Eating Out

So eating out is a big problem when you are on such a restricted diet. This week is really busy for us with my husband's cousin getting married and having family in town. I'm playing the piano for the wedding and my husband is an usher so that meant rehearsal dinner. We didn't get a chance to eat before the dinner so that meant we went to Tutta Bella Pizzeria (good but ugh!) hungry. They brought out a salad with mozzerela cheese, tomatoes and a wonderful vinagrette and I got even more grumpy. I kept saying that I wasn't going to eat until my husband decided he couldn't wait any longer so talked to the waiter. We were able to order a salad with artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, red onions, carrots, and basil. I used olive oil as a dressing with a squirt of lemon. My husband got to have chicken on his. Needless to say we stopped by Trader Joes on the way home to get some snacks and lunch materials. And, still hungry when I got home, I ate a bowl of cereal. Tonight we're going out to Chinese with the family--at least I can have rice! Will post more on that experience later.
