Healthy Eating vs. Ordering Quick, Easy Pizza

So the hubs and I are trying to eat healthy. Thus the turkey meatloaf, etc. Last night was a challenge for both of us. I had planned a grilled chicken Banh Mi, but in my haste to meet my mother for a pedicure, I forgot to marinate the chicken (for 3 hours) and pickle the veggies (at least 30 minutes).  Come dinner time, we were presented with a challenge: be good and use the thawed chicken breasts in another way OR order a pizza! After much hemming and hawing, we opted for Chicken with Tarragon and White Wine...well really, it was called Chicken with Tarragon and Vermouth, but the husband had finished off the vermouth in his last Manhattan. And I had purchased brussel sprouts at the grocery this weekend as well - and the rest of the weeks' menus did not leave room for the brussel sprouts.

Sadly, we were both expected it to fail so we could order that pizza, but it was fine. Not great, not horrible, but edible...mostly.

Tonight - Casablanca at the Belcourt which will easily make up for any lackluster dinner or bad day.
