She will usually get two meals out of the Kid's portion, so we save money, and she consumes the soup over the two meals. If we dined in, she would usually eat a quarter of the full size meal and we would spend double in the restaurant. No harm/no foul in my opinion.
Bon app!! We discovered the joy of Olive Garden Italian salad dressing at Safeway. Oh so great and currently on sale for $4.99 instead of $5.49. It’s a bit rich in sodium & calories (to be expected) so I definitely must measure out the 2 tbsp portion and we eat it every 3-4 salads with olive oil & red wine vinegar as the majority dressing.
