Walking the Walk - Day 3

sushiDay 3: "Let's go out for sushi," my husband says. Our kids are at Grandma's for the evening, and it's our date-night tradition.

I raise an eyebrow at him.

"What? Really? Even sushi?"

Yes, even sushi. It's definitely a bummer, but I stick to my guns. I make a spicy hot dish for dinner instead, something that the kids would have never eaten.

Though sushi is generally a healthy meal, calories can quickly sneak up on you. And if you go for a spring roll or tempura, you're piling on fat grams as well.

The chicken enchiladas I made instead were low-cal, packed with veggies, and even made with whole grain tortillas (extra fiber that can't be found in sushi's white rice). Sure, we had to do our own dishes, but we used the cash we saved to take in a movie ... where I didn't let hubs talk me into a box of popcorn.
