Breakfast (9:45am): Strawberry Stuffed Whole Wheat French Toast w/Honeydew & Cinnamon Apple Yogurt

We already know I love TFD stuffed French Toast. I was really excited for this one because I love strawberries, and I was thinking the toast would be stuffed with strawberry halves, perhaps with some sweet strawberry juice/syrup inside. Well, the toast was good, but the strawberries didn't live up to my dreams. They were small, cubed pieces of strawberries filling the toast and weren't very sweet at all; more bitter, not necessarily totally ripe. They were okay, but if I were to do this dish myself, I'd give myself sweeter, larger strawberry halves. The yogurt was very good and the honeydew was good, maybe could have used two or three days more ripening for added sweetness. 

Lunch (12:25pm): Fresh Salmon & Mozzarella Cheese Melt on Spinach Tortilla w/Kalamata Olives

The flavor in this wrap was great, but the bad part was the salmon (at least I think it was the salmon, maybe it was olive juice) had caused the wrap to become VERY soggy on the bottom and the wrap tore on my first bite. It was very gooey bottom-side, so I flipped it upside down so that the whole thing didn't fall apart. It was a really good blend of ingredients, and the olives were very present in the mix, adding a whole lot of salty, olive-y flavor! The salmon inside was plentiful and very moist. I'd order it again on the condition of it not being so damn soggy. 

Snack 1 (3:25pm): Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna w/Snow Peas & Creamy Wasabi Sauce

This may be one of my favorite afternoon snacks, mainly because I love wasabi and all its hotness! Unlike the horseradish dips (which taste watered down to the point where you can hardly taste horseradish) this wasabi sauce was powerful! It was a pleasant light-green color, and it made this snack awesome! The tuna was grilled well and tasty, and the snow peas tasted great when paired with the sauce. It was a good serving size of tuna. The sauce got so intense at some points (I globbed it on there pretty well) that I had to stop and catch my breath and drink some water. If you don't like wasabi, this snack wouldn't be your best option unless you chose not to use the sauce, but I really feel you'd be missing out because it's really an awesome dipping experience  :) 

Dinner (6:30pm): Beef Kebab w/Peppercorn Brandy Sauce w/Sweet Potato Hash & Roasted Artichoke Hearts

This meal is probably going into my top 3 meals from TFD so far. The beef was perfectly pink in the middle and very juicy. The brandy sauce sort of acted as an au jous for the meat and was perfectly portioned (and didn't leak into my side dishes, which some of the more watery sauces tend to do). The meat was YUM-o, loved it! The sweet potato hash and artichoke hearts (both of which I've had as sides before) were yet again delicious. The sides were a 100% improvement from yesterday's side dishes, and MUCH more filling. It took me about 30 minutes to eat everything on my plate. Take THAT portion size!! 

Snack 2 (9pm): Coconut Cheesecake

Really good! What else can I say about it? You already know how much I love TFD's cheesecake  ;)
