I’ve been really good about sticking to my dinner strategies for the last couple of weeks. I planned out my meals, bought my groceries in bulk and made great food with little waste (I still have some cilantro I need to do something with though). After working hard in the kitchen I decided to eat out and have a fun family meal. Eating out, after all, is one of my top dinner strategies.

There are a ton of restaurants in my area and I was really wanting a burger. I was hungry. I had a TOUGH Pure-Barre workout earlier and then I took the kiddos to gymnastics. I worked up an appetite.

I know what you are thinking. All those calories burned are going down the drain with the burger. That’s ok – I’ll work harder next week to count calories.

Since I wanted a burger, my options were limited because we don’t really have many local burger joints. I’m a foodie and generally try to avoid chains but I made an exception because I had no choice. I decided to eat at Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar. I haven’t wanted burgers in forever so I was a first-time diner. I must admit, the food was good and so was the service. I had a mozzarella burger. It was perfectly cooked and the toppings were great.

The kids had sliders and hotdogs. Their meals were perfect for kids and were brought out fast. I appreciated that because kids can only go so long without food.

All in all, this restaurant satisfied my burger craving. There was a good family friendly vibe and the menu had tons of non-beef and a couple vegetarian options. The food was great, kids were happy and we all got out of the house. If I have any future burger cravings, I’d definitely go back.
