The Cheesecake Factory Review!

Don't cross The Cheesecake Factory off of your list completely! Yes, the cheesecake may be ultra indulgent, but I assure that the SkinnyLicious® items are more calorie friendly than you might think. 

Feeling spicy after a Saturday shopping trip to Barnes and Noble, I picked the SkinnyLicious® Soft Tacos. The corn tortillas were soft and sweet and filled with spicy chicken, avocado, tomato, onions, and cilantro. I also prompted for no crema to skim on the fat. Possibly the best part of this meal was the side. The side escabeche vegetables were superbly crisp and drizzled in a savory, light vinaigrette.

Of course, prior to chowing down on the tacos, I sampled the lightened up version of the chicken potstickers, The oriental dumplings come lightly pan-fried in and in a pool of The Cheesecake Factory's Soy-Ginger Sesame Sauce. Soy sauce tends to be on the salty side, but this sauce was perfectly seasoned.

You cannot go to The Cheesecake Factory without getting cheesecake. There would be no point! So, my solution to eating any  fattening dessert is to SHARE it. Yes, sharing dessert may be hard, but more times than not, restaurants serve twice the recommended amount. So, you don't have to pick the lackluster, sugar-free cheesecake. Pick what you want: chocolate mousse, strawberry, kahlua, banana cream (my fave.)  Just make sure you are splitting it with one or two others, or if you are dining alone, wrap it up for another day.

Remember to spread the cheesecake glory and SHARE!
