If your life is like mine, you’re busy with work, errands, and chores.\u00a0 I try to cook real food,\u00a0 especially on weekends, but\u00a0sometimes I’m just tired and would like to eat out–let somebody else cook and clean up.\u00a0 That brings up the BIG QUESTION–where can we go to get food that’s healthy, safe, and, of course, tastes good?\u00a0 My husband and I debate\u00a0where to go\u00a0everytime we decide to eat out.\u00a0 Usually we just settle for a “make do.”\u00a0 We try to avoid fast food, find restaurants that serve a variety of vegetables (not just 5 kinds of potatoes and maybe rice), and order grilled meats, rather than fried.\u00a0 But there don’t seem to be very many that offer much choice.\u00a0 And, I suspect that even those that may look (and taste?) okay are not always cooked\u00a0(with good, healthy fats) or seasoned (without msg, for example)\u00a0in the best way to promote health and nutrition.\u00a0 The salad dressings are probably made with soy oil, if they’re like the bottled ones you can buy in the grocery stores.<\/p>\n
A few local restaurants have been recommended (see comments on the About page) including\u00a0 T’afia<\/a>, Ruggles Green<\/a>, and\u00a0Feast<\/a>.\u00a0 Their web sites say they use\u00a0local food and Feast\u00a0avoids factory farmed animals, even listing the sources for some of their foods.\u00a0 These restaurants\u00a0are certainly going in the right direction, but, are there any others?\u00a0 What about the rest of Houston?\u00a0\u00a0Where do you go?\u00a0 Do you bring your own salad dressing?\u00a0 Do you ask the cook to use butter rather than oil?\u00a0 How do you find a good, real food restaurant in Houston?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
