Fit From the Farm

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 by Lolli 24 Comments

It’s not too often that I get to have a one-on-one date with one of my kids. They’re at school during the day and we’re busy (or together) at night. So the other day, when Reese was home from school recovering from an ear infection, I decided to take advantage of some mom and me time.

I had recently been introduced to Bob Evans’ new Fit From the Farm menu. They’ve designed a menu that is so healthy you can eat all 3 meals at Bob Evans and stay under the government suggested 2000 calorie per day limit. Since I’ve been trying to be more healthy, Bob Evans’ selection of meals that are 650 calories or less sounded perfect. I ordered the salmon for our lunch together (along with a nice big serving of broccoli and a baked potato). It was fabulous and filling, and under 500 calories. Not only was the food yummy, but the service was stellar. That’s always a huge factor in whether or not I am going to return to a restaurant. These pictures from my phone illustrate how much fun we were having together. And, yes, I added butter and sour cream to my potato….

Disclosure: I received a certificate for a free Fit From the Farm meal at Bob Evans, and paid for Reese’s meal on my own. Happily. I am totally going back for more.

    Looks like you two had a good time. We don’t have any Bob Evans restaurants around here, or else I’d try the new menu. Oh well, next road trip.

    I love those days when they are just “sick” enough to not go to school but well enough to have some rare quality time together. Lunch looks yummy too!!

    I love the trend of healthier meal options at chain restaurants. I know Applebee’s is introducing some 500 calorie options. Love the silly crayon pictures :) Have a great rest of the week and thanks for the linky!

    I hope your daughter is feeling better now.

    Ya know, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at Bob Evans. Good to know that they offer lower calorie options.
