The Blue Owl...

...this past Sunday, Matt and I drove down to Kimmswick and met up with my dad, grandma, sis and H for a pre-birthday celebration. Usually we just celebrate mine, Matt's, my sis' and stepsis' birthday at Easter but since it's so late this year, we decided to meet halfway. We ended up going to The Blue Owl.

Here's the H and me:

Sunday was my no-count day for last week meaning I didn't count calories. Good thing because I think I ate ALL my calories for the week in that one setting. My plate is on the left, I had chicken-n-dumplings (they were eh, not fabulous but decent, we had them for leftovers that night and Monday night), spinach and artichoke casserole (like the dip but by the spoonful!) and delicious rolls! H's plate is on the right, she just had chicken fingers and "dinosaur eggs." What a fun name! The waitress said they were like tater tots but I had one and it was almost like it was mashed potatoes inside.

The Blue Owl is known for their bakery. I was so overwhelmed and didn't know what to order then I saw, "chocolate peanut butter pie." Oh be still my heart!!! I had taken a couple bites already before I remembered to snag a picture:

My sis and Matt. He's so good at this fake "I'm having a great time" face, lol:

My dad, me and H. I realized I didn't get a pic of grandma but she had snuck off to the bathroom.

Overall, it was pretty good. Definitely a lot of calories, not sure I'd make a special trip back down there just for the food but if I was in the area, I'd stop back by. Next time though, I'd get the white chicken chili. Thanks for lunch daddy and for my birthday gift! Thanks to Grandma too for the cashola, we all know I love that!!!

I love Blue Owl - my work used to be right down the street from it. Next time you go to Kimmswick, check out the Dough Depot. All their sandwiches are made on homemade pretzel bread...yum!! Not to mention the DD is a part of my extended family :)

They have a much better breakfast than lunch, IMO. Plus, you know the desserts. Mmmmmm. Love their cinnamon rolls. They are as big as your face. No joke.

Sounds like a good time with family and a wise place to visit on a no-count calorie day. Yum with the dinner options.
