Hi, friends – happy Wednesday! Halfway through the week and it feels like it is taking forever even though it was a short week. I finally have enough food pictures to participate in WIAW thanks to the lovely Jenn! It’s a miracle.
The first night I went to Ruby Tuesday’s and ordered while fish, green beans, and spaghetti squash! Um, I’ve never seen a restaurant have spaghetti squash – I was too excited.
For breakfast one morning, we went to Peach Valley Café and I ordered an egg white omelet with tomatoes, spinach, and turkey. SO good. A side of potatoes, whole wheat toast, and coffee of course.
We were starving for lunch one day and wanted to save a little money, so we picked up an entire rotisserie chicken at Publix and got salads! Perfect. I had mine with ginger dressing.
Another night we went to Stonewood Grille, and apparently I was feeling fishy again. I got the groupers with a side of veggies. And yeah, I got a LOT of veggies. Ha ha. My mom also let me try one of her shrimp-wrapped scallops.
The last day we were starving and stopped at a restaurant after going to a museum and I ordered a chicken salad with a side of sweet potato for some carbs.
And that’s about all the pictures I got from the weekend!
What is your favorite thing to get when you go out for breakfast?
I rarely ever do, but for some reason omelet’s are so much better when you order them out so I always get one!
How often do you eat out?

1. Ruby Tuesday has spaghetti squash!?! I did not see that one coming.
2. Breakfast places make omelettes so much better than I can. Definitely on my usual breakfast orders.
3. I’d be trying a shrimp-wrapped scallop too. That’s basically my favourite seafood wrapped in my another one of my favourite seafoods.

I went to Ruby Tuesday’s a year or two ago for Thanksgiving and I was overjoyed when I saw that they had spaghetti squash on their menu! It wasn’t the greatest, but it still made my day
I’m glad you had such a great vacation. Eating out SHOULD be fun. It doesn’t always have to be so strict so I’m glad you let loose a little bit

Oh yes, so could I!!
New reader, those pictures are making my mouth water! I love eating out, but it’s a special treat when we do:)
I have seen the spaghetti squash on Ruby Tuesday’s menu and been wanting to try it! All your eats look great! You’ve gotta live it up on vacation, but it looks like you did an awesome job of balancing healthy + delicious!
your eats look fantastic!! yum! i love letting loose on vacation… it is so much fun to eat out and not stress about anything!!!!
I love that you were able to find spaghetti squash at a restaurant.. soo good!

I am digging that idea of breaking apart a whole chicken, makes prep so much easier.

We ate it straight from the bag!
I am droooooling over that omelet! Looks so yummy!
It was deeelish
Letting loose on vacation is definitely the way to go! I don’t eat out all that often, but if I find myself out for breakfast, then I almost always go for crepes or waffles. The omelettes definitely look good, but I just can’t get over my sweet breakfast cravings!

I’m usually a sweet breakfast type of girl, too. But, I have to see something I’m really craving to order it or else I find that everything is too sweet for my liking!
all looks yummy! i love how restaurant omelettes are always so thick and satisfying..mine never seem to turn out like that at home!

These eats are amazing!! I don’t eat out very often, but when I do it’s so fun. I got spag squash once at a restaurant but I wasn’t impressed with the size/price ratio!
I don’t go out often either!
I’m an egg white omlette girl! Or blueberry pancakes if I’m going allll out

i also am so loving that huge piece of grouper you got, the egg white veg omelette (fav), and the salad with GINGER dressing. yum!

We seriously do!!! Love it<3
Spaghetti squash on a menu! I’d be too excited, which is kind of lame I suppose. I agree, that letting go of eating clean on vacation is a good plan! We need to live once in a while right. I rarely get breakfast out, but if I do I usually would go for eggs, I guess not anymore.

It is!! I didn’t go wild though as you can see, but if there was something I really wanted I definitely would have
I love eating out pancakes for breakfast!

This is letting loose?! LOL You eat super healthy girl! All these eats look like your standard delicious, clean eats to me! I agree that it is definitely possible to eat healthy while dining out!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! recently posted..WIAW: Pop’s Birthday!
Lmao nooo!!! I don’t think this is letting loose. I was just saying in general that it IS possible to eat healthy, but you can also let loose, too
Wow, does that salad look amazing. Sometimes it’s so good to have something as simple as that!
I usually don’t go out for breakfast just because I’m allergic to eggs and nuts (which are in basically every breakfast food!), but if I can find it, I love ordering a nice warm bowl of oatmeal.

OAtmeal is always a win!
Everything looks SO SO good! I’m super impressed that Ruby Tuesday has spaghetti squash on the menu! How progressive of them.
Whenever I go out for breakfast or brunch, I almost always order an omelet! They’re my fave, and it helps that they’re GF, packed with veggies (and cheese!), AND that they typically come with potatoes in some form (another favorite). However, sometimes I’ll “splurge” and get Eggs Benedict.

Right? Loved it. Eggs benedict is amazing!
I’m surprised Ruby Tuesday’s has good menu items like that.
And you know my heart because fish is like, one of my absolute favorite foods in the world. And IF I eat breakfast out of the house, I normally get something with lots of eggs–omelet, Mexican style eggs with meat in them and all that good stuff!

Yum!
I love getting omelets whenever I go out for breakfast:)

I so very rarely eat out, and NEVER it seems for breakfast. [I think that is probably because I just really like oatmeal in the morning, and it is so much better when you make it at home!] Usually if I am out for ‘breakfast’ it falls into the brunch category and so I’ll veer on the lunch side of things. I do love some home fries with ketchup though.
In Austin there was a movie theater that served food called Alamo Drafthouse and they had a spaghetti squash dish on the menu, which always made me happy. Now that I think about it, I think my first encounter with spaghetti squash was at a restaurant in Hilton Head years ago!

I really liked your last post…would LOVE to chat with you about it cause my digestion is WAY off and I’m not exercising and having a HARD time with calorie intake stuff (yet ironically binging at night). I also have really bad constipation….can you email me? Also would LOVE to ask you…Okay…i ordered from vitacost this one cause its SUPER cheap and shipping not that bad to canada: http://www.vitacost.com/lifetime-lifes-basics-plant-protein-vanilla …NOW I’m worried the ingredients say “salt” and “xylitol” …is that healthy and clean?
the ingredients also list phenylalanine…is that okay you think? I’m freaked out i chose the wrong one!! Yipes. The otehr protein powders were just so much more expensive….even though they offered more in the container (so really maybe the same cost) i was worreid about buying a big bag or tub of something if i actually didn’t like it
