#FridayFinds - Cordado

One of our traditional team lunches has found a repeat for us.  In fact, as I am just now getting caught up on posting - we have been there multiple times and I'm combining all of the trips into this one post.

I am now a reward card holder and if I stand up and say "Tacos?" in the office, everyone knows where I mean, and a few will jump on board with a "What Time?"

Loaded Tots

Build Your Own Bowl

Two Taco Lunch Special

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Viva Zapata's! Mexican Restaurant & Cantina (Las Vegas)

At the end of this particular trip, we rented a car and went exploring outside of Vegas.  On the way back, we attempted to hide from the typical Vegas prices and grab some, you guessed it, Mexican on the way back to the airport.

The mexican fare was interesting and not the stuff that you normally get at a Mexican Restaurant in the USA.  That could mean that it was more authentic (since I've ate in Mexico - I don't think so but could be) or they are trying to set themselves apart from all of the others (I think this is probably it) ...

This was something that they brought for free and was interesting.
I can't find it on the menu to tell you what it is called though.

Queso Fundido

Tacos - I'm guessing Tacos de Carne Asada (no jalapenos)
(Hubby couldn't find a burrito or pollo dish he wanted)

Fajitas de Pollo

Stuff that came with the fajitas

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Good Pie (Las Vegas)

We were craving some pizza but had no energy to go exploring - so we used Uber Eats to get pizza from Good Pie. 

I don't know if it was because we got it delivered or if this was the norm, but we could barely eat it.  

It tasted burnt and not good at all.

Meat Lovers

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Mother Wolf (Las Vegas)

While we are in Las Vegas (yes - for a pool tournament, imagine that), we attempt to try a new restaurant.  Mother Wolf was one that a fellow pool player wanted to try, so we tagged along.

I have to say that the pasta we had was A-MAZING... but you have to order everything separately (think protein, bread, etc.), so it is VERY expensive (and think - Vegas prices, which makes it worse).

Overall, I am definitely glad that we tried it and will forever talk about that pasta, but due to our wallet crying, probably won't be a repeat.

This was the amazing tasting pasta.
I can't read the menu to tell you what it was called though. :(

Protein side - it was fantastic

Another pasta

Pizza - not sure which one though

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Incline Public House

Back to our traditional, monthly team lunches.  This one was for a birthday and since we had a meeting away from the office, we were able to try somewhere not in downtown.

The food was good, the service was great, the view was amazing...

Cranberry Mule
(non-alcoholic)

Cobb Salad - great

Brussel Sprouts - needed some help,
I had to ask for some sauce

Free birthday surprise for the birthday girl

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Red Fox GRILL

Ok, so this wasn't a scheduled, traditional group lunch... But I was hungry and forgot my packed lunch at home, so I headed to a spot that the rest of the team goes to often (yes, they tagged along to). 

It was a nice walk from the office and good food that hit the spot when I just need to get away from laptop for a while. 

I'm not a huge fan of French Fries - but these were pretty good!

Egg Salad Sandwich
(Messy, but yummy)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Funnel Cake Island

With our recent failure to find some great desserts (see previous post), we kept searching...

And did we strike gold!

At the request of my waistline, this won't become a regular for us - but my taste buds definitely wish it would!  If you are anywhere near Cincinnati - you must give your taste buds the honor of trying this place out!

The strawberry / oreo combination

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Dreamy's Ice Cream

We have been missing our favorite dessert / ice cream places up in Toledo.  When we heard about Dreamy's Ice Cream opening up near us, we were so hopeful!  And we were so disappointed.

The opportunity that they had to make some amazing sundaes out of soft serve was just passed on by. 

We haven't bothered to go back and just continue to talk about Mr. G's and how much Dreamy's could have been like them but aren't.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Gran Fiesta Mexican Restaurant (Strongsville, OH)

Yes, we were out of town for a pool tournament (surprise)...

And we tracked down a Mexican restaurant (double surprise)...

Hubby even talked them into adjusting one of their items to be more like his favorite back home.

They were surprised by the combination and seem interested - who knows, it may be on the menu now?  Probably not, but we can be hopeful if we ever return.

The adjusted item - added pineapple to a pollo dish

Nachos of some sort

Skinny - of course

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Jubie's Creamery (Fairborn, OH)

We headed north to see my brother for his birthday and ended up with some great ice cream.

If you are in the Fairborn area and have already experienced Young's Jersey Dairy over in Springfield, then I recommend giving Jubie's a try.  I believe that this is a regular spot for my brother's family.
