Giving Chick Fil A Another Try

My husband had a hankering for Chick Fil A yesterday for dinner. We haven’t been there for quite some time. For a particular irritating medical reason my husband can no longer eat hot and spicy along with coffee and chocolate, among other things. So we thought we would give it a try again anyway. He couldn’t get his spicy chicken sandwich so he got the regular chicken with pickles. I got the spicy salad, along with a side of macaroni and cheese, chicken soup, French fries and of course, the peach milkshake - another item he can’t eat. It was fun to go through the motions again. The app is very easy to use and curbside pickup is very straight forward. Once we got home and got everything laid out it was obvious why we haven’t been back for such a long time. Everything we get from restaurants is just too salty, and that’s not good if you have high blood pressure. Plus everything just looks so unhealthy - but also tastes quite good. But we are always sorry we go after the fact and are reminded why. It will probably be a while before we go back - if ever. We find that what we cook at home just tastes better and is better for us. But every once in a while it’s okay to “splurge” - or is it?

Chick Fil A Milkshake

It was simply delicious! We haven’t had one since I can remember. Every once in a while we will drive to Chick fil a for a chicken sandwich snd chicken salad. This time I looked at the drinks on the app searching for the peach milkshake. I couldn’t find it and was a bit disappointed. But before I checked out I checked the menu one more time thinking the milkshake must be under a different category than drinks. And it was. Milkshakes are located under treats. Since I had heard about the peach milkshake I thought that was all they had - but I was wrong. They had vanilla, and strawberry, and a few more. I didn’t have to look any further. I asked my husband which flavor he preferred and he said strawberry. So I went with strawberry and we weren’t disappointed! When the food was delivered to the car I could see the drink coming. It was topped with whipped cream and a cherry. But before I could get a photo I accidentally knocked the cherry off. With the first gulp I knew it would be gone before we got home. I’m sure it tasted so good because it was hot and we rarely have milkshakes. So we shared the one milkshake between us making it feel less bad. It’s something worth having once in a while.
