Cheesecake=Love

Happy Easter my loves!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day full of family fun! I know I did!

All the ladies! Birthday girl is in the middle :)

I will post tomorrow about Easter, but today I am going to talk about my fantastic night last night! My group of friends went to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate our buddy Beeta's birthday and we had a blast. The only thorn in the whole evening was that we had to wait about three hours to get a table! My dearest Cheesecake Factory, why don't you do reservations??

While we waited, we headed over to Dave & Buster's to partake in some adult beverages to take the edge off the wait.

Once we finally sat down, I dove in to the ginormous menu. Anyone who has been to CF knows that the portions are HUGE. I am talking, two-people-can-split-it-and-still-have-leftovers-huge. They are also known for having some of the most fattening and calorie-rich entrees of any chain restaurant in the country, so it's fair to say I was a bit nervous about what to order.

My nerves were calmed when I found CF's new Skinnylicious menu that has entrees under 650 calories! Eureka! In the end, I decided on the chicken pasta and was not disappointed! It was the perfect portion size and left me comfortably full (and ready for cheesecake!) The tomato sauce was also rich in flavor and I could taste the basil and garlic in there. Yum-oh!

For dessert, RJ and I split  the Chocloate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake. Okay, okay, I ate my piece and most of his too. I couldn't help it! It was too good! A layer of fudge cake in in the middle of cheesecake and marscapone cream?? Come on, I had to devour it!

Heaven is a place on Earth...

After dinner, we headed over to Dave & Buster's for some arcade fun before finally heading home, exhausted. I had a blast hanging out with my friends and hope to do it again very, very soon!

LOVE these guys! 

How do you order at restaurants that are notorious for being unhealthy?
