If you’ve ever been to Hollywood Beach, you know the boardwalk has a ton of restaurants with quite a variety of cuisines.
Greek
3rd Street Diner
This morning we went out for a late breakfast with a friend. It wasn’t planned so we just searched for a random location and this happened to be it.

| This the the awning outside… so you get the jist of their “decorations”. |
Super quick description: Greek, diner, regular-tasting, lots of seating, and overall not fantastic (food), service was fine.

The Menu – one of the obvious signs this is an “old” place.
There is some definite wear and tear on these.
I had pancakges, eggs, hash browns, bacon, and orange juice (basic diner test plate) and everything tasted authentically “diner-ish” . Greasy – nothing extraordinary about it.
It wasn’t the worst experience, but it is unlikely that we will ever return.

Easy lunch that will keep all week in the fridge!
I read this article on thedailymuse.com and I was just shocked that I hadn’t discovered this great way to make a lunch (Link to article below).
I’ve tried almost all the recipes, but my favorite remains to be the Caprese Pasta Salad. Mine is pictured below.
Caprese Pasta Salad Ingredients (as per article)
- 2 tbsp basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 ½ oz fresh mozzarella, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 2 oz cooked penne pasta
- ½ cup fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
My reason for sharing is simply how easy to prep these are. I prepared these on Sunday and here I am eating it at work for lunch on Friday – tastes great every day of the week. It’s filling, but also tastes so fresh and healthy.

I’ve been feeling a little health conscious these days. Planning meals (lunches especially) has become a bit of a hobby. Here’s what a sample lunch looks like for me these days. The nutritional information is below in case anyone was wondering – not sure how healthy it really is. But it’s good 🙂
The nutritional information was gathered by using Sparkpeople.com – a weight loss/healthy social networking website I’ve been part of since 2007.
