March 13 Slice of Life Story Challenge: Healthy Eating (?)

My Two Writing Teachers colleagues and I are hosting the 15th Annual March Slice of Life Story Challenge, in which teachers from around the world participate by posting a story per day.

My husband has been on a salad kick lately. He’s been experimenting with different kinds of lettuce and olive oils, trying to find the perfect combo that we both like to eat. I appreciate it since I am TERRIBLE at grocery shopping. I just stick to our same old, same old. I just don’t have the energy or the interest in trying out new salad ingredients.

So anyway, the point is he bought these crispy onions that are supposed to be a fun thing to add to salads.

But instead of eating them sprinkled on a bed of healthy lettuce, I’ve been sneaking fist-fulls of them straight from the bag.

A salad with a teaspoon or two of these fried onions is healthy—but a fist full of fried onions all by themselves is definitely not healthy.

So, once again, I have found a way to beat the system, when it comes to healthy eating.
