Red Lobster


Nicolas wanted to go to Red Lobster for his eighth birthday. Turns out, it was a pretty good choice for our diabetic boy!!



He had a great time. Red Lobster wanted to make us happy, wanted to make HIM happy. He had SOOOO much food, and almost ALL of it was carb free. He did have one of those AMAZING Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but we calculated that at about 17 carbs.

They brought out a slice of cheesecake with five plates (we explained, of course, that he was diabetic, so each of us got a sliver of the cake). Absolutely, positively one of THE best dining experiences we have had since we were diagnosed.

In case you're wondering... here are some quickie carbs from the menu:

  • Shrimp Cocktail- 2 carbs
  • Wild Rice Pilaf - 36 carbs
  • Talapia in a bag- 30 carbs
  • Baked potato - 36 carbs...

Thanks for reading this!

I don't know what tomorrow has in store!!!

Stay SWEET!!
