Ever have one of these nights?

You're in the car with your family and you're starving. You decide ya'll want to eat out tonight, but where are we going? Cue the arguing.

Apparently, I'm on a food kick today. Earlier today I shared an article about Minnesota's most popular food... supposedly! Click here to read the absolutely ridiculous thing they say is our most popular food. Clearly, I don't agree.

Anyways, back to our constant dine-out disaster. This is a regular occasion with my fam. Especially if we are hangry. Yikes!

The biggest obstacles: I'm gluten free and my kiddo eats about two things - mac and cheese OR chicken wings (I wish I was kidding).

So, my husband suggests a few places that I would totally eat, but kiddo has zero interest. Kiddo starts proposing fast food places that I can't have. I put forward a few places that have something for everyone, but nobody is interested. Ugh...

If only there were a way to randomly select a place to eat and put an end to these arguments forever. Boom, the lightbulb goes off in my head. I can make a wheel that does just that! Brilliant!
