From my kitchen to your palate
Two weeks down and six more to go for the OTF transformation challenge. Food prep has been going well, and overall I feel better about how we’re eating during the week. I’ve been okay about not over indulging come the weekend, but I think I …
We made it to the middle of the week! I can almost feel the weekend coming on. Normally I’d be looking forward to a wine Wednesday, but since we’re eating clean and not drinking during the week, my glass of wine will have to wait …
