Monster Migraines: Absolutely Zero
I am definitely a coffee girl through and through. However, there are times that I want zero calories and/or a quick pick me up with some vitamin power! I found Monster Absolutely Zero when my husband started drinking Monster on a regular basis. His schedule is so crazy, he needed something that could give him energy and not harm his health.

Seasons 52 – {Altamonte Springs, FL}

I am happy to tell you that I STILL do! It was fabulous. The service was on point. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and kept our drinks full. The food was absolutely delicious! We shared an appetizer: Lump Crab, Roasted Shrimp & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms under Parmesan-panko crust. I asked if the shrimp was wild caught because I am allergic to farm raised, and YAY it was! This was DELICIOUS! We got the same entrée, and it was: Oak-Grilled Filet Mignon cremini mushrooms, rainbow carrots, asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. YUM! And, shocking that it was not over 475 calories (keep reading for more on that)! It was one of the BEST filets I have ever had. Seriously. Then, even though their desserts are "mini indulgences", we still decided to share one (I was getting full!), and picked … [Read more...]
