Chinese: Green Tea…Yum. I love beef and broccoli and sweet & sour chicken
Sushi: not a sushi girl
Italian: I used to LOVE Italian but alas Gluten makes it difficult to find anywhere good. However when I did enjoy going out for Italian I liked Enza’s and Spinach Manicotti
Mexican: Mexican all day. Tacos are my favorite. Salsa’s, Chuy’s, La Nop…I can eat tacos anytime.
