Except for Chipotle. That is one chain that I adore. :) I would rather go to a local restaurant.

Steve and I are both really timid when it comes to new restaurants/menus and so we tend to stick with what we know. He always says "I like what I like and I don't want to change" haha. I think I'm a bit more willing, but only if I can check out the menu ahead of time to be sure there's something I'd like to try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-61036851392017872722011-04-04T06:10:28.430-07:002011-04-04T06:10:28.430-07:00We totally eat at Olive Garden or local mexican re...We totally eat at Olive Garden or local mexican restaurants the most.

It's always so repetitive and the menus are so loaded with ninja calories...like who would expect a TGIF salad to top 1,000? Craziness.

For the money and time you spend eating out you can always make something better and tastier at home. When we first moved into our new house and didn't have our kitchen unpacked we went to a Chili's. I thought the place would be good because there was a long line and a 30 minute wait, which turned out to be an hour. <br />As we sat there waiting we realized everyone in the place was really obese and I mean everyone. We finally got our food and it was really awful. There were very few options on the menu that even looked appealing, everything was fried or smothered in cheese and bacon. <br />That was the last time I went to a chain restaurant and it was over three years ago. I did learn a valuable lesson on why Americans are so obese however.Nicole Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777028410857045419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-15018074740055935642011-04-03T22:51:47.544-07:002011-04-03T22:51:47.544-07:00Yay for a new camera!!!Yay for a new camera!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285525086889595753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-11240626973284321432011-04-03T22:41:43.251-07:002011-04-03T22:41:43.251-07:00YAY you tried the beet!!
