Boudin Bakery Summer Treats, Eats & Catering Plus #Giveaway

Happy Mid Summer!!

 

Can you believe it's time to get ready for back to school? I know right!

 

We love spending summer at the beach, toes in the sand, laying out and splashing at the pool and of course we pack snacks to go along with us.

 

I am always a fan of packing what we will eat so that I can manage the kids, toys, towels, food, drinks and all other things we take with us. I often take Boudin Bread with us, sliced and eaten just like that.

 





 

Last week we took a break from the sun and shopped till we dropped for back to school clothes at MainPlace Mall.

 

The kids get so hungry shopping, oh who am I kidding, I am always hungry and we're a foodie family. I thought it would be fun to have a special lunch at one of our most favorite eateries.

Boudin Bakery... have you been?

 

It's not just amazing sourdough bread people, they also offer delish treats, sandwiches, salads, bread bowls and so much more.

 

You can even do a half and half combo to taste a few favorites!

 

Do you have a favorite at Boudin?

Mimi's Cafe Brings Happiness To Lunch With New Menu Items All Week Long

Mimi's Café Has A New Lunch Menu

 

It's been a while since I've eaten at Mimi's Café....

 

Thank you for having me out to try your new lunch menu. All opinions are my own.

 



 

Mimi's is special to me in a memory of my mom kind of way. We used to drop in for some yummy fresh breads and French Onion soup. Loved those times.

 

I remember her loving our time spent chatting and enjoying a good meal. We loved sharing a sandwich or a quiche and taking time to enjoy the moment.

 

It's little memories like this that were traditions for us before she passed. Now its nice to experience a lovely lunch with friends that have turned family.

 

Lunch has been updated along with a full new look to classic favorites and new bites in the whole menu.

 

With lunch combos you can choose a soup and sandwich that will also come with fries.

 

All of this for under $11 is a great deal to me.

 

 

We tried a few of the features and of course the savory soups.

 

The 5 Cheese Grilled Cheese 

 



 

 

The Turkey Royale

 





 

The Chicken

 

 

The Ham

 



 

 

Everything was delish and full of fresh flavors that I'd totally return for.

 

The French Onion soup is just as I remembered it from a few years ago and that is a taste of memories to me.

 

A lunch with friends is always refreshing and a way to recharge your energy. Laughs, food, fun... my style.

 

 



 

Mimi's Café is offering their lunch combo specials Monday To Friday from 11 to 4... enjoy!

 

Tried Fresh Brothers Pizza & Loved It! #Giveaway #NationalPizzaMonth #FreshBrothers

Fresh Brothers Fresh Pizza and so much more... 

Have you tried Fresh Brothers yet?

 

Yum - It was our first time and we loved it.

 

 



 

We are big on pizza but when you can order tasty appetizers, salads and desserts it's just an added bonus.

 

But wait... if you dine in you can also grab a beer and watch some sports on the many t.v.'s they have set up. I heard Monday night football has become a family night at Fresh Brothers and while we were picking up our to go order it was about that time.

 

On busy nights (4 or so week nights) we have school, soccer, training, o.t., homework and random stuff... but I still try to make or serve my kids tasty healthier foods.

 



 

We called in a to-go order. It was so easy to order, pick it up and get home to a hot meal ready for my family to chomp down on. After soccer my 10yo can eat like a grown woman... she's as fierce as her hunger too.

 

While the Fresh Brothers team put our order together we chatted with RJ the manager. He is really awesome. He told me how proud he is to work at Fresh Brothers not only because it's great food but because as a company they give back to their communities and take pride in bringing families together for food and fun.

 

RJ mentioned they have the ability to host parties or group outings. The group would make their pizzas and eat them too. I love this! You can find out more about booking one here.

 

Something else that RJ really stressed to me is the quality of ingredients in all their foods. From pizza to salad and all the appetizers in between... even the pepperoni is all natural. That meant taking my pepperoni pizza home, I'd see much less grease, I loved that!

 

 



 

 

I took some photos of the inside and it's pretty spacious. I can see why it fills up for game nights!

We packed up and filled our car with the smell of tasty goodness. It was a long ride home smelling but not tasting haha!

 

Wow! With a variety of eats Fresh Brothers packs on as much variety in their flavors.

 

 



 

The pizza was amazing and we all loved the taste of freshness and toppings.

 

 



 

The sides were delicious on their own & the chicken parm sliders and beef sliders were a hit with everyone.

 



 

The fresh green salad was perfect for the palate in between so many flavors between the pizza and the side dishes.

 

 



 

Something that really stuck with me was that there is vegan cheese and gluten-free pizza crust so that anyone can really enjoy that may have a dietary need.

 

Fresh Brothers even has you covered for dessert to go! Check out these beauties!

 



 

While we did not dine in this time I was totally encouraged by the chat RJ and I had to bring my family it. He said they like it fun, loud and full of good energy.

 

I told him I appreciated that since my son is a wild one but with an amazingly crafty yet sweet heart.

 

So... since I love that there is beer served and TVs everywhere so that families can plan a nice night out enjoying a favorite sport for the adults while the kids enjoy delish Pizza... I'm going to take the fam back for more but stay and dine in!

 

This month is perfect to repeat our visit.. it is National PIZZA Month!! YAY!

Have You tried the Corner Bakery Favorites?

 We have always enjoyed eating at corner bakery for lunch and dinner. The last few weeks I decided to treat myself and a few others to breakfast and then some.

 Since I've been having some GI issues I am always looking for alternative options that are easy on my tummy is still super filling and extremely yummy and that is exactly what Corner Bakery has for me.

Breakfast Flat - Sausage this time, next time bacon. Yum!

 I am super excited that they have fruit options and grilled Flats. The flats are super filling for breakfast and come three different ways so naturally I had to try all three but here is my favorite.

 Anyone who knows me can tell you I love my favorite the Chicken Pomodori but the corner bakery favorites has definitely grown on me. I will definitely start to order more menu items then just my original favorite that sold me on corner bakery so many years ago. 

 This was a spot my mom and I used to love going to together and I will grab a coffee and do the same with my daughter for years to come! 

Coffee Bar Full of all Blends

I was so excited to try some of the other menu items I even have my moms group meet for coffee one morning and surprise my friend with a birthday breakfast.. it was super delicious and fun. Always is at Corner Bakery!
