Eat Dinner While Watching a Movie at Star Cinema Grill

December 10, 2015 by

The old-fashioned dinner-and-a-movie date gets a modern twist at Star Cinema Grill, a combination restaurant and cinema that’s perfect for a relaxing evening out. This modern movie theater shows all of the latest blockbuster films as soon as they come out, including romantic comedies, action flicks and even children’s movies that the little ones will love.

In addition to the movies, Star Cinema Grill offers a full menu of tasty American dishes, snacks and desserts more than makes up for it. Caramel popcorn, pulled pork sandwiches, shrimp salads and many other options are served on the spacious tables in front of each row of seats, and although they’re delivered by theater employees throughout the movie, service is very discreet. Adults can even enjoy beer, wine and cocktails, creating a truly luxurious experience that you won’t find at just any movie theater.

Carrabba’s Italian Grill: Tasty Italian Fare

December 3, 2015 by

One of the leading casual dining chains in America right now is Carrabba’s Italian Grill. Founded by two men from Texas who wanted to share the joy of flavorful, inexpensive Italian food with the world, it’s grown rapidly since incorporating in 1986 and now boasts hundreds of locations around the country. The fare is solid and well-prepared.

Start your meal with one of their can’t-miss appetizers – they have a menu of five delectable choices for just five dollars each. The lightly fried zucchini is quite good, as is the bacon and caramelized onion flatbread. For entrees, regulars rave about the chicken Bryan – wood-grilled chicken served with sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, fresh basil and lemon butter. Meats and fish from the grill are a specialty, with sirloin marsala and a hazelnut-breaded tilapia both drawing raves. Their pastas are also good, with the oven-baked manicotti a favorite.

Check Out These Surprising Health Benefits of Autumn’s Favorite Crop, Apples!

November 19, 2015 by

Apples are some of the most delicious types of fall produce, but they’re also packed with vitamins and nutrients that do your body some good. If you needed another reason to justify that second (or third) piece of apple pie, you’ll love this list of the many health benefits of apples.

  1. Cardiovascular health. The beneficial phytonutrients found in apples function as antioxidants and decrease the oxidation of cell membranes in the cardiovascular system. Quercetin, which is found mainly in the apple’s skin, is its main phytonutrient, but apples also contain chlorogenic acid, kaempferol and myricetin.
  2. Blood sugar regulation. The polyphenols in apples are also thought to help regulate blood sugar because they influence digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, reduce glucose absorption and stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin.
  3. Cancer prevention. Amazingly, apples have also been shown to prevent several types of cancers. They are even the only fruit or vegetable that’s been shown to prevent lung cancer.
  4. Asthma treatment. If you suffer from asthma, you may want to reach for an apple before your inhaler from now on. Apples contain a number of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients that work wonders on human lungs and have even been shown to decrease asthma symptoms.
