Hi again! I hope your week went well. I was able to hit all of my eating and exercise goals, so I'd say my week was pretty great!Goals for this weekThis week's menu is a little sparse because of holidays. We had Easter dinner at my in-laws' place, and then Jeff turns 35 on Wednesday! He requested Mac and Cheese with taco flavors for his birthday, so I'm going to try to make that work.

reflecting on last weekI'm really enjoying my meatless meals each week. I'm spending a bit less at the grocery store, and it's forcing me to get creative with my vegetable consumption. You might have noticed that my vegetables are just kind of an after thought most of the time. I know I need them there, but I don't do much with them other than grill or saute. I'm trying to be better about that. Everything was delicious last week, but I just love that Shrimp and Penne in Pink Sauce. It's so quick ... continue reading...
