Category: Monday Lunches

Woke up to a rainy day washing away my blossoms! 🙂

Today’s Monday lunch is at Sagato. Sagato Bakery and Café is a bakery inspired by the foods of New Zealand, Australia and the Polynesian region of the Pacific.

Mom and I tried the pies. I had the Chicken, had to pick out all the chicken, and mom had the meat pie. Very delicious. Very buttery 🙂 I will definitely be back, but not very often due to the high calorie count, but I will be back!

Aaron got the fish and chips. The fish was red snapper. Very good as well! I told Paul that we will have to come here for our Friday family night this week. But, bring the fry sauce! I guess New Zealand doesn’t do sauce. Normally I’m taking fries from Aaron, but this time he was begging me to have a fry, and I just couldn’t do it. Can’t have the fries, without the sauce!

For dessert, this Koko Samoa Bundt Cake came home with me. They had soooo many treats to choose from it was difficult to choose just one. It was good, but not my favorite. I should have taken pictures of what Mom chose. It was a chocolate croissant of some sort. I had a taste of that one and it was really good. When we go back on Friday, I will have to try out another dessert.

After lunch Aaron came with us to not only one TJMaxx, but two! He must have been working from home for the last year and needed to get out! Ha!

But, it’s always fun with him, even though he was quite nervous in my electric car. 🙂 He was watching the number of miles I had, worried that 100 miles wouldn’t get us home 🙂 He asked me to turn off the heater to save an additional 35 miles!

Never a dull moment on Mondays!

Today’s lunch we went to American Fork and tried Avenue Bakery.

I had the brie cheese sandwich. I didn’t get the veggie because I’m not a fan of mushrooms. The employee said the veggie is her favorite out of the entire menu and I should have tried it.

I didn’t care for brie sandwich. Aaron was so sweet, he gave me half of his panini and his was REALLY good, minus the chicken 🙂 I will definitely be back to try the veggie panini.

I will also be back to try this! Looks tasty, right? Raspberry cheesecake. We skipped this because we had plans to go to….

Blox. Dessert Bars. This place was good, and I would return.

Starting from the top. The guy said the pistachio cream cheese cookie was good seller and everyone keeps asking for them. Not sure why 🙂 we didn’t care for it. It was good, but not that good.

The peanut butter chocolate cookie was my runner up. It was good and I would go back for another one. Reminded me of the prison’s, Serving Time Cafe’s bar.

The rice crispy bar. I didn’t try it. Mom and Aaron said it was REALLY good and it was one of their top choices.

The chocolate brownie was all of our favorites. But, it definitely needs ice cream. I would go back for this one, take it home and put some homemade ice cream on it.

We stopped off at Best Buy to help Cindy find a laptop. I ran into this. Microsoft Surface Duo. I need it! It is a foldable phone/ tablet. It folds up and you can put it into your pocket! Your pocket! I sent Paul a picture of this. Mothers Day is coming up… 🙂

Always look forward to Monday to go to lunch!

Bryan met us at Hires Big H for lunch. I always get the veggie burger with avocado and cheese. I have tried a lot of veggie burgers , and it Utah this place has the best one! Can’t get the fries. Not worth the calories, but other than the fries, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Aaron says all the burgers are really good, I will have to take his word for it 🙂

Dessert today was a bust. We went to the Sweet Spot. I need to document to NOT go here. Nothing sweet in here. It is a Brazilian café. Let’s see, how to describe this café ….first thing, the health department needs to make a stop here and make some changes. We walked in, looked at the dessert case and walked out. Enough said.

Next stop. Family Fun Bakery. Not to put down my cooking skills, but I can make a better cookie than what they had in the case. Won’t be going back here either.

With two down, we just decided to go to Crave. It was getting late and I needed to leave shortly to pick Eli up from school, so we went where we knew they had a good cookie.

We tried the Oreo stuffed cookie and Aaron got the safe chocolate chip cookie. it was good, but I should have gotten the chocolate chip cookie. Next time!

Today’s lunch, we went to Strap Tank.

Strap Tank is a beer brewery. Aaron was showing me what beer he was drinking 🙂

Bryan and Aaron split the pizza. This thing was HUGE. The four of us could have ordered this and still have left overs.

Mom and I split the fish and chips. A very good choice! I would come back here again for the fish and try another pizza.

For dessert we went to Crave.

We each tried a different cookie. Out of all the flavors of cookies, I think the chocolate chip cookie is a good choice. All the flavors were good, but the chocolate chip cookie was the best. When I go back, it will be the chocolate chip cookie for me!

Crazy thing after. I needed to go to a model home to get some house plans I liked. This house was in a 55+ community so I asked mom to pretend she was looking for a house in the community so she could get the plans. She was so funny! I wish I recorded it. She played the role perfectly! I always like touring model homes so it was a perfect ending for today’s lunch.

Started out today with a frigid run. Beautiful morning, but extremely cold!

Today’s Monday lunch we drove to Provo.

We went to Good Moves Cafe.

Today’s lunch was a fun one because Bryan came with! Today was also fun because at Good Move Cafe, you play games while you eat. They had a lot of games to choose from and surprisingly they were clean.

This is so true!

Eli picked out a few fun games while we waiting for our lunch to come. For lunch we had pasta with alfredo. It was really good. I would go back and get it again.

For dessert we stayed in Provo and went to Simply Cheesecake.

And simply it was. Nothing too special. I chose the oreo cheesecake and it was just simple. We each got a different flavor and I thought each cheesecake was just simple. It wasn’t bad, but not good enough to come back.

I’m glad Bryan joined us! Aaron and Bryan were throwing out movie quotes all afternoon and I have forgotten how funny they are, especially when they are together. I hope Bryan will join us throughout the winter.

This is what we woke up to.

13′. Freezing!

I skipped running and went to pick up Aaron for our Monday lunch.

Chubby’s cafe. It was pretty good. Fries and fry sauce were worth coming back for. They also have a peach cobbler with ice cream, and that was very tasty.

After we went to Harmons to pick up dessert. We tried cakes de fleur

It must have been old. The icing was fantastic, but the cake was very heavy and dry.

Another fun Monday lunch!
