Foodie Friday: Gourmet Italian

I was fortunate enough to have another multi-course meal …

Roasted Garlic Hummus: Olive Garden’s Festa Italiana appetizer

This time, from mainstream and always yummy Olive Garden!

Risotto Bites: Olive Garden‘s Festa Italiana appetizer

What drew me here was the Festa Italiana ~ four course meal.

Asiago Tortelloni with Meat Sauce: my main course from Olive Garden‘s Festa Italiana

I grew up here, as Italian is my favorite food!

White Chocolate Strawberry Dolcini: my dessert from Olive Garden‘s Festa Italiana sweetens the deal ~ and to top it off, I had a discount!

When you’re here, you’re family!

What flaves do you crave when your HOLYday hunger pangs strike?

For me, it’s pumpkin during the fall and peppermint closer to CHRISTmas!

• Apple Cider
• Chestnut
