What AOT characters order from Olive Garden

Includes any apps, drinks and desserts!

Levi -Hange gets him to try a margarita. He hates it, and somehow gets herbal tea that's not on the menu. Chicken & gnocchi soup, eats half a breadstick. Steals some of Erwins and Hanges app when offered. Gets the grilled chicken margherita with the pesto lemon garlic sauce. Asks for a side of angel hair and marinara. Isn't going to get a dessert but winds up splitting the zeppoli with Miche.

Hange - Amaretto sour and water to drink. Zuppa toscana soup and a couple breadsticks. Gets Shrimp fritto misto to start and passes the plate around. Gets the 6oz sirloin steak with the fettuccine alfredo side and lots of cheese. Brings home a piece of black tie mousse cake.

Erwin - A red wine and a water, pasta fagioli soup, one breadstick. Orders spinach-artichoke dip for whoever wants. Levi and Miche do. Gets the eggplant parmigiana, asks for meat sauce on the spaghetti, adds broccoli and mushrooms. Gets tiramisu for dessert.

Miche - A couple beers, then a coke, lots of salad and breadsticks, with a marinara dipping sauce for them. Gets a large plate of chicken and shrimp carbonara, with creamy sauce and lots of bacon. Finishes with zeppoli donuts and asks who wants some.

Eren - Coke to drink, chicken & gnocchi soup, two breadsticks, plus gets calamari and shares with Armin. Does the create your own pasta bowl with spaghetti and meat sauce, adding meatballs for topping. Gets a trio of dolcini to share with Armin and Mikasa (let's pretend those are still on the menu) gets the dark chocolate cake flavor.

Armin - Sprite to drink, salad with lots of dressing to dip the breadsticks in, and the shared calamari. Can't decide between chicken and shrimp alfredo, finally gets chicken. Gets the limoncello mousse dolcini.

Mikasa - Bellini peach raspberry iced tea, salad and a couple breadsticks. Gets fried mozzarella sticks but only eats a couple. Saves her appetite for the giant stuffed shells with extra cheese. Finishes with the strawberry and white chocolate cream cake dolcini.

Sasha - Gets a coke to drink, then you know she's ordering the never ending pasta bowl! Might ask for the spicy zuppa toscana soup to hold her over, and dip her breadsticks in. Orders rigatoni, then angel hair twice, with meat sauce, creamy mushroom, and meat sauce again. Adds meatballs, shrimp, then chicken to top. Doesn't understand why she can't order more to take home. Does take home the chocolate brownie lasagna.

Jean - Mango strawberry iced tea, minestrone soup, one breadstick, gets the toasted ravioli as an app but Sasha and Connie take most of it. Gets the classic fettucine alfredo, asks for extra cheese and adds asparagus. Gets strawberry cheesecake for dessert and won't let anyone else touch it.

Connie- Tries to get a spiked lemonade, doesn't work so gets Dr Pepper, with pasta fagioli soup. Stuffed ziti fritta as an app, has to stop Sasha from eating most of it so Jean can have some too. Gets the Tour of Italy so he can have bits of chicken parmigiana, lasagna, AND fettuccine alfredo. Gets the zeppoli donuts and chocolate sauce and shares with Historia.*

Historia - Lemonade to drink, soup, salad and breadsticks for dinner. Switches between the minestrone and chicken & gnocchi soup. Finishes off the salad with added cheese and one breadstick. Takes a couple fried mozzarella sticks from Mikasa. Wants the pumpkin cheesecake but it's not in season. Is happy when Connie offers her the donuts.*

Tell us, who are you sitting next to? AKA, whose food are you stealing?

What's up guys? So I know what you're thinking, why on earth would I want to order pizza from Papa John's with their recent issues in the news? Well, it's simple really. Our house boycotted them for a good two months then upon hearing that the CEO had been removed decided the company as a whole isn't at fault for one man's comments. Basically, it's not a big deal anymore as the issue has been rectified so that's all I'll say on that. I wanted to update you guys on the vegan options at Papa John's! Breadsticks are now vegan! Or possibly were always vegan but i just never noticed before?? 🤔 All the pizza sauces are vegan except the spinach alfredo sauce. The crusts are vegan except for the thin crust and the gluten free crust. We also have the special seasoning packet, crushed red pepper packet, buffalo dipping sauce, bbq dipping sauce, pizza dipping sauce and garlic dipping sauce. As always, please try to remember to check their website if you're concerned about any outdated menu items listed here! What I had: Large mushroom and tomato pizza no cheese and extra sauce plus a garlic dipping sauce cup Breadsticks with pizza dipping sauce

Kid Friendly Dinner Recipes

With the a fresh new year to celebrate, I know a lot of people are doing their best to get back to a routine, and particularly to get back to good family dinners after the treat-filled holiday season.   Today I’m going to share recipe ideas, specifically dinner recipes, that readers have shared are a hit with their children and Kate and I personally recommend from our families, too!  I’m hoping you’ll find a few of what I call Unicorn Meals- ones that the entire family loves.  If I were you I’d consider bookmarking this page.   Click on each recipe title to see the full recipe post, and we’ve also added a permanent section in our recipe index full of kid favorites.  Enjoy!

Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs

Since this recipe inspired the list, I have to include it!  Buttery and crispy, this is so quick and easy to prepare. I pair it with a simple green salad with our favorite Ranch Dressing, and maybe some fruit on the side. Easy Peasy.

The Best Chicken Enchiladas

I know.  It’s a bold statement.  These don’t have a traditional red sauce; they’re made with a from-scratch easy creamy sauce.  Not spicy, with just the right amount of cheese, this is a family favorite for sure!  We love this with a side of rice, or a salad with this Lime-Cilantro Ranch Dressing. And if you really want to complete the meal, make a pitcher of this Limeade, too!

Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Casserole

No one complains about broccoli when we eat this, which is kind of a miracle.  Comforting and cheesy, this recipe is gold.  Pair it with a salad or fruit, or a toasty piece of garlic bread.  You can prep this ahead of time which makes it even better. 

Bacon Ranch Chicken Sliders

Easy to prep ahead and great for smaller hands.  These make a great snack or turn it into dinner with your favorite side dish.

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Can’t touch a classic.  

Meatball Subs

If spaghetti and meatballs are good, meatballs on bread are, too!

Beef Stroganoff

Creamy sauce, tender steak, and noodles.  If your kids don’t like mushrooms you can leave them out, or chop them up small so they don’t notice!  And if all else fails, you can enjoy the tender beef and the kids can have hot buttered noodles 🙂

Cheesy Grilled Pizza Sandwiches 

All the flavors of kid-friendly pizza, but in hot grilled sandwich form.  These are awesome paired with a bowl of tomato soup for dipping or along side a salad to round it out.

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

These are one of the most popular recipes on our site.  We love to make a double (or triple!) batch and stock taquitos in the freezer for a quick-fix dinner everyone loves

Cowboy Quesadillas

This recipe has been on the site for years and years and it’s one that comes up over and over again when people are talking about their family favorites.  This one doubles as a great appetizer, too!

Guiltless Alfredo

This mild, creamy, cheesy sauce is magical.  It can be used over pasta or as a dip for vegetables, as a pizza sauce or used to dunk breadsticks.  The uses are endless, but kids love the creamy familiar flavor and parents love the lighter-take!

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

These are a knock-off of our favorite chain-restaurant nuggets.  They have an unexpected secret ingredient that adds so much flavor!  The delicate breading is a hit with both kids and adults.  Dunk these in your favorite dip, or toss them over a salad.  Either way you’ll have happy campers.

We’d love to hear YOUR family favorites!
