Since about mid-October I've been totally abusing my body with sugar and grease. This has got to stop. I feel like a slug.
I had those exact thoughts as I was sitting in my car yesterday after picking up some food through the Popeyes drive-thru, artfully arranging the items for photos. Well, eating healthier starts today. Or, maybe after the New Year's holiday.
I had never had Popeyes up until a few months ago and now I have the dilemma of really liking it. Their food flat out puts the colonel to shame. No need to ever eat at KFC again. And I would say it's better than Church's, although I do love Church's biscuits.
Popeyes chicken can be ordered either mild or spicy and the 4 times I've had it, it has been delicious and not greasy at all. I really dig the red beans & rice and the mac and cheese. The only complaint I have is that 3 out of the 4 times I've been I've gotten white meat when I ordered dark. Finally yesterday I got 2 pieces of dark meat. Thank you. It was excellent.
I did manage to bring half of it home for my husband to try because he had never eaten at Popeyes either. Now I have a partner in crime when we want to go out for fast food fried chicken. Usually I have a bit of a drive to get to one, so that has slowed me down from eating there more often, but they are building a new one on Alma School, just north of Queen Creek Road. That is very close.
I don't want to be one of those clowns always talking about New Year's resolutions, so eating healthier can start in February. I do have a vacation coming up.
