Good Choices at Applebees... BUT you have to go to the BACK of the menu! =)

So my best friend and I wanted to get some lunch the other day. I wanted to go somewhere where I knew there were good choices. I suggested Applebees, as I knew they had a Weight Watchers menu, but I had never tried it.

We are seated at our table and the hostess hands us the menus. The cover is splashed with yummy looking fattening as heck appetizers. I turn the page, more great looking, very bad for you stuff... and to make a long story short, I had to go through about 5 pages of this. I finally reached the back of the menu, to find the Weight Watchers menu on the very last page. It was VERY difficult to order from the WW menu! Not that the selections didn't look good, but how could I pass up all of that other exciting stuff!

Well, I did it, and so did my BFF. We ordered the Onion Soup, which is VERY GOOD! I can't believe it is only 150 calories. We actually had to ask the waitress if it was the right one, because it tasted to good. She ordered the Steak Portabello, and I ordered the Chicken Sandwich, and we shared. I wouldn't recommend the Steak Portabello, but the Chix Sandwich was pretty tasty.

After we were done, we were very satisfied and proud we didn't give in to the 90% of the menu that looked so exciting. We made good choices at the BACK of the menu!
