McCrady's Review

Ivan and I used to love going to McCrady's. We would go on special occasions to enjoy a bottle of good wine and a cheese plate. Most recently, Ivan and I went the week before Valentine’s Day. Because of our experience, I thought it important to put it in my blog. When you go to a restaurant, whether its casual or fine dining, the one thing you expect is consistency. Our latest experience with McCrady's had us more than disappointed. It appears they have made huge cutbacks on portions, therefore leaving you with a large check and an empty stomach. For example- their cheese plate used to be our favorite. 3 Cheeses set up on a butcher block accompanied by dried fruit, olive oil, nuts, and fresh bread. You couldn't beat it, the plate was amazing. When we went back this past February we ordered the cheese plate only to find out that is has drastically changed. Now the 3 cheeses are set on a slate board. There is only one small slice of each cheese and the accompaniments are just flavored jelly. The bread reminds me of wheat thins. For the same price and the same description, the two cheese plates couldn't be more different. Here are some photos to show you.

Tortilla Soup

 I am always looking for new ways to spice tortilla soup up- I finally found a way to make it that I LOVE. The dish is so simple and quick to make- yet the different dimensions of flavor make this meal one of my favorites to not only eat but make.

BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese

These sandwiches taste sinful, they are that good! The melted cheese, BBQ chicken, and avocado just  melt in your mouth. I am getting hungry just thinking about these sandwiches.:)

Lemon and Herb Roasted Chicken served over Mashed Potatoes

I rarely eat chicken off the bone. There is something about picking out bones while I eat that doesn't always sit well with me. When I saw these huge split chicken breasts at the store, I just knew I could make it work. I thought that roasting the chicken with lemon and herbs and serving it over mashed potatoes would be a yummy and hearty dinner. With some spanish flare (sazon), this chicken was moist when I cut into it yet the skin had the perfect crunch.
