For me it is the following:
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Drinker: Not only do I love coffee, but I LOVE coffee shops. My particular weakness right now is Pumpkin Spice Lattes. How can I get this quickly and sans major calories?I looked online and found a few recips that suggest adding a dash of pumpkin space to your coffee. Can it really be this simple???
Dinner on the Orient Express: At least once every other week, I love to order Chinese food. I'm either too lazy to cook or just have a craving. I hear Kung Pao chicken is good because it's steamed, however there is often a heavy sauce that concerns me. So, what should I order?Date night: My boyfriend and I eat out at least once a week. This is not something I want to give up, so I need to pre-plan and figure out the smart choices to make. We don't go to chain restaurants much so nutritional information is usually not available. What are some safe choices (and please don't say dinner salad)?
Beer and loathing: Another thing my boyfriend and I enjoy is tasting beers. I don't drink to get drunk, I drink to savor flavor. Basically, I stick to one beer whenever we go out to dinner. But what beers are safe? I don't drink Bud, Coors or Miller if I can help it. Looks like I need to make a list of beers and their calories and take it with me when we go out. Hmmm. One note: I drink beer during football games - how can you not? But, most of the time we make buffalo wings for dinner and I was shocked to find out how low calorie and low fat buffalo wings are! Yay!
As far as the healthy choice at restaurants go...ask the server. They usually know if there is something that sounds healthier than it is or if something is secretly dripping in butter. They can also tell you what can be modified to make a healthier choice.
