Eating in Season

Janice returned last night from a 5-day trip to Orlando with her husband and two daughters. While there, they visited Disney World and Universal Studios … ask her how her daughter Carolyn convinced her to take a death-defying ride on the Hulk rollercoaster! Let’s just say it’s not something she’ll be doing again anytime soon…

After a few days of waiting in lines, going on rides, and eating theme park food, Janice took the advice of her dietitian pal, Carolyn O’Neil, and dragged the family to Seasons 52, a terrific restaurant featuring seasonally-inspired menu items, all with less than 475 calories. If you love fabulous food and want to eat a healthy diet, it’s a great place to go. Janice couldn’t resist a dish of carmelized sea scallops with roasted asparagus and pearl pasta (with a glass of Pinot Noir) along with tastes of her family’s choices: appetizers of edamame with green tea salt and a garlic chicken flatbread, as well as chicken tortilla soup, striped bass over risotto balls, and grilled chicken tenders with roasted potatoes and carrots. As for dessert, they all sampled one of the restaurant’s fun “mini indulgences” … small 5-bite portions of classic desserts like tiramasu, key lime pie, and strawberry-mango cheesecake.

It’s nice to know nutritious restaurant food can be so tempting! Let us know about some of your favorite healthy restaurants. We’d love to hear from you.

    Not sure that it is as fancy, but Jason’s Deli is always delicious. They even pursuaded my picky husband to try wraps and now he loves them.

    Hi Ann:

    Where do you live? I don’t think we have a Jason’s Deli in the Boston area. Keep those ideas coming!

    Kansas City soon to be Dallas, TX area by summer.
    here’s their webssite and for some reason, there are no restaurants in Boston yet. Hopefully you’ll get one sometime.
