Breakfast (7:40am): Cherry Vanilla Ricotta Cheese Crepes w/Fresh Pineapple

I would have to say I much preferred my first order of crepes as compared to these. I think it was the wild berry sauce on the other ones that made them awesome. Again, as with yesterday's breakfast, I felt like I was just eating too much ricotta cheese, except this time the ricotta was overpowering within the crepe wrapper. These weren't bad, but I wouldn't order them again. It was like the ricotta cheese texture plus overly-sweet flavor was just too much for me. The fresh pineapple was awesome, though! So breakfast wasn't a total loss   ;)

Lunch (11:10am): Antipasto Salad w/Prosciutto Ham, Baby Arugula, Roasted Bell Pepper, Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato & Balsamic Vinaigrette

This salad had a lot going on in it! The roasted bell peppers were surprisingly sweet and really very good. As you know already, I LOVE fresh mozzarella, so there's no going wrong there. The prosciutto ham was a new taste for me, but it was also very, very good. The arugula was a little too bitter for my taste, but such is arugula. I don't think it's supposed to be sweet. I may have preferred some baby spinach in the mix. Oh, and the balsamic vinaigrette needed a good shake-up before applying to the salad. It was good! Love that stuff. 

Snack 1 (1:40pm): Teriyaki Salmon & Caper Salad w/Whole Wheat Crostini

This was good, but I felt like compared to other snacks, this one was a little not-so-filling. The flavor was interesting. I can't really put my finger on the taste of the caper salad, but it was creamy and satisfying. I found the salmon a bit dry, which leads us to dinner...

Dinner (4:30pm): Fillet of Salmon w/Spiced Pomegranate Sauce w/Cider Baked Sweet Potato w/Red Currants & Exotic Mushroom Ragout

Lets start positively and mention that I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet potato w/red currants! I liken the currants to very sweet, tiny little cranberries. The mushrooms were good. Not amazing, but good; kind of plain. Now, the salmon flavor was fine, but just like my snack today I found the salmon to be very dry. The mouth-wateringness of the pomegranate sauce added some moistness to it, but on it's own it, I would have been drinking a lot of water to go along with it. The pomegranate sauce was good, but not my favorite flavor. It was very watery and so saturated most of my potatoes and mushrooms. The fish needed a lot of it for dipping! I normally like salmon, but after this dry salmon day, I may steer clear of TFD salmon dishes for a while. 

Snack 2 (7pm): Raspberry Chesecake

Okay guys, I'm running out of new, creative ways to say that their cheesecake is great, and this one was no exception. I savor every tiny bite I take, wishing there was more of it to eat b/c it's so good!! I don't think I'll ever get around to ordering a TFD muffin snack just b/c I can't miss my daily option of cheesecake! I can't imagine a muffin beating this out in the taste department. <3>
