Hi Everyone & Happy Tuesday!
If you're thinking that my page looks a little different than the last time you viewed it, you're right! The past couple of weeks I've been looking at all types of new blog designs and yesterday, I finally took the plunge. When I first started blogging, I new absolutely nothing about it, so I found a blog design that I liked and stuck with it. Now that I'm finally getting the hang of things, I decided that I needed something a little more personal, a little more Melody! I hope you love the new look around here:) I've still got some things in the works!

Today, I'm linking up with Rachel over at Just Peachy for Top 5 Tuesday!
This Tuesday's topic: Recipes!
I'm going to be honest with you all and let you know that I DO NOT cook. There, I said it. It's not that I don't want to, just that I'm putting it off for a while. On another note, I do LOVE to eat. Even though I'm not whipping up these dishes myself, I thought I'd make this post a little unique and tell you my favorite dishes in each of the categories, as well as where to get them!
Favorite Appetizer
Lettuce Wraps from P.F Chang's
I had this amazing dish for the first time this past summer and fell in love. I honestly crave these things. Have any of you had them? I know they have to be one of their most popular dishes. No sauce added and hold the water chestnuts...total perfection.
Favorite Side Dish
Loaded Baked Potato Soup from Chili's
I'm not sure if this counts as a side dish, but I love a little cup of soup with my meal. I discovered this particular soup from Chili's in August of last year. I've also tried their Chicken Tortilla Soup and it was great. If you haven't tried this favorite of mine, you definitely need to! A small bowl cost just under $4 and you can mix it with a side salad and a drink for about $10.
Yummy!
Favorite Main Dish
Grilled Atlantic Salmon from Outback Steakhouse
I love seafood and salmon is one of my favorites. I like the flavor and I think the price is very reasonable for what you get. I've tried salmon at a variety of different restaurants that aren't necessarily "seafood restaurants," and Outback takes the cake.
Favorite Dessert
Assorted cheesecakes from Our Daily Bread
If you ever have the pleasure of traveling to Boone, North Carolina, Our Daily Bread is a restaurant that you need to try, especially if you like an variety of homemade desserts, all served in large portions. When President Obama passed through Boone a few months ago, he even made time to stop at this cute little spot. I've been to this restaurant on multiple occasions and they have some of the best cheesecake I've ever had. Think strawberry, chocolate, Oreo. Ah-mazing!
Favorite Drink
There is nothing that I love more than an ice-cold fountain Coke from McDonalds. This is my and Jake's guilty pleasure!
What are your Top 5 Tuesday Recipes/Dishes? What do you think of mine?
I have to admit, I'm hungry just thinking about them!

I love the loaded mashed potatoes at Chili's, I'll have to try the soup! My parents had Our Daily Bread last time they were in Boone and loved it!
I love PF Changs lettuce wraps! They are so good! I would have to say anything fish or seafood related is on my top 5! There is a restaurant in Lacrosse WI that has the most amazing scallops, I could seriously eat a plate of them for dinner! And Steamed mussels are also a fav.!
Yum!! This just made me super hungry! I definitely have to agree with you on the PF Changs lettuce wraps. Kevin worked there in high school and college, so we go there all the time! I actually think we're going to lunch today because I'm craving some now! :)
