Feeling uninspired and bored with meal planning, thanks to food allergy modifications paired with feeling overwhelmed preparing for a travel bloggers press trip, I decided to skip a week of meal planning. I basically, left Allan to his own devices for meal planning and I believe there may have been a lot of meals of brinner, pasta and mashed potatoes while I was away.

While he and the kids had mashed potatoes for dinner, I relished the most amazing meals in Daytona Beach.

I pretty much ate everything that I can’t eat at home like tomatoes, although I tried my very best not to overdo it. I ate some healthy meals and some not so healthy choices, but I managed to split most of the unhealthy ones. All the flavor and fun with less of the guilt!

Now when I tell you I ordered biscuits and gravy or a gorgeous rigatoni mozzarella dish, keep in mind I didn’t clean my plate but simply sampled and savored.

Biscuits & Gravy – Boston Fish House

And boy did I enjoy every small portion bite!

Yep, I pretty much ate my way through Volusia County. Stay tuned for my full “Discover Daytona Beach” review. I had a fantastic time and can’t wait to share it all with you!

But now, it’s back to my usual low calorie, protein dense meal. With that here’s our dinner menu for the week:
