Oh, the sampler!

Last night we decided to check one of the local breweries in the Tower District. We went to Sequoia Brewery Company. I had the chicken fingers and garlic fries. The chicken fingers were your typical chicken fingers nothing special, the fries on the other hand were delicious! Just the right amount of garlic covering each fry! I loved them, they would go good with some wings :) My friend Mayra had never been to a brewery and I told her we must try a sampler. The one pictured here is what we had, each beer had a unique taste, we shared each one and rated them on a 1 to 10 scale 10 being we would drink again, and 1 being never again! It was fun to see each other's reactions to the different beers. I was surprised how affordable it was and how much fun we made sampling it! Would defiantly go again, and maybe try their burgers.

Happy Hour at Chevy's

Thursday night's Kickboxing class was replaced with light Christmas shopping and happy hour at Chevy's. Chevy's has some of the most delicious light and crispy chips in town. I ordered the fajita nachos with chicken. It is a plate of 8 individually layered chips topped with refried beans, chicken, and cheese. They come with a side of guac, sour creme and pico de gallo. I was in heaven, I enjoyed that each chip was fully loaded and full of flavor. I added the red salsa that was given to us with the chips and asked for green tomatillo salsa for an extra kick. I washed this delicious meal down the their seasonal Cranberry Margarita on the rocks with salt on the rim. It was a delicous drink, just the right amount of tart and sweet. This was a great ending to a Thursday night with good food, drinks and company. YUMMO!

Turkey sandwiches they never get old .

With Thanksgiving being over, I decided to make one last leftover turkey meal. My brother-in-law to be Jacob did his traditional deep-fried turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner. The fixings to this sandwich are very basic, I did however add some bacon. YUMMO! The taste of the deep-fried turkey took this sandwich to a whole new level. It was still very juicy and flavorful from the sauce that it was injected with. The bacon was a perfect crisp, and the romaine lettuce and pickle gave it and extra crunch. I bid adieu to my turkey leftovers with a class turkey sandwich. Maybe next year I'll make turkey taquitos.
