Holidays have you feeling less than fit? Visit these local restaurants for healthy, yet delicious meals to start your new year...

Ok, so I am usually a fairly healthy eater, but the holidays have surely taken their toll on me.  Enjoying rich foods and drinks with family and friends is OK, for a little while.  Now that January is here, I am ready to get back into my old habits.  
Going out to eat can wreak havoc on a healthy diet, because most people do not realize the amount of calories that go into most restaurant meals.  There are several restaurants in the area that I feel offer great healthy alternatives that most importantly still taste great!  
* I will continue to add to this list over time*

1. Butera's Restaurants (Seaford, Woodbury, and Smithtown locations)
I recently went to Butera's for lunch and ordered my favorite salad: 
The Warm Frisée, Spinach and Chicken Salad - Grilled chicken, roasted peppers, mixed greens, smoked mozzarella with a warm white wine vinaigrette

Important note: Order the dressing on the side and use one spoonful to drizzle over the salad.  The roasted peppers give the salad some slip, so keep the calories down by using as little dressing as possible. 


Butera's offers other great salads for lunch and dinner:

Warm Grilled Scallop Salad

Jumbo scallops (4), shiitake mushrooms, cannellini beans, tomato, mixed greens, warm white wine vinaigrette

Grilled Shrimp Salad

Jumbo shrimp (5), mixed greens, diced fresh mozzarella, tomato, and onions
with house vinaigrette

Let's face it, sometimes a salad just won't do.  This restaurant offers an entire "low carb" menu that offers healthy, hot selections.  Try one of these to leave full, not feeling guilty:

Grilled Salmon over a light saute of broccoli, red peppers and fresh tomatoes

Basa Filet sauteed with shiitake mushrooms, spinach and fresh tomatoes in melted mozzarella

Grilled Chicken Primavera (Red or White) zucchini, squash, mushrooms, carrots and peas sauteed in a light garden tomato sauce or garlic and oil brodino, served over chicken

Grilled Tilapia over light saute of spinach, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms and fresh tomato

Grilled Chicken Breast over a light saute of escarole and fennels, greens and yellow squash 2./3. Argyle Grill and Tavern (Babylon) and Hemingway's American Bar & Grill (Wantagh) These two restaurants are also affiliated with Barrique Kitchen and Wine Bar in Babylon.  I happen to prefer Hemingway's (I like the fireplace upstairs), but Argyle offers some wonderful, healthy choices that I listed below.  Note: Ask them to hold the mashed potatoes and give you a double order of the vegetable OR have a few bites of the potatoes (if you trust yourself :))  Remember, anything with "loin" is always a lean cut i.e. sirloin, pork tenderloin.  Menu items below are from the Argyle's website (Hemingway's menu has the same or similar items most of the time, but they do not have their menu posted online). Portobello Chicken  topped with portobello mushroom and fresh mozzarella, with sautéed spinach,  red “B” mashed potatoes and a port wine demi Sauteed Pork Tenderloin Medallions   pommeray mustard cabernet demi, red “B” mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus Chicken Paillard  grilled marinated chicken with tri color salad, white balsamic vinaigrette and  grilled pita bread

Cedar river Farms “All natural” Sirloin 

16-oz. all-natural NY shell steak, red wine demi hand cut with red “B” mashed potatoes 

and haricot verts 

Grilled Swordfish 

sundried tomato pearl cous cous, grilled zucchini & yellow squash, lemon cilantro 

Bon Appetit!
