Don't worry, I'm ok, the sun is shining today

I pulled myself together this morning and dug up all my old recipes and papers and handouts I got when I attended wellness and nutrition counseling at ISU. I was reminded that there are lots of factors that make a person healthy and eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, veggies, lean protein, fiber, whole grains, etc. is very important. Since I'm on the go a lot I decided to make a menu each week and STICK TO IT. It's easy to make a menu but if you don't stick to it, you don't get the health benefits from cooking at home or all the money you saved from not eating out. Here's the Link to my menu for the week. It has all the recipes, directions, shopping lists, and links to the websites where the recipes are from so you can see pictures and print it off it's something you'd like to try. I tried to keep a good variety of foods that incorporate all the things that make up a healthy diet. If I have more time today I have a few other handouts I'm going to try scan in that is a list of the top 100 foods to snack on. If you would like me to email you my Glycemic Index  database I've put together with tons of foods and their GI number just let me know, it's in a PDF. Thanks for reading! Happy Cooking!
