Salad with Fries??

Our meeting went well with the DJ tonight… Since our DJ is located about an hour away from us, he suggested that we meet somewhere in the middle, so it was easier for both him and us… When he suggested Chickie and Pete’s, I was both excited and disappointed haha… I love Chickie and Pete’s crab fries as I’m sure you all know; however, I’m really trying to eat healthy the next ELEVEN days… I usually practice everything in moderation and I’m not doing any kind of crazy-bride-starvation diet, but I really want to focus on eating right without any little splurges until the big day :)

After our DJ meeting (we met at the bar area and it went super well), Bill and I decided to order dinner there… I, surprisingly, ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad there (the chicken was cooked with Old Bay, which made me super happy), which I never have before… I had the FF Crabby Ranch dressing on the side… Would you believe that even the salad had crab fries in it? I actually picked them out and gave them to Bill who was quite the happy camper… It surprisingly wasn’t tough to resist because I just kept thinking about how good I have felt all day from eating good food sources :)   The salad was HUGE (way bigger than it looks in the picture, plus the dish was actually a bowl) and really filling, I actually ate probably 80% of the salad then was too full… They gave me a ton of dressing too, I only used 1/3 of one of the cups!

Now I’m off to shower & get ready for another fun & crazy day! Good Night Ya’ll!  I can’t believe that I’ll be getting married in less than 11 days!!

    I love old bay! Chicken in old bay sounds awesome! The salad looks great! I gave up french fries for 1 year before we got married (and was served them at our reception :) ). Now I like never eat them! Its so weird what you can learn to live without (even if you love it!!)
