We are really trying to cut back on unhealthy foods, try new foods, as well as watch our grocery budget. Pretty much the story of every household across America, right?!?!? LOL.
Shawn was told he needed to watch his cholesterol levels in a health screening that he received from his employer.... so he runs.... ALOT... and to help partner up and support him, we have incorporated some new recipes and food items into our grocery list..... as well as cutting red meat out of our diets dramatically..as in pretty much NONE at all....
We have cut down to chicken, seafood, and the occasional pork chop as meat options... and we tend to eat one of them a week...
We have taken on a lot of beans, rice, quinoa, millet, barley etc. It's been an interested adventure so far... some recipes have been really good and some have been really
However, here is a Recipe of Yumminess.... (insert lip smacking noise here).....
