All you can eat.

Actually, I take that back. That phrase would be, all you can eat, on sale!

Oh yeah!

Ben and I had taken an unplanned hiatus from visiting our local grocery store’s (Hy-Vee) all you can eat salad bar, but we were back in full force tonight.

The lettuce was fresh…

The topping possibilities were endless…

and the fruit – oh the fruit! – ripe and sweet as can be!

I made myself a massive salad platter, chock full of good-for-me greens, protein packed toppers and sweet bursts of berries.

See?

I love seeing & eating colorful things like this, after a weekend of burgers and chocolate cake!

Topped off with some Balsamic Vinaigrette.

I’ve also found a couple pasta salads that I dig. They aren’t the nasty, slimy, typical pasta salads you’d find at most grocery stores. These were zippy and flavorful. Plus, one of them had cheese cubes. I love cheese cubes!

The Chicken Tortilla Soup was spicy and savory as usual,

but the berries really blew my mind. All you can eat for $4.99?! How does this place stay in business?

Each blissful bite was more delicious than the last, and I honestly don’t think I got a bad berry in the bunch!

There was some juicy, tropical pineapple wedged down in there too. I gobbled those right up.

I AM SO FULL RIGHT NOW! Good full though, not greasy, Chinese food full. Know what I mean?

I’m going to go turn on the Bachelorette and drift off to sleep. Working out in the mornings definitely has its perks, but it sure makes a sista tired!!

Goodnight!
