Cracker Barrel is Amazing

Greetings World!

I have had another good day on my eating plan and I'm thankful and proud about that. But mostly, I just have something really wonderful to share.

Today, my honey and I decided to head out to Cracker Barrel around lunchtime. He was craving breakfast. I wasn't sure what I wanted. But one thing was certain - I wasn't going to worry about my diet when I went there. I planned on eating what I wanted and leave it at that.

But then I saw on their lunch/dinner menu that there was this whole new section called "Wholesome Fixin's" - all meals of less than 600 calories. Just out of curiousity, I checked it out. One of the items on their menu was a Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken Breast that sounded just wonderful to me. I chose to have that with steamed broccoli and a baked sweet potato. They had all the calorie counts available and I figured that with butter and a piece of corn bread, the whole thing basically came to around 600 calories. The only "wrinkle" was that when they brought my food, the sweet potato had brown sugar and cinnamon in it - which a lot of people might love - but it is not for me. I had them bring me a plain one instead and enjoyed my meal very much. That chicken was outrageously good.

But it apparently gets even better. When I went on Cracker Barrel's site a few minutes ago to get the link for you all, I saw the option to "Make it at Home". The link leads to a PDF file with the recipe for that amazing chicken. How flippin' cool is that? I've never seen a restaurant do something like that, but I have to say I'm very impressed.

Way to go, Cracker Barrel!

Blessings!
