Carino's ... for my Italian loving friends

Hi Isa Friends,

I love going to lunch at Carino’s with the girls. I usually have the Minestrone soup and a Green salad with a refill on the salad. I just love their Sun-Dried Tomato Balsamic Vinaigrette. I knew I was in the 400-600 calorie range as I’d looked it up before we went the first time. I was thinking... I bet there are lots of other things I can eat. There sure are including a number of options with dessert.
