A Lunch Date at Houlihan’s + A Giveaway!

Compensation was provided by Houlihan’s via MomTrends.  The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions of Houlihan’s or Momtrends.

“Going out to eat” is my two year old son’s favorite phrase… ever.  If he had it his way, we’d be going out to eat every night and promptly be pretty broke as well.  But we do allow ourselves to go out to eat as a family every once in awhile.  And I also reserve a few lunches and dinners to go out with my girl friends as well.  Earlier this week, I decided to head to a local Houlihan’s restaurant (there’s quite a few in the KC area), to check out their low calorie menu options.  Everything on this menu is 590 calories or less and sounded delicious.  They have entree, dessert and cocktail options and I decided to try a few… along with some other staples that I normally get.

And I had to order one of each dessert, Key Lime and Chocolate Mousses, all coming in below 500 calories each!
