The Essential Guide To American Comfort Food For Everyone Who Agrees 2020 Is NOT About Dieting

I am currently taking a break from eating at the following places because I want to eat healthier. So I thought I would share what I like to order at Chili's, B.J.'s Brewhouse, and The Cheesecake Factory. Enjoy!


1. Chili's

Appetizer: The Texas Cheese Fries or the Chips and Guacamole are my go-to options. They don't get me too full before my main meal and are fantastic to share with friends. Who doesn't love fries and chips with guac (also comes with salsa)?

The portions are generous and a must-have every time I go to Chili's.

Main Course: I honestly can't decide between the Cajun Chicken Pasta and the Bacon Burger. The Cajun Chicken Pasta comes with Texas Toast that compliments the dish so well, and the Bacon Burger is simply a classic.

Thankfully, Chili's offers a "Meal for 2" option for $25. It comes with both options, along with an appetizer and a dessert. I never get both, but it's always a thought.

Dessert: Hands down, the best dessert at Chili's is the Molten Chocolate Cake. I can go on and on about this dessert, but the best part about it is the cake and vanilla ice cream together with the caramel drizzle.

2. BJ's Brewhouse

Appetizer: Whenever I go to BJ's Brewhouse, I usually don't get an appetizer, but it's mozzarella sticks when I do. As a cheese lover, I love to satisfy my craving before indulging in my main meal.

They usually give marinara sauce, but sometimes I'll ask for ranch or even eat them with ketchup (sue me).

Main Course: Honestly, it is difficult sometimes to choose an entree because the California Chicken Club Sandwich and the Bacon Guacamole Deluxe Burger are delicious. It depends on what I feel like eating on that particular day, but these two options are definitely for those who enjoy avocado.

Their pan pizza is also a favorite of mine when I feel like eating something without fries on the side.

Dessert: The only dessert I will get at BJ's Brewhouse is their Monkey Bread Pizookie. What is better than combining cinnamon, vanilla ice cream, and bread, besides anything chocolate-related? It is a must-have, and I always make room for dessert.

3. The Cheesecake Factory

Appetizer: Because The Cheesecake Factory is notorious for its oversized platters, I tend to avoid their appetizers.

Main Course: The dish that I usually order is Four Cheese Pasta. Every bite melts in my mouth, making me want more, and I am not exaggerating. The types of cheeses included are Mozzarella, Ricotta, Romano, and Parmesan. What can get better than that?

I also love the Crusted Chicken Romano; I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Dessert: When it comes to dessert, cheesecake seems like the best option. But, Linda's Fudge Cake is very underrated and an alternative if cheesecake is not your cup of tea. Most of the time, I opt for the Red Velvet Cheesecake or the original one with a strawberry.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
