I had the pleasure of seeing my Godparents a week or two back and per usual..we went to the local pizza buffet.
This can be a dangerous place if you don’t have a plan…so many choices!! I took pictures with the ol’ camera phone. I still feel weird taking pictures of my food in public places…anyone else with me?
Here’s how my plan went:
First up: Salad and Fruit
Normally I’d bypass the breadstick but I hadn’t had one in soooo long!! Not even at the monthly pizza dinners we do for family birthdays! This broccoli turned out to be terrible but the idea is the same. Pick your main dish ex: Pizza, lazagna, meatballs, chicken and your veggie.
Last-but-not-least: Dessert!
My oh my this brings me back to childhood! This pizza place makes the best dessert pizza in the entire world and it has always been my fav part of the meal. Add a shot of icecream and you have pure dessert perfection. 🙂
Other tips:
- Grab the small plates. This will help limit your portions.
- Picking ONE main dish is key. This is where a great deal of the calories and fat come from.
I really enjoyed this dinner as it is a tradition with my fam and I got to catch up with the godparents! 🙂

So there’s this sweet blog called Peas and Crayons that started a WIAW or What I Ate Wednesday so I am linking this up to that page. Check it out! 🙂
Do you have any food stradegies?
Where did you go as a family tradition to eat when you were younger?
