Chicago in July/August - The Meals, Episode 2

On Friday, we went to the Field Museum.  
Beautiful museum!  
On site, they have an eatery called the corner bakery cafe.  It's sorta like Panera... 


 I had a California panini.  Leyton is attempting to steal some chips... : )  
This panini consisted of tomatoes & artichoke hearts, and was definitely a different taste than I'm used to.  I didn't hate it - I ate the whole sandwich - but I wouldn't order it again on a return visit.  

 Dessert of these lovely pecan caramel pastries.  
Delicious!
Definitely would order again.  Just the right amount of nutty for my tastes!  

 Amazing croutons!  The salad was pretty good, too.  
Spinach & mixed greens, strawberries, grapes, oranges, pecans... 
And a strawberry vinegrette.  I liked one cup but not the other, so am wondering if they were made in different batches.  

 Leyton ate pretty much his whole salad, except the strawberries!  : )  
He even really liked the dressing.  
Mom & I weren't sure he would, since it's kinda a different taste.
(And also, he doesn't like strawberries, but will eat strawberry flavored things just fine?!) 

 There was a cheese spread for the croutons.
I want some, RIGHT NOW!  
They were crunchy and sweet, and with the cheese spread, they brought me over the moon!  


 Leyton's dessert - monstrous M&M cookie.  
It was tasty, but could feed a small village...
Yes, we all shared the cookie... LOL  



Leyton likes to, erm, commandeer other ppl's drinks.  
: )  
And we love to share!  

Haven't eaten here as of yet, but with a name like YANNI's, I'll have to try it eventually!!

Next up - Weber Grill, oh yes indeedy do!
