Tough to answer without knowing all the ingredients inside those things.
For example, how much artichoke is in the dip? What is the base for the dip - soour cream, mayo, low fat mayo?
I eat out occassionally and have personally found it is better to stick with "straight up" or undressed food..stuff that you can look at and tell right away if it is good.
Salad, with dressing on the side. If the dressing tastes sweet, ask for oil and vinegar. Thier italian dressing is delicious but I bet it has sugar in it.
Steak or hamburger without the bun? (probably not avaialbale at Olive garden). Broiled or steamed fish? Look for obvious things, and go into it claiming a victory if all you could choose was a good healthy salad. You can always nibble on protein when you get back home.
Good luck, and hug your husband for being sweet to take you out of the kitchen for an evening.
