"By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before." -Edwin Elliot

My mom texted me this one day and it has always been one of my favorites, so I just thought I'd share it!

My Top Five Restaurants

- Bread Company
Anyone and everyone can find something they enjoy here. If my family of Lexie and I can't decide on the place to go the answer is always Bread Co. My favorite (right now) is a you-pick-two with broccoli cheddar soup and the chopped chicken cob salad. It's delicious! And, you don't even have to feel bad for eating out because it's all fresh and healthy.

- Olive Garden
Olive Garden has been one of my favorite restaurants for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love pasta; I could eat it for each meal of the day. This is a place I typically go for a night out with my family, which is another reason it's my favorite. Even when I was younger, anytime my sisters or I would do well in school we would get to go to dinner, our choice. They wouldn't even have to ask me when it was my pick  they already knew the answer. 

- 54th Street
54th Street has almost anything you could imagine on its menu. I crave it for their boneless buffalo wings and their special gringo dip. The sauce on the wings isn't a traditional hot sauce; it has a different taste to it that I really enjoy. It's a perfect combination but not the greatest for you.

- Outback
Lexie introduced me to Outback. I have always known about it but my family never really had it in one of our top choices when we would go out to eat. Now, I always have to beg Lexie to go when I'm craving it (which isn't very hard considering she would eat it everyday if she could).

-Buffalo Wild Wings
Buffalo Wild Wings has recently become on of my favorites. I used to order the boneless wings and they were good, but I recently started ordering the regular wings and I'm in love. I also really like hot foods so when I'm craving something spicy and delicious, Buffalo Wild Wings is the perfect solution.

"30% Gym, 70% Diet, Abs are made in the kitchen."

I found this quote on pinterest and after reading In Defense of Food, I found it interesting. In Defense of Food portrays this idea that we should not trust the food industry and our supermarket stores, but in actuality, the only people to blame for our eating habits are our ourselves. Yes, 'real' foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables may empty our pockets a little more, but is it worth it? In my opinion, it is. If you think about the unnecessary items you invest your money in daily, most of these things disappear or go out of style in a year but your health stays with you forever, good or bad. Your health should be one of your main investments.
