When Gabriela reached out to me about getting together for dinner while she is vacationing in Orlando this week, I jumped at the chance to meet her and grab dinner with some of my favorite bloggers.
Since she is staying near the amusement parks, we all decided to meet at Season’s 52, one of my all-time favorite restaurants that is conveniently located about halfway between downtown Orlando and the Disney area. My hot dates for the evening included Gabriela and Meghann… …and Megan and Katy! It was a fun bunch!
We spent some time chatting before ordering our meals. I flip flopped back and forth over whether or not to order the quail. An unusual bird, but hey, I’m game! (<—Any one pick up on my pun? 😉 ) I’m glad I decided to order outside of the box tonight because this meal was delicious! The quail was served with mashed sweet potatoes and an assortment of green veggies. I practically licked my plate clean. This tends to happen when I visit Season’s 52… After dinner, we headed to Menchie’s to meet up with Katy, Jeanette, Bess and Kiran for some frozen yogurt.
I ate a bit before snapping a picture, but my mix included red velvet, cake batter, cookies ‘n’ cream and tart frozen yogurt topped with whipped cream, strawberries, kiwi, Kit Kat pieces, cookie dough and mocha toffee bits.Quite the hodge podge, but I enjoyed every bite! Special thanks to Katy for picking up the tab on my froyo. They only accepted cash and I’m a card-carrying kinda girl!
I bet I could eat Season’s 52 entrees and frozen yogurt for dessert every single night for the rest of my life and feel perfectly content. I was a happy camper as I drove home this evening!
Now I’m blogging in bed as Ryan and Sadie are sleeping beside me. They’re a cute lil’ duo. Time to join my little family and get some rest for FRIDAY tomorrow. Woo!
G’night, friends!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says

Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Looks like so much fun!
When I was in Orlando last weekend for the Disney 1/2 I was going to have a blogger- meet up at Seasons 52, but they didn’t have a time slot until SUPER late… no bueno for the girl who ran 13.1 miles starting at 5:30 in the morning. We went elsewhere… but next time I’m in Orlando, I will be going to Seasons 52! It looks DELICIOUS! 😀
Chelsea @ Strawberry Sweat says
Looks delicious!! I may be in Orlando in June–hopefully I will be able to finally eat at Seasons 52 (and hopefully meet all of my favorite Orlando bloggers too!!).

Gillian says
I ventured out and had quail at a French restaurant last month and loved it as well! It was served with a fruit chutney and I was really impressed, I’d love to try making it for a dinner party!
I would love to come to Orlando to try this restaurant and meet all you beautiful ladies, looks like fun!!
Shannon says
Glad to see you tried the quail and enjoyed it. I *won* 24 quail from marxfoods a few months back and though excited to create something with it, I haven’t yet taken the plunge!
Hope says
The blogger meet up looked like a ton of fun! Quail? You are very brave trying that. I don’t think I am brave enough to try something like that. Love the frozen yogurt! Looks so yummy!
Leanne @ For Health's Sake says
I laughed so hard at your pun.
🙂
Anna says
What does “order out of the box” mean? Do you mean outside the box?
peanutbutterfingers says
changed! sorry for the mistake.
Kathie @ Frugal, Fit and Fabulous says
I live in Southern New Jersey and it really bothers me that we have no frozen yogurt shops in or around my area. =/
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
I’m from South Jersey! Are you anywhere near Medford? 🙂
Kathie @ Frugal, Fit and Fabulous says
I am over in Westville. Right off of 295 actually. Alil bit of a hike but not terrible..too far for frozen yogurt tho. LOL!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
omgoodness, I’m so jealous. 😉

peanutbutterfingers says
i said that last night & no one knew what i was talking about!
Lisa @ Treadmill Runner says
Loved the pun!
So this may be trivial, but how do you make the smiley faces? I remember back in the day I used them on AIM and I thought you had to push ctrl and/or some other button.
I’m new to blogging – Thanks!
This is the best I got right now – 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
i like you did it in the above comment! just to a colon and a parenthesis & they should happen naturally!
Chicago Cuisine Critique says
Sounds like a fabulous night. I love Seasons 52. I wish there was one a bit closer. All of their food is to die for, it’s no wonder that even something as different as quail was delicious.
Michelle says
See now you get to link your friends to their blogs too!
peanutbutterfingers says
woooooo! i’m cool!!! 😉
Amber K says
Who in the world doesn’t accept cards these days? Insanity 😉
Nathan Miller says
Quail is good, a bit fatty, Pheasant is even better!
Brittany says
I loved seasons 52 last time I went! looks like a very fun night out and ice cream? ALWAYS a perfect ending to the night
