April Meal Plan

In the past week or so, Hey, Babe and I decided to change how we eat a little.  We already avoid a lot of processed foods, but we are going to be making an effort to eliminate even more of them.  Things like white flour, white sugar, processed oils, etc. will be if not totally removed from our diet (I really like to bake and I don't want to give that up entirely) they will be drastically reduced.  I am curious to see how increasing our consumption of foods nearer to their natural form will alter our energy and health (both mental & physical).
It was a bit trickier for me to come up with a variety of foods that would work with this new tactic.  As you can see below, we didn't avoid them completely, but there is a significant lack of pasta and breads in the majority of our month's plan.

  2. It's hard, sister! But it's a good step in the right direction (as opposed to a bad step in the right direction... or any step in the wrong direction...)
