Chicken Fajitas for Two

Authentic Mexican Salsa

worth the translation!!

Fried Banana Cheesecake

Nutella Crepes
I wouldn’t classify either of these as gourmet – but Nutella, strawberries, and whipped cream is fabulous!

This was a pretty perfect lunch. The newspaper place mat was especially charming.

Best Pizza on the Gulf Coast
We’ve been here for a year… and this is by far the best pizza we have experienced in awhile!
Gio’s Flying Pizza and Pasta

I could just eat salad and bread with this oil.....

As per Texas protocol - they pile it on...

No deli meat here....
They say everything is bigger in Texas - I dont know what they are referring to specifically, but I can say its true for plates of food and the family truck. This is a club sandwich like I’ve never had before. Real slabs of turkey and ham between whole wheat toast. You should see the fried chicken salad – at least 4 chickens were sacrificed.

I only had one bite.....
I guess you should know we are in the process of moving from Texas to California. This was taken on our home excursion trip. I’m kind of upset that I didn’t take pics of the Deep Dish pizza in Berkley, and the split pea soup in Saratoga.
