My Menu!


This is a menu is a little bit of a  new concept for our family.  Not sure if you noticed or not but I haven't been posting my menus. I have been very confused.  I apologize if this gets too personal but I will tell you a little what I have been going through. I had been introduced to 5 diets to follow. Due to health issues.  Not easy and contradicting to say the least. (the Dash diet, weight watchers, the paleo diet  gluten free and vegetarian.)  Argh! No way could I follow all 5. My bishop had spoken to our congregation about the atonement and how wasn't just for sin but for anything we need to change in our lives and He, my Savior can and will help me and provide the answers I need.  Ask and ye shall receive right? I decided to take it to the Lord for answers. I also began studying our Word of Wisdom every single morning along with my regular scripture study. I believe I was given the answer. The answer for me and my house is that we will eat meat sparingly 3 or 4 to 1 ratio of veggie meals to meat meals for now, stop eating gluten and increase our vegetable and fruit intake. BTW my research on gluten is both fascinating and staggering.  That stuff has some crazy bad things associated with it!! I am not saying that this is right for everyone in any way shape or form but I have been living it for about 2 weeks and I am already feeling much better! It is right for me and my house. If you want to know more about what I believe click HERE. Also FYI the kids at school and when they are away from the home are free to chose what they will eat.  Jason and I are not making them chose or live this diet.  It is their choice but they seem to be very supportive and happy to eat better and we are all eating this way at home. PS once we are a custom to eating GF we will start working on removing the sugar.  Also researching sugar is an eye opener.  Even though not mentioned in our Word of Wisdom specifically it does say to not use anything harmful to the body and I would say sugar is.  Baby steps is the key for me. Eventually I hope to be living sugar free also. 
*Oh something i forgot to mention...we are also giving up pork and beef.  Fish and chicken are our meat choices.

Italian Nachos

My sweetheart and I would order this from Johnny Carino's. He was first and as soon as I tried it I had a hard time ordering anything but this. Although, I really loved their lasagna, oh, and their chicken parmesan sandwiches AND their wedge salad...OK I loved Johnny's! I was very sad when they closed in our area. Luckily for us we knew that dish by heart and have been able make it at home. I think you will love it! If you could bring back one restaurant from your past which one would it be?
