Going out tonight....
| Thu, 04-06-2006 - 10:55am |
Hey guys! My husband and I are going on date night tonight and are planning on going to Olive Garden. I was thinking of getting either the chicken scampi or the garlic herb chicken con brocoli. With whole wheat pasta of course! Would one of those be ok? I was also thinking of getting a berry sangria. Would that be alright or would it be better to just get a glass of wine? Thanks for the help!

There are probably better choices than the scampi which is made with lots of butter. The best bet would be to stick with grilled meats/fish or meat/fish with tomato sauces over the whole wheat pasta. Sangria has sugar in it, so a glass of red wine would be a better choice. Here is some information you may find helpful:
The Olive Garden has South Beach-friendly choices!
I, too, will be off to Olive Garden tonite for a baby shower. I checked their menu, and decided on the shrimp primavera w/ WW linguine, and minestrone soup. I will check Karen's link to see if that's listed as a good choice, but it looked to me like it was. Now if I can just resist the desserts... :o)
Have fun tonite!
