Gluten-Free and Vegetarian at a restaurant does not equal healthy...

I have been a busy girl over the last few weeks so this is the first Friday that I have gone out with friends in awhile. Ordering my normal gluten free at a restaurant is often hard enough but tonight I had the additional challenge of ordering vegetarian too... Normally I would just order some kind of meat and a salad and that is a pretty simple way to eat gluten free...

Tonight I got nachos with beans since they were both gluten free and meat free... Not healthy. Too much cheese, not enough veggies, lots of empty calories and carbs... I did not even come close to finishing the dish but still feel icky...

I think in the future I will eat my faux-meatballs, or black bean burger before going out and just get a salad at the restaurant... (Plus the way my stomach is feeling there was gluten contamination... DAMN my Northern European ancestry for giving me such a charming genetic disease...)

Maybe I just won't eat out anymore...

  1. Hi, this isn't spam, really. Livestrong is one of my favorite sites as well .. if you haven't checked out vegweb.com, you may want to, they have all sorts of good and easy recipes. Great Blog, I found it via an ex Morman site.
