Well, I just spent some quality time (as in about 3 days) making up the menu for the next few weeks and Christmas. My husband seemed to think I was nuts to spend that much time going through recipes and figuring out what healthy things we would eat. Yet since these dietary changes are new to me, the cooking methods involved are also sometimes foreign so cooking takes a bit longer as I wing my way through this.
Without any further ado, this is what will be on our table for the next 2 weeks.
