Mooyah


I know...shockeroo!!! It's been a while since I last posted. I have lots of intentions but then I get busy and forget...or I don't have the time...or I can't think of something to write. Whatever!!! Excuse, excuses, excuses. I really do enjoy blogging so I need to make it more of a priority.

Anywhoos...I went out tonight with some of my "dining diva" friends. These are ladies who try to get together at least once a month to go try out a new restaurant and have conversation. It's been a while since we've gotten together...almost as long since I've last written a blog.

But tonight a few of us met at a restaurant called Mooyah Burger & Fries. And that is basically all they serve...hamburgers and fries....oh yeah, and shakes. And while I was in the mood for a burger and fries, I was also concerned about the points. Let me just say that Mooyah has a great burger for those of us wanting a good taste but low points.

I ordered a turkey burger and chose the option to make in an Iceberger. What's an Iceberger you say? Well it's a hamburger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. The lettuce is thick and actually looks like a shell surrounding the burger. It was neat because you still ate it like a hamburger on a bun. And let me just say....it was delicious!!!! Only 4 points!

A good friend blessed me by buying my dinner and we split a large order of fries between three of us. They serve their fries in an oversize paper lunch bag. The fries are fresh cut in-house daily and cooked in trans fat free oil and very yummy. Not getting the bun allowed me to splurge a little on the fries, which when split between the three of us ended up being a little over 5 points. Not bad, especially when you see how many we got.

I'm excited to find a place where I can get my "burger fix" and not have to use up any extra points. If you have a craving for a good burger...check out Mooyah's and give their Iceberger Turkey Burger a try. It's finger licking delicious!!!
