trying to decide where to take my family for our weekly family dinner, Seasons 52 popped in my mind.\u00a0 I love the friendly atmosphere and seasonally inspired menu, not to mention the &#8216;nothing over 475 calories&#8217; healthy concept.<\/p>\n<p>The fall menu is what currently being served.\u00a0 Of course we couldn&#8217;t pass on the famous flatbread. \u00a0Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Flatbread with grilled pineapple, feta cheese and roasted poblano peppers was very good.\u00a0 The Lamb Gyro paled in comparison.\u00a0 I tasted mostly feta cheese.<\/p>\n<p><img

lettuce, sundried cranberries, jicama and white balsamic vinaigrette so much that I just had to get it again.\u00a0 In fact, I can eat this everyday!\u00a0 I wish I had the recipe for the

eat pork medium?\u00a0 Well, apparently you could.\u00a0 These pieces were very tender.\u00a0 However, once the accompanying sauce were gone (absorbed by mash potato), the meat was pretty bland.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-977\" title=\"Collages13\"

really good.\u00a0 She convinced me to try a piece and it was delicious!\u00a0 They were big and tender and very flavorful!\u00a0 I think I will take my mom here next time because I know she will enjoy it, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-974\" title=\"Collages10\"
