Last week's Crockpot Orange Chicken was probably my favorite meal of the entire meal plan. We liked it so much we're having it again this time around! We're still doing the 100 Days of Real Food mini pledges, and I have to say, I was anticipating Week 3 being one of the more challenging ones. But my husband pointed out that if we cooked one of the half chickens we got from a church member, we could spread that meat over our 3-4 meals, and just eat vegetarian for the rest of the time. Problem solved!
To start out with, we're still on Week 2: Real beverages, with only honey or maple syrup as sweeteners. I've discovered that coffee with whole milk and a spoonful of honey is pretty good, which is saying a lot, considering I used to be a sugar and fat-free vanilla creamer girl.
