While hubster is deployed I treat myself and the kids to one night/week out to dinner....it keeps me from feeding them processed crap by the bucketfuls because it gives me a break from cooking...and as much as I'd like to appear as Martha Stewart...I can tell you that often I'm scrambling for something to eat for dinner that I can make in 20 min because lil' dude is hollering like he's going to starve to death.
So...most of the time dinner out is NOT fast food. Its a restaurant where we eat well and someone else cleans up after me and my kids. I love that. But occasionally lil' dude is screaming like he's going to starve to death even on eat out nights and then we head to Wendys. We love Wendys. I love it because I love the chili. I'd never even had the chili until I lapbanded and then a friend turned me onto it as a "fast food" option that won't bust my gut...The small value size is exactly one cup and its got bean and meat = protein.

4 g fiber

Not bad for fast food.
So...tonight was a Wendy's chili night...and my kids wanted a cheeseburger and nuggets respectively and they got these in their kid's meals...I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Oh my god. I knew you were my cosmic twin. I had Wendy's chili for dinner like thirty minutes ago. :)
ReplyDeleteIts like we are in the twilight zone. ;)
DeleteI used to like it then it changed and now I don't like it as much. Unless it's chili chips and cheese. :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose that since I never ate it before I had no clue they changed the recipe...I like it how it is now though. yum!
DeleteI had Wendy's chilli for all three meals yesterday. And Friday was my first time trying it!!! I'm addicted. But I'm going to try making it this week from a copycat recipe!
