It seems to be getting easier. Not only thinking of things to eat, but preparing as well. Really, it's quite simple recipes. Meat, veggies, fruit. No baking. Now that we know where to buy everything, it's not so crazy. Also, I am getting used to preparing all the meals, not going out, and thinking of different foods to snack on instead of the usual. At first I was worried I might feel hungry all the time. That isn't happening. i don't know if it's because I have expanded my food choices or that I am getting used to not eating empty calories. I think in the end this way of eating will actually be easier and cheaper than the Standard American Diet.
Tonight I had bought frozen Mahi-Mahi and decided to try the marinade recipe on the back of the package. It was an asian ginger marinade. IT was AMAZING! Yummy. It had a small amount of soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I just sauteed the fish on the stove (marinading first). Then you take the rest of the marinade and boil it and then pour it over. It was good.
I also had made an avacado sauce to dip the fish in. It didn't NEED it, but it too was really good. Just 1 avacado, 1/3 cup plain yogurt, and 1 TBSP lime juice. It's sooooo yummy. The boys ate the fish and carrots and cucumbers and we had some more sauteed bell peppers and onions.
The kids are healthy and happy so far.
