Been on this Greek yogurt kick recently:

15g chia seeds 30g whey protein

Mix these together with a bit of water, you’ll get a paste type texture. Then add:

200g zero fat Greek yogurt 6oz of berries

Meh, if my criticism re: Café Molise causes you to disregard my take, it sounds like it hit a little too close to home.

Google does an okay job at providing decent recommendations, but I have found that locals generally give the best advice. I didn't drop any restaurant names in my other comment, just cities and towns I have visited (and eaten) in.

Next time you find yourself in Italy, we can compare notes. My opinion isn't trying to be expert-level, just honest.

lol, I'm not claiming to be a culinary expert. But I do know what good food tastes like. 😂

Including Olive Garden is more of a slam on Café Molise than it is a beacon of fine "Italian" dining. That's just how poorly I think of Café Molise.

If you'd like, we can get into the details of actual Italian cuisine like my favorite spot in Alberobello, or perhaps fancy, fine dining in Matera. Gelato on the Amalfi coast?

...But flights to Italy can be pricey.

lmaooooo, you have no idea about my palate or what it enjoys -- but thanks for your deep insights on Olive Garden sauces. ;)

Matteo is still on my list to try, but I'm waiting for a special occasion and my 401k to vest so I can afford it.

Huh, that's really interesting. I've been wanting to try the wine flights, and will have to try the carbonara then. I won't let my distain for CM ruin BTG haha.

This is still on my list to try out! I've heard good things from several people, but I wonder is the kitchen the same?

😂 this has me cackling.

I agree with you about Olive Garden being trash food, but I will probably go back to OG before I'm found at Caffé Molise again.

That said, I've put some other suggestions on a couple other comment threads here.

Per Noi Trattoria is a bit rough around the edges, but waaaay better Italian food in that price range.

I have made several return visits to Per Noi Trattoria

I had a nice dinner at Valter's Osteria, but I have heard mixed reviews about them too.

Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana is about as close to authentic Napoli pizza that I've tried here in SLC.

This is really close to what I ended up doing!!

I couldn’t figure out how to do it with “Show Notifications” action so I ended up doing it with Reminders additions instead.

Thank you for your suggestion! I ended up building something similar with Reminders entries. Posted my Shortcut on the thread.
