Yay For Ruby Tuesday !!!
During the three weeks I was off from work, my days centered around the gym, and eating at least one meal at Ruby Tuesday.
Even before I was diagnosed, I had noticed that they have introduced a low-carb menu. My nutrionist wants me to eat something "green and leafy" at least once a day. RT has a great salad bar, and I was able to take advantage of the low carb menu items.
My new favorite... the mashed cauliflower. Yeah, I thought it sounded disgusting at first, but everyone I have gotten to try it loves it. Throw on a little black pepper, and it really does blow away mashed potatoes (one of the bad carbs for diabetics).
So I'm real happy with RT. They are opening a new location soon right in front of the IBM plant in Poughkeepsie where I work. I shall have my Friday lunches there.
I think it's a matter of time before most eating establishments introduce healthier menus. Yes, it's great to eat shee-shee-poo-poo French type cooking once in a while, but not on a daily basis if you live the typical sedantary American lifestyle.
