First Time Eating out.....
Since I have started an elimination diet almost 4 wks. ago. Let me back up a little bit. I, instructed step by step by my doctor, started an elimination diet about 4 weeks back to eliminate ALMOST everything from my diet and slowly add things back in one at a time in order to see if and what else I am eating that I may be intolerant to or that just doesn't do well with my body. It started with eating only Turkey, Carrotts and Squash for 3 days straight. Yes, breakfast, lunch dinner and snacks! That was fun, let me tell you. Then I added in beef and sugar snap peas for the next 3 days, then Chicken and spinach, then my plant protein powder (thanks heavens for that). Slowly we have added things in one by one. I am still quite restricted and we haven't added in much of anything lately becasue of some bowel issues that need to get under control first. So I pretty much live on Chicken, Turkey, Fish, avacado, spinach, carrotts, squash and occasionally some beef. Oh and I have loved getting to add in almond milk with my protein shake and almond butter. I love that stuff! Well, now to present day. My hubby and I were headed out for a much needed date night and I was so incredibly sick of cooking for myself I was Okayed to eat out somewhere that offered a GF Menu and was able to order a grilled chicken breast (seasonings minimal) and steamed veggies and picked out the squash and carrrotts. I chose to go to Uno"s Chicago Grill because they have a pretty good Gluten Free Menu and I had a coupon and it was close the movie theater. I was VERY impressed, as I have been in the past. They are very careful with your order and when your food is ready the Manager brings it out to you special with gloves on and the whole nine yards. I loved it and the Food was REALLY REALLY good. I ordered the Herb-Rubbed Chicken and a double side of steamed veggies. The Chicken was moist and tender and the veggies steamed to perfection, not to crunchy or mushy. Another bonus was no-one looked at me like I was an alien when I asked for their Gluten Free Menu and everyone treated me very nicely. Thank you Uno's for being so cautious with this widespread issue of Gluten Intolerance/Allergy and being very considerate! So there it is my 1st review of many to come!
