How to make healthy choices when eating out

Healthy Choice 2

 

As you probably already know, I write for a food magazine (Taste Magazine) as well as my weekly Food Friday features here on the website. As much as eating out is great and fun, it sometimes becomes a chore when you are trying to eat sensibly or follow a diet plan.

I dine out regularly as part of my work with Taste as well as client meals and work events let alone date nights with the husband. As much as I am always mindful and try to make a healthy choice, it can be damned hard, especially when your host or chef is watching over you wanting to get your reaction on a risotto with a life times supply of cheese or the triple cooked in beef fat fries. Thankfully I don’t have a sweet tooth but it’s hard to say no!

I know it’s something other people struggle with to, so the lovely Rebecca Moore has kindly given her suggestions on how to be healthier when dining out!

Raby Castle, Durham

Raby Castle

If you ever hear me talking, you will know how proud I am to be from Durham. A Durham lass born and bred, damned proud of not only our beautiful history city, but the county itself. When I finally got the chance to visit Raby Castle again recently, I knew I had to share it with you all!

This is a revisit review for us today of the White Monk Tea Room. As one of our all time favourite places to go for a drive and a bit of fresh air, Blanchland is not only the prettiest little place you ever did see, but they also have a cracking tea room AND a very nice pub.

Recently, we were very kindly invited along to try Fusion at Ramside Hall’s spin on an afternoon tea – Asian style with the Asian Afternoon Tea.

With promises of a more savoury side to the afternoon tea, I was all excited – Insider secret, I don’t really like cake!

Italian Farmhouse Kitchen – Coxhoe, Durham

Sonnet 43 Brewery Italian Farmhouse Coxhoe Review

If there’s one thing that can make the husband happy is the promise of real ale and good food. When I told him I had grabbed a discounted ale tasting session at Sonnet43, you can just imagine his little happy face. Especially as the onsite restaurant Italian Farmhouse Kitchen is steps away from the bar.
