So, tonight, Andy and I escaped the house for a bit (man, I love that Ridgeline) and made our way up to Polaris Parkway for some dinner. We haven't really been out to dinner in a long time aside from picking up Chipotle bols here and there. Anyway, we decided we'd venture out to our fave 'za joint, Mellow Mushroom. Normally, we'd split an order of garlic and parmesan pretzel twists and follow that up with a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Tonight, however, we ordered salads. Andy got the Brutus salad which is a Caesar salad with jerk chicken and grilled portabellas and red peppers. I got a "make your own salad" with spring mix, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, feta cheese and jerk chicken. I also ordered their esperanza salad dressing, which I love... however, I didn't use but two fork dips of it. The jerk chicken, light sprinkling of feta and all those yummy veggies provided enough flavor that I quickly realized I didn't need the dressing at all.
WOW.
So, yeah, super healthy dinner... and no carbs whatsoever, which is good because I kinda overdid it on the carbs earlier today when I sat and snacked on some pretzels because I needed something salty and crunchy. Cravings can suck.
My, what a long way we've come...
And you know what? I didn't even miss the 'za. (OK, well maybe just a little, but I certainly didn't leave feeling cheated!)
