Do you have a favorite to order at the Cheesecake Factory? I've never been but know so many friends who absolutely love that place!
I agree with you about COVID lockdown changes too. Making sure we get plenty of activity definitely helps soothe anxiety and reduce stress. Heaven knows we need the uplifting of our spirits these days.
Thank you again for your mention and for sharing your heart with all of us. Many blessings to you!
Many Thanks Holly , your comments always brighten up my day. Yes the community has been a great support always. It is my pleasure to share the fantastic work that you create. I appreciate your support .
At Cheesecake factory , I always end up ordering Thai curry, salmon or bang bang shrimp where as kids order pastas and burgers so we end up trying everything and eating too much whenever we go there 🙂
True we need to take care of ourselves all the more in these times even if it just means a walk or exercise. Thank you for the encouragement as always and the blessings . Wishing you and yours the very best !
Congratulations! Keep up the awesome work!
Many Thanks for your kind words!
You're so welcome!
