I'm on a mission. And that is to find healthy foods that actually taste good. It's not the easiest thing to do, you know. I used to think of "good" food as pizza, lasagna, chocolate, wings, fries, etc. Now when I think of good food, I think fruit (particularly berries), vegetables, fish, chicken (NOT in the form of wings slathered in delicious sauce that just makes your taste buds wanting more), granola bars, string cheese, 100 calorie pack everything, etc. DON'T get me wrong, those "good" food selections are still good..though of course only when eaten ever so frequently, I do find it important to self-indulge every now and again, a reward if I may.
Well with the snow today, I wasn't going to drive ALL the way home, which is a good 30 minute commute to work on a good day, so I decided to stay with my boyfriend down the road maybe 5 mins. The only problem was that 1) He's not home (to make dinner for me) and 2) There's NO food in the house (for me to create some sort of concoction for myself).
SO I decided that Panera was probably going to be my healthiest choice for dinner. Their "you-pick-two" deal is amazing, and I decided to try the new Mediterranean Salmon Salad with a cup of Garden Vegetable soup (with an apple for my side). Let me just tell you that I think I may have to have it like..everyday. Ok, not really, BUT for a healthy option on the go..I definitely recommend it! The salmon tasted right-out-of-the-water fresh, the dressing was great, and the olives and feta just made it undeniably scrumptous. The portions are perfect, and I actually kept my apple as a snack for later on this evening (did I mention that there's NO food in this house..I had to come prepared!..snack-wise anyway!) TRY IT!! and you will fall in love as I did.
Bon Apetit!
