whole wheat pasta, Lite Italian Dressing and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Aaahhh! So good in a very different way.

I think that one day we need to have another girls lunch at Jacksons. Anyone game?
