Friday
Let the gluten free, fit and healthy year begin!!
The month of January I will belong to a group called "No Snackers Club", which means no more holiday grazing. I will stick to just the 3 meals a day w/ no snacks. I also plan on doing much better with staying away from gluten as it has been shown to make me crazy! (tired, crabby, etc.) Also, my husband got the two of us Wii fit to go with our sons' new Wii.

Lunch:
red roasted potatoes tossed with garlic, onions, olive oil, rosemary, parsley, sea salt, pepper
leftover raw veggies from our party
sparkling cider
in the small crockpot: leftover little smokies and bbq sauce for the childen
leftover cashews for the adults

Dinner:
Easy Cheap Chili
AKA "I didn't even miss the meat" Vegetarian Chili, AKA "Now That's Some Vegetarian Chili" Chili
2 cans diced tomotoes, 1 can each: kidney beans, black beans, and corn, 1 chopped onion, 1/2 cup salsa, 1 tsp minced garlic, possibly as much as a 1/4 cup cumin, 1 tsp chipotle, 1/2 tsp salt
Combine and cook in a big pot on low to medium for about a half hour, stirring every so often.
We served this with a little shedded cheddar. (the seasoning messurements are aproximate as I just throw things in w/o messuring.) This made about 6 servings.
This was easy, cheap, healthy, and my husband said we need to start eating it often.
