Best thing I ate this week



Lately all that I can dream of is the summer sun hitting my face and backyard barbecues accompanied by my closed loved ones. Ever since starting college family time has seemed to decrease and life's side aspirations and deadlines have somehow become first on my priority list. Recently time has always on a crunch and with everyone's schedules not matching up yesterday I was finally able to go out to dinner with my family. Spending time with them might sound like a minor everyday event but it meant a lot to me, it reminded me of how much I had missed simply being around them. My family and I went to Bonefish Grill located in the the Boulevard Mall and I ordered Pumpkin Ravioli and Baja Fish Tacos for dinner and for dessert I couldn't pass up their Crème brûlée. It was an odd mix of food but delicious in every way! I couldn't help but look for a recipe once I arrived home and looking and it, it is a perfect college meal that is quick, easy and nutritious!
