Quick Tip for today: Cooking Light just put out an issue called "Best One-Dish Meals". It is awesome- lots of great, easy dinner ideas, nice pictures. I made the Warm Pasta Salad with Shrimp last night and it was delightful. Look for it at your grocery store!!!
Enjoy! |

Here are some tips on how to avoid overeating or overconsuming calories when eating out:
- avoid ordering any dishes that contain cream sauce or cheese, mayonnaise, or are fried, listed as crispy, buttered, creamed, sauteed
- don't let the waiter/waitress bring bread to the table
- eat only half the portion- push the other half to the other side of the plate
- order the butter, salad dressing, any condiments on the side
- order a salad before your meal- put the dressing on yourself - order the "greens" salad, NOT the Caesar or anything else with cheese (high in calories and unhealthy fat)
