Menu for week of May 25-31
Going to try something new. There is a "detox" program out now that is called The Plan by Lyn-Genet Recitas. I decided that I would try the first three days of the program later this week and see what I thought. The things that I have looked up make it seem like it is a diet to try to figure out what you are allergic to or have sensitivity issues more than a standard detox. Plus you actually get to eat. And while I don't have any unknown dietary restrictions*, it may be one way to try to get over this plateau.
(And I know that Brian probably isn't going to do well with the Wednesday and Thursday meals, so he will get grilled pork chops and leftover steak or pulled pork and a baked potato or something)

Yeah, no, this didn't work out well for me. I did the first day and by supper I was all out of sorts (in many ways) and decided that even when I eat vegetarian, I try to get protein in me. Even if it is beans and rice. So blowing off the whole Plan.
