Let’s face it, eating out with your significant other is convenient. There’s no grocery shopping, no preparation, and no clean up. Sounds like the perfect scenario, right? Wrong!
While some restaurants are starting to adopt “healthier” menu options, most dishes are still loaded with sodium, trans fat, and unwanted calories. Not to mention that giant list of tempting appetizers, sugary drinks, and picture-perfect deserts staring at you.
Do not give into the temptation. Stay in and cook healthier meals together! Not only will you consume less calories with a home-cooked meal, you will know all of the ingredients that go into your food (which makes it easier to enter into calorie tracking apps) and can control your portions.
Check out these healthy, and delicious recipes, that are perfectly made for two!
