Eat Like a Bear

Maybe this past weekend tuckered you out and cooking dinner isn't in the program for tonight.  How does dinner at a log cabin warmed by wood burning ovens sound (oh and not to mention - a menu that will make you drool)?  You have to try Big Bear Lodge (25253 Telegraph).  The Lodge is one of my favorite restaurants Downriver and has a great variety of dishes that will get you back on track after a weekend of jelly bean binging.

As always, I'll serve up a dish recommendation, but check out the full lunch or dinner menu before you head over!      


Fisherman's Platter - Broiled salmon, shrimp, and scallops.  Order a baked potato instead of mashed with the veggies.  The salmon in this seafood combo is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to make your body more efficient at burning fat, rather than storing it.  If you haven't yet, jump on the salmon band wagon!


Ostrich Burger - If you like trying new foods and you like burgers, you'll love this!  Ostrich meat is supposed to be very lean and lower in saturated fat than beef.  Comes on a multi-grain bun.  Order mustard instead of mayo and a side of veggies instead of french fries.


*Pass the bread basket if you're a sucker for filling up on bread before the meal and ask for no croutons on your side salad.


Wednesday is Wine Wednesday - 1/2 off all glasses of wine!  Try Apothic Red - an awesome blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, and Merlot.
