This week, I’m backing off of re-introducing anything. I’m not going complete Whole 30 because I like to leave my options open, but I’m sticking very close to it. No grains, minimum dairy if any, and no sugar! Last weeks’ adventure with rice and potatoes is not something I want to live again this week. [...]

I’ve said it before and I stand by it. Prepping on the weekend sets me up for a great week with good food. I spend about 2-3 hours in the kitchen on Sunday afternoon and in that time, I can make a pot of soup, a roasted vegetable/whole grain/protein dish as a base for various [...]

I’m a third generation Weight Watcher. My grandmother joined the program in 1977 and lost a significant amount of weight. Back then, the plan involved a ton of vegetables, tuna, and fruit in it’s whole form.
