Venetian Apricot Chicken

Tonight was a big step for my p4 journey Olive Garden.  My husband who has been held ransom for months on where we eat said how about Olive Garden?… I prayed on the way they had something on the menu I would feel comfortable eating.   I will have to admit its tempting but I looked for their olive leaf light menu and I was very happy with my choice.  The best part was when I got home and looked up the calories it was only 380.  I skipped the veggies pretty much since I had salad which was 120 calories according to their website.

I was happy that there are healthy options out there we just have to chose them.  They are nice enough to share their recipes so you can cook them at home.  This would be great for P3 and P4.
