Hi There! I’m so glad that you stopped by for quick bite! Well, at least maybe I’ll make you a bit hungry after this post.
So why is it everyone I see says they just can’t eat healthy when they go out for lunch or breakfast or dinner. Bah! Humbug I say! Where’s your spirit of adventure? Where’s that quest for the 66 lb. turkey hanging out in the market? Will it take a Bob Marley to lead you by the hand to find the good out there? No I say ………Okay, I got carried away a bit, he, he…. But seriously folks, you can eat well at restaurants. You just have to look close at the menu and become educated.
Now I’ll post some well known restaurant menus items in a future article so you can really see what you’re eating, but look at the few things I found below.
Waking up early here on the Sun Coast, hopping in my little convertible and blasting over the St. Armand circle bridge I head to a favorite of mine, “The Blue Dolphin”. Two of my favorite people in all of Sarasota, Pam and Alex greet me warmly as I enter the small café’. Well known in all of Sarasota for having some of the best breakfast fare around, I quickly find a seat before the rush sets in. Pam slides in the booth with me and we enjoy catching up on what’s been happening and the news of her daughter and such. Pam knows my order by heart and places it with the chef. So you see in the picture a huge omelet with egg whites, spinach and tomatoes. Oh my gosh! The taste is incredible! They must use 8 to 10 egg whites and I literally have to be wheeled from the café’. Order a side of whole grain toast and you’ll be sure to start your day off right. Now just do the same at your local café’.
For lunch I find a local restaurant serving a mix of American fare. Once again treated like a King,
they seat me in a booth by the window and promptly take my order. This time I’ve ordered fish tacos. Now at one time I really wasn’t a fan of these, but have quickly caught on. Halibut, shredded cabbage tomato, and their sauce on tortilla. Okay, now the tortilla and sauce could be nixed, but I generally only eat one with the tortilla and the rest I leave on the plate. Sometimes I do sacrifice a tad, but all in all it was a great lunch with not too much to be guilty for.
For dinner I found Vino E Pasta. The owner and maitre d’ seats me in the corner. Now is that the power table or is the center table in the room, hmmm. Ordering snapper, grilled with tomatoes, herbs and onions, with a side of pasta I complete my day of eating out with a renewed since that I can do this and still eat well. Once again I forgo most of the pasta so I’m left with a very healthy meal and getting some of those Omega 3’s that we all need.
So can you do it? Do you want to do it? That’s the question. Do you think that triple burger from Wendy’s and being super sized with the fries and cola are going to get you to the weight you’re looking for? Well if that weight is upwards than be my guest.
But don’t be surprised some December night, late, late at night you hear a rattling sound, a chain clunking down the hallway, mist rolling under your door and you find me materializing right in front of you saying in a loud voice what your life could have been like if you had only chosen the right path.
