I don't eat meat or dairy at all anymore, just cannot tolerate the thought of the inhumane treatment. Love avocado, love zuccini pasta now, trying to eat tiny meals more often to keep the metabolism running all the time. I love love love pasta, love mac/cheese, but don't often eat it. Fruits all the time, and big fresh salads if I can buy them and bring them home, I won't do all that for myself. I love salmon and often grill that at home, it's just so easy and when the fish is fresh it isn't fishy,Splenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-40072054294755650342018-02-28T11:47:29.561-05:002018-02-28T11:47:29.561-05:00I shop most days.

Most of my dinners tend to be from an Italian deli, that makes meals ready to go or sandwiches ready to go.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-77946456560572701402018-02-28T10:01:56.402-05:002018-02-28T10:01:56.402-05:00Absolutely.

And with all your baking, it makes sense that you like carbs, but you seem to be so athletic and healthy. <br />As for these meal preps, it's hard to correctly cook or even reheat different items together--some heat up quickly and others slowly.<br />We have a cycle to our meals, based on my husband, who considers the weekend sacred (though he's retired). So Monday is pasta, because it's Monday and not important. Tuesday is fish, because it's only slightly better than Monday. But by Wednesday, he wants meat. And Friday, Saturday and Sunday should have elaborate meals. He does a lot of the cooking, so whatever he makes is fine; I just make sure there are vegetables.<br />I do try to make soup as soon as I get home from the market, using the parts of the vegetables that tend to be thrown away, like stalks and leaves. If they're cooked a long time and blended, they are delicious. I freeze them so we have variety, otherwise we'd be eating a lot of broccoli soup right now because it's in season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
