Chili's is one of my favorite restaurants. It may not be the fanciest place, but the decor is fun and the food is good! 

Alyson treated me to a wonderful meal there the other day and I couldn't have been happier! We tried to figure out the last time we had been there, and all we could come up with was "a very long time ago."

I'm going to take you through the perfect meal for my taste buds.

First: Strawberry Lemonade.

I get Strawberry (or raspberry) Lemonade at nearly every restaurant that offers it. 

Chili's has one of the best flavors. It's sweet, but not TOO sweet and also not too sour that you feel the need to add three sugar packets to the beverage. And though I've learned not to let them bother me, it doesn't have pieces of soggy strawberries floating in the drink, which makes it awesome. It's a good choice!

Second: Cajun Chicken Pasta.

Penne pasta in a creamy alfredo sauce, with cajun seasoning, grilled chicken, tomatoes, green onions and parmesan cheese with a side of Texas toast. It's perfect. 

For years, I never strayed from the fajitas or ribs (both great, by the way) until I took a step out of my comfort zone and ordered this wonderful dish. It tastes wonderful, and when you can't finish it, it warms up perfectly in the microwave at home!

Third: Molten Lava Cake

It's as rich as it looks. You NEED the ice cream to help keep you from dying in a sugary coma of happiness! I have loved this desert from the first moment I tried it. It is one of my favorite deserts of all time. Top five easily!

When you leave that restaurant, you should be feeling fat and happy. It's a total diet killer. 

But that's how it should be!
