  1. Your menu truly inspires me to eat healthier! I wish I liked all of these foods...maybe I'm like one of those picky kids. ;) Seriously, though, thanks for posting and being a role model for a healthy lifestyle.

    By the way, I tried the BOGO and kids meal deal at Quiznos and they wouldn't honor both deals together. It may have just been my location though. Its worth a shot. We ended up getting the $5 foot long to split and munched on our kiddos chips and shared their free drinks. We love their raspberry lemon aid!
