When you need the night off from cooking, it's okay to head to your favorite family restaurant. Here are some typically healthy options to look for on the menu:
- Broth-based soups with lots of vegetables
- Salad with dark greens such as romaine, spinach or red leaf lettuce with oil-based dressing or olive oil and vinegar
- Shrimp cocktail
- Grilled chicken strips dipped in hot sauce
- Grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato
- Grilled chicken or shrimp skewers
- Baked potato topped with salsa, mashed potatoes without gravy, or brown rice
- Steamed vegetables side dish
- Fruit ice, small scoop of ice cream or sherbet, or share a dessert among the group
