LongHorn Steakhouse

LongHorn Steakhouse opened their doors to us Utahns in December and we had a chance to test out numerous dishes from their menu. I have to say, everything we tried was delicious!

We loved their stuffed mushrooms, salmon, chicken breast, their fluffy mashed potatoes and of course their steak.

LongHorn Steakhouse also has some great lunch specials starting at $7.99 and plenty of options for children on their kids menu.The lunch menu looks like a full menu with soups, salads, sandwiches, steaks and a full list of side dishes.

Make sure to give their appetizers a try too.  There are plenty of options and they won't disappoint.

Don't eat too much.  You'll want to save room for dessert. If you can't decide, give the Longhorn Dessert Sampler a try.  It comes with a shareable sampler of Chocolate Stampede, Caramel Apple Goldrush and Mountain Top Cheesecake.  All delicious!

Flash Back Friday: Home Again

By Beth Davis 

In the heart of Sugarhouse, where it seems there is something for everyone, there is an establishment that has something for everyone inside and some of it spills out on to the sidewalk. Home Again is not only my favorite consignment shop, it’s my favorite shop of any sort. I’ve been frequenting this mercantile as both buyer and seller for a decade.

Every time I walk through the door, it appears the entire shop has been restocked. That’s one aspect that sets Home Again apart as a successful consignment store, the turnover is quick and that benefits everyone.
The management has a knack for knowing what their customer base is and they take in items accordingly. I’ve found their prices to be fair as both a consigner and a purchaser, so I’m willing to take their advise on a price if I have items to unload. It’s in everyone’s best interest to keep it real. And, I’ve come across some screamin’ good deals over the years.

 
If I wander in to browse, I make a loop through the menagerie at least twice, once in each direction. Even then I know I miss a thing or two, but I also know it won’t be long before I’m back again.
I love the collection of mismatched styles, the mixture of old and new. The theme, if there is one, must be “something for everyone”.

Iron patio furniture, a pretty vase, candlesticks, a funky swag lamp, delicate stemware, original art, coffee table, end table, dining table & chairs, a set of shelves, a favorite book, and most recently a huge set of fine china, have all made their way from someone’s home, to the shop in sugarhouse, and finally to my place where they are Home Again. What could be better than that?

 A few years ago a new shop opened in Midvale. Two Locations, double the deals!

Tillamook Yogurt

Have you tried the new Tillamook yogurt?  Tillamook has been known for their delicious cheese, ice cream and other dairy products.  They are all very high quality products.  Their yogurt is no different.  It comes in both regular and light versions.


Tillamook uses only natural ingredients and only real fruit, no fructose corn syrup in their yogurt..

Tillamook yogurt comes in so many delicious flavors; light Dark Cherry, Marion berry, Lemon Squeeze, Pomegranate Blackberry, Baked Apple Pie, Country Orange Cream, Strawberry Lemonade, Watermelon and more.   We loved the Light Lemon Squeeze, Light Mountain Huckleberry, and the Passionfruit Orange Guava.  But really we didn't find a flavor we didn't like.

Check out the flavors for yourself here or more importantly at the grocery store.

Menchie's Frozen yogurt

You may think this would be a perfect place for the summer.  But, you won't want to wait that long until you try Menchie's.  Menchie's frozen yogurt comes in more flavors than you can count.  Each store has over 21 flavors each time you stop in and so many more you'll want to stop in frequently to try them all out.  Menchie's yogurt comes in nonfat, lowfat, tart, sorbet, no sugar added and low carb versions as well.

 Menchi's is a self serve yogurt shop.  First you pick your flavor (or flavors). 

Next head over to the topping area.  Again there are more choices than you can imagine; cookies, candy, sprinkles, nuts, more candy, cereal, and cookie dough.  

Then add some fresh, in season fruit.  don't forget to add some hot fudge, caramel or even pourable peanut butter.  Whatever you choose the possibilities are endless.

Lastly, place your yogurt creation on the scale to be weighed.  Menchie's charges by the ounce.

Menchie's has 2 locations in the Salt Lake Valley and 1 in Layton

Flash Back Friday: The Old Dutch Store

The Old Dutch Store in Salt Lake City specializes in hard to find Dutch, German and Scandinavian food, treats and gifts.  Inside you'll also find a great deli.  With their sandwiches made to order and a few tables inside, it's a great place to pickup lunch.

The market offers imported treats and gifts from all over Europe.  We loved the plush slippers that look like dutch wooden shoes, the bumper stickers from most every European country and the Dutch and German candies and cookies.

Stop in soon, or you can even order some of their food online.
