Next Weeks Cooking Plans for Healthy Eating Challenge

If u have read my weight loss blog last week..then u know that I have lost then 32pds..Now 35pds. It didn't happen without watching what I ate. And exercise. I do splurge and have a treat or a special craving to make sure I don't fall into the self trap of over doing it because I feel deprived. I have always love to cook. But I cook a lot more and no processed food. Well very little. I mean like once or twice a month if that. I find myself cooking 2 ways. My way for me and another way for my girls. Every times I have fish or salmon I would cook something else for them. Starting Mon Nov. 4. for the next 2 weeks I thought I would cook 1 way for everybody. My daughters likes fried, loves pasta, potatoes and shrimp. My oldest daughter hates fish tuna and salmon. I hate shrimp..I rarely eat fried foods and I monitor my carbs.  I realized why cook one way for me to lose weight but then feed my daughter what I wont eat. So I am going to introduce ways to incorporate them all (our likes and dislikes) in healthy and tasty ways so that even my girls will eat fish and salmon. Its a challenge but I am up for it. I hope. I will be pulling out my trusty cookbooks and going to my favorite recipe sites to pull out the best most interesting meals. My daughter has tried some of my meals before but she always ate what she liked. Now that all meals will be health conscious we will see what I can pull out of my arsenal. LOL. There will be no processed, no fried and low to no carbs meals. I will be posting everyday and put as much info as possible far as recipes and my sources from where I got the recipes so that you guys can try them too.
