IHOP #CrissCroissant #KidsEatFree

 

ihop1

What a great way to spend a hot August Saturday – movies and lunch at the kids’ favorite place IHOP. I had to try the new Criss-Croissant because I heard about the  27 layers of flaky croissant dough perfectly waffled to a golden brown and stuffed with sweet and savory fillings. I picked the Spinach and Roasted Red Pepper (fluffy scrambled eggs, fresh spinach and roasted red peppers topped with white Cheddar and parmesan cheeses and a drizzle of hollandaise).  This was delicious.

The three kids knew what they wanted for lunch. Macaroni and Cheese and apple sauce. Little guy got the apple juice and the older ones got the Mango Juice.   Best news ever – Kids Eat Free from 4-10 p.m. daily August 1 – September 25 2016!

We were all king of full so they picked one dessert. They chose between the salted caramel and banana (cool dulce de leche cream and sliced, fresh bananas followed with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce) or the strawberries and sweet cream (filled with sweet cream cheese and topped with sweet, glazed strawberries) this is the one the kids wanted. We all shared because these things are pretty big.image

These yummy  Criss-Croissants  and Kids Eat Free are available from August 1 – September 25. As always IHOP is a super kid friendly place and everyone  always leaves happy.

Long Island Vineyard #PuglieseVineyards


 

image

Spending a few days in the Hamptons was what our family needed.  We did nothing really spectacular.  But we did want to visit a Long Island Winery.  We all set out to the the winery on our First day.  Pugliese Vineyards was the pick.

image

We purchased two bottles of wine, a bottle of red and a bottle of white.  Now, I’m not a white wine sipper but have to admit both red and white were a pallet delight.   This vineyard was a good choice to spend some time, and we were blessed with a beautiful day to relish Pugliese beauty.

 We finally settled on the spot we would sit at so we could enjoy the view as we sipped our vino and munched on the goodies we brought with us.

We spent our first day in the Hamptons at a winery.  Love the day.

madisontheatre2

There isn’t anything I love to do more  than to watch my grandchildren doing what they love to do best.  Natalie is a song and dance girl and I am so proud of her latest show “Blame It On The Movies – The Reel Music Of Hollywood at the Madison Theatre starring Kathryn Crosby.

Kathryncrosby

Some of the songs Kathryn Crosby sang were “You’ll Never Know” and “The Second Time Around” both favorite songs of mine. I loved the way she sang “My Foolish Heart” She is a class act.
