We hardly eat out either. My dh will take both daughters out for a birthday lunch, but I stay home. And when we go on vacation (tent camping in the Adirondacks) we do go out for breakfast once during the week and hit some fast food joint after tubing. It is too expensive for us to even think of grabbing a meal out most days. When I go out anywhere I throw some apples/crackers or pb & J sandwiches into a bag along with water or koolade in a container. And I don't bring more than a couple dollars with me because if I don't have the money it isn't tempting. Oh, sorry this is getting long. The other thing is my son (who has Crohn's also) is a wonderful cook! And he'll cook 2-3 times in a week. When you have someone providing really good meals the fast food/restaurant option isn't so tempting. And my husband always has great leftovers for his lunch.
