You are beginning to feel claustrophobic inside a fully packed vehicle on what seems like the longest road trip of your life when your youngest yells "I'm hungry!" You see the golden arches but know that your claustrophobia will only turn into diuretic revenge and multiple pit stops on the next lag of your travels so you keep looking...and looking. But let's face it - when it comes to family restaurants, healthy choices are few and hard to find.
We all know that the healthier option would be to stop at a family restaurant that offers salads, fruits & vegetables, and fresh meat, but more often than not they are hard to find. Applebees and places like Ruby Tuesday with a build your own salad bar are not exactly on major checkpoints along the interstate and not everyone can afford a meal for 4 (or more) PLUS tip. For one reason or another, we almost always opt to stop at - YES - McDonald's because it is convenient. But do not fret - I have done the research for you and I am here to share some healthy food choices at those family friendly fast food restaurants.
Side note: My favorite at Mickey-D's is the Grilled Chicken Asian Salad.

What about when you are home and you have spent the entire day cleaning, folding, or dusting? You
haven't gone grocery shopping in over a week and you forget to make dinner plans. At the last minute you scramble to find something in your fridge that does not have a furry green coating all over it or filmy curdles inside the container. You start tossing "out-dated" foods and you are left with zero options for dinner. Instead of ordering Take-Out, take a step back. More often than not, we are throwing away perfectly good food. Allow me to provide some great cheat sheets that will help explain what those curious USE BY and SELL BY dates really mean.
