Tonight we were supposed to eat little sugar pumpkins stuffed with meat. We were not in the mood. Do you ever have a menu item that you put off? Back when you found the recipe and made your menu - it sounded awesome...but then when it came time to eat it - you felt really blah about it... That was us today. Brad was really craving steak and ground beef in a pumpkin is not equivalent to steak. So, we went to Texas Roadhouse. All four of us had steak. The boys had mashed potatoes but Brad and I had baked sweet potatoes and a steamed broccoli/carrot mix with ours. I will say that this diet has really helped me embrace sweet potatoes. I started consistently eating sweet potato fries early on this year followed by sweet potato chips. I had eaten them very sporadically in the past. I had never been a fan of baked sweet potatoes before unless they were coated with Texas Roadhouse's signature caramel sauce/melted marshmallow blend - hence making it dessert. But, I am here to say - my sweet potato only had a small amount of butter on it. I took the majority of it off. I know butter is dairy - but I'm not eating one dry. I was super proud of myself for not eating any rolls. I don't know why I chose a restaurant to eat at that had a big bucket of peanuts and a big basket of rolls on the table just sitting there tempting me!
