Noodles

Nick and I are always trying to decide what to eat on Sundays. It’s the day of the week that we nibble all day in the kitchen and when it comes to dinner time, we are not in the mood to fix something at home. This is also the day week that we fill the car up with push water and stop by the post office to check the business mail. While we are out, we go ahead and grab a bite of supper.

There are a couple new eating joints in our town. One is Bad Daddy’s burgers and One is Viva Chicken. These two places just opened up a couple weeks ago and are located next each other. So we headed that way. We had planned to try the one that was less crowded. Well, It just so happened that both restaurants were over packed with customers waiting outside. That ended that idea and put us back to square one. Now where are we going to eat?

Noodles & Company was near by and was another place we had never tried. It's been here for a couple years now. There was just something about the thought of a bowl of romaine noodles that was not appetizing and sounded full of calories. If we wanted that, we could just get a ten cent pack of oodles and noodles and stay home. 

Well, it was getting late and we like to eat before 7 pm,  so we figured we would just go ahead and shoot over to the Noodles & Company and give it a try. My cousin was just telling us how good it really was earlier that day. So we go in for a bowl of noodles

. 

I was actually surprised at the selection of noodle bowls they had. There were healthy options such as zucchini noodles added to the menu along with salads and soups. They even had low calorie options. The bowls come in small or large and you can add a meat to any bowl that does not already come with it. 

I picked the Thai Green Curry With Shrimp and a bowl of curry chicken soup. It was had the perfect spiciness that was not too hot for my taste. Nick ordered the zucchini noodles which is called “Zoodles”. We tried each others dish and was not disappointed. This place was really good. We were impressed and it was nothing like what we thought.  There was even out door seating which we love. 

I’m glad we tried it out. We plan to go back again soon. 

Family Dollar Fashion

When I think of Family Dollar, I think of it as a place to buy household cleaners, bubble gum and batteries. I had no idea they had cute fun clothes. I have never had any intentions of buying clothes from a dollar store.

Well. Listen to this....

I had seen a dress on line that I liked and showed it to my daughter. She was surprised because It was a coincident that she had planned to give me a dress that was similar to the one I showed her. Her room mate works for Family Dollar and gave her a dress from their clothing line. It didn't fit her well so she asked if I wanted it. “Sure” I said. 

This shift dress has double ruffled sleeves that drop perfect off my shoulders giving it this fun cold shoulder style. The jersey material makes it light and cool for the warm weather we have been having. The material stretches with every move so you don’t have to worry about it riding up and showing your bloomers when you bend down or if the wind blows in your direction. 

I paired it with my favorite nude heels for a dressy look. This dress is sexy enough for date night, yet modest enough for church. I actually wore it to church Sunday and got a lot of compliments from all ages.

Another way I wore this dress was by blousing it over a fitted belt.

This style made the dress shorter and gave it a more fun look that can be worn with flats or sandles. This style makes it a fun dress for the beach, shopping or a trip to the park. 

Who said clothes always have to be designer or from a fancy boutique. Just go to the nearest Family Dollar and check out more of their clothing options with prices and styles for anyone.
