Day 5: Eating Out

Breakfast: omelet with spinach and mushrooms, applesauce, coffee with coconut milk
Lunch: yummy leftovers from last night (the Tex-Mex Chicken Burrito Bowl)
Snack: grapefruit

We decided we needed a family outing for dinner, so I did a little research to see what our options were. We landed on Texas Land and Cattle because it is somewhat close by and they had a gluten-free menu available online. I was kind of on guard while we were there, ordering and inspecting everything pretty carefully without looking like a freak.

Although we got a questioning look from our waiter when Russ and I ordered food with really specific restrictions, but ordered a cheeseburger for Luke. :)

Here is what we ended up with:
- mesquite grilled sirloin steak, ordered dry (which means no sauce, butter or seasoning)
- side house salad, ordered with no cheese, croutons or dressing (oil and vinegar served on the side)
- steamed broccoli, ordered with no garlic butter (Amy)
- steamed spinach, ordered with no sauce (Russ)

The restaurant had several options and gave me more confidence in being able to eat out with our family. I am sure there are many places we can go and order food in a similar way. Yay!
