Lis’Anne here – This past week I only cooked one meal – my Chicken with Artichokes & Sun-dried Tomatoes dish for my sister, Lauri. She and my dad were down from Indiana for a visit. Dad hates chicken so we ordered Sonny’s Real Pit Bar-B-Q for him and our youngest son who doesn’t like sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone enjoyed what was on their plate and that’s all that mattered. 
So, as it turned out, we all got to try two “new-to-us” restaurants 
here in town. Five Guys is an awesome burger joint with the most fattening cheeseburgers and French fries you could possibly imagine, but boy were they juicy and delightfully delish! I didn’t get a double – a single was plenty!
Ocean Buffet is a new Asian place in a previous Asian buffet place. The offerings were abundant and the quality top-notch. I didn’t put one thing in my mouth that I wanted to spit out! LOL 
As you can imagine, I 
didn’t follow a very healthy eating plan this whole past week. But it’s time to get back to it. I only have one more week of forced inactivity (doctor’s orders) then I’ll be beginning a fitness regimen to go along with my nutritious meal choices. That leads me to this: have you ever tried MorningStar Farms products? I’ve been buying the Grillers Prime for years and we love them. If you haven’t tried them, do! You won’t be disappointed! The guys love theirs with cheese, but it doesn’t need it, in my opinion. Dress it up anyway you like – mine was awesome with a thick slice of tomato, baby spinach, and a plop of my homemade avocado hummus with sun-dried tomatoes on an Arnold’s Sandwich Thins.
When you fall off the healthy-eating wagon, do you have a hard time getting back on the right track? It sure is easier when your pantry, fridge, and freezer are filled with only good things.
