Mickey Mantle’s Restaurant

Mickey Mantle’s is an all american sports bar that also has a sit down section. We go here for the holidays every year. It’s one of my favorite traditions. As tradition, I always order the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak comes with a side of mashed potatoes, cream gravy, and mixed vegetables. The chicken fried steak was as crunchy and yummy as usual. My only complaint is that I think the steak has gotten smaller over the years. The chicken fried steak dipped in the gravy was so southern and homey. The mashed potatoes were moist and buttery. Also had the potato skins in there too (I like the skins because I usually have just smooth mashed potatoes, so this was a nice change). I loved the veggies! The beans and carrots were just crunchy and slightly salted. Overall, another great dinner. I’m looking forward to going back for the holidays this year.

Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressing

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program with Marzetti Simply Dressed, I received a coupon for a free bottle of Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressing. Marzetti Simply Dressed is made with a minimal number of all-natural ingredients, such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil (source of Omega-3 ALA) and sea salt, and does not contain any preservatives, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, MSG or artificial flavors or colors. There are 10 different varieties in the Simply Dressed line and all but 1 of them are gluten-free (Ginger Sesame).

 

I absolutely love Marzetti products and definitely wanted to try their Simply Dressed line. I picked up the Ranch Simply Dressed Salad Dressing but instead of using it in a salad, I used it as a dip with some raw vegetables (we had some leftover veggies from cooking dinner). We dipped celery and red and green bell peppers. The Ranch dressing was super light and really flavorful. It tasted very tasty and natural looking, and not overwhelming.

 

Have you tried any of Marzetti’s Simple Dressed dressings? What did you think?
