Dinner tomorrow...or maybe Sunday night!

I'm in the mood to experiment...and I have a ton of food in my cabinets that I need to use up.  I have this nifty gadget in my iGoogle homepage that lets me input what ingredients I have and it finds recipes for me and through this amazing tool, I've decided I'm going to make this!

Oregano-Lemon Chicken

Roasted Asparagus

    

Maple-Glazed Carrots

and Couscous with Cilantro

All of it seems super easy to make and it's all within my dietary restrictions - with the exception of a little bit of butter because I couldn't see the point in throwing (or giving) away the ginormous tub of butter I already had. Once that's gone though, I'm sticking with margarine.

Speaking of being within budget.  This is a great book for those of us who want to eat healthy and not spend an arm and a leg, and you can get it cheap at Amazon.com!


I'll let you know how the dinner goes and maybe even try and take some pictures of it on my phone.  Fair warning though, the pictures will be extremely low quality.  Maybe one day I'll get another camera.

Please take the cow out of my milk

Oh yes you heard me.  I'm starting to eliminate dairy from my diet for health reasons.  It's going pretty good I think.  My biggest concern wasn't that I couldn't physically do it, it was that I was afraid I'd hate everything that was a dairy replacement.  I have to say, I used soy yogurt, rice cheese, and a non-dairy sour cream all in the same meal and it was absolutely delicious!

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how close I can follow my new food preference tomorrow. It's going to be a little difficult because I'm on campus all day tomorrow but I'm leaving my debit card at home (my bank account is already cheering) and I've already packed my lunch (over stuffed the bag as usual!) so I should be okay.

I'm exhausted though so I think I'll go to bed early.
