Just found out they are having my sister's birthday party at Olive Garden , I will have a hard time but feel I should go . So any ideas on what to eat when I go to that SUGAR filled place . I can smell the pasta & breadsticks now .

Hi....I have been lurking for a few weeks but I wanted to answer your question. Olive Garden has a "Grilled Chicken Spiedini" that is very good served with grilled veggies....just ask for extra veggies and no tuscan potatoes.  They also have a grilled salmon served with broccoli. You'll be fine....just have fun.

Jo you will be fine, I had to go out last week for my step daughter's birthday and I had a salmon fillet that was grilled and a caesar salad (I asked for no croutons), got croutons, so sent it back!

I was so stuffed after it, I wondered what I worried about.....
