Chili and Cauliflower
January 26, 2011
Thank you for the support! I have been enjoying your comments and emails! You, my readers are so kind!!! Thank you for your support! 
Like I said yesterday, hubby was out of town this past weekend and out the door was my diet. I ate grains and I had dairy and my elbows broke out and my body ached and I got sick. It is hard cutting out such BIG ingredients. Pasta dinners are quick and easy and you can make them colorful with vegetables. Casseroles are delicious and easy, too! I am still learning and I am still making mistakes.
GOOD THING I AM
Back on track!
Lunch – tuna, celery and avocado, olive oil and pepper on top of lettuce
I am learning to have my meals planned out for the week and on the calendar. I am learning to stick with my plan. I like just looking in my fridge and creating. My fridge is stocked, again and I am ready to go!
