Blue Lemon and Red Mango
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not really a food lover. Sure, I like food, but generally it all tastes the same to me. Not really picky either. There are very few things that I absolutely won't eat. However, I do like to "eat healthy" and am always grateful for good company while I am eating.
In fact, now that I think about it, I usually don't eat unless I have someone to eat with or something to cook for. I have a pantry full of whole wheat pasta and brown rice and a fridge full of vegetables and fruits. . . This poses a small problem in that I live alone and usually don't have someone to eat with and the food will most likely expire and go bad before I use it. I digress.
Last weekend I went to both the Blue Lemon restaurant and Red Mango. Both have healthy and/or organic food choices and both had good company. win-win situation.
I think it might be something with the names of the eating establishments that make them just a little bit more enticing. They sound healthy and fresh. When you say to someone "Where did you go to lunch today?" and they reply, "Oh, I had a nice lunch at the Blue Lemon restaurant downtown." that sounds much better than "Oh, Panda Express on my way back to work" or "Tanjee's Diner served up a great hearty lunch"
See what I am saying?
Which one would you pick?!
I tend to like the more fresh approach to food and both the Blue Lemon and Red Mango hit the spot for me on Saturday.
Why doesn't Utah County have more places like this to eat at?
And why can't I find great company to join me more often?!
Those two things on a more regular basis and it really would be a constant win-win scenario.
I think I'll have some crackers and cheese for lunch now.

Noodles (on University Parkway) is a really good place to eat too. They are supposed to be really healthy. And their food is very yummy.
I'm putting Red Mango & Blue Lemon on my list of places to try. Thanks!
