Week 6: Menu

This week's challenge is to start incorporating good fats into your diet, and reduce the bad ones.

I've decided to post a list for you to choose from, rather than a weekly menu (as it seems most people are picking and choosing anyway!!) All of the meals will include enough for two nights' dinners, for two people, so you'll be preparing dinner just three evenings (or if you're like me, all in one day to minimize cooking!). Adjust recipes accordingly if you are cooking for more than two.


Features
When necessary, prepare these early in the week so you have them on hand for recipes and munching!

Bread - Choose your own bread! (Note: If you are trying to lose weight, I would cut out the bread...)

Soup - Tomato Balsamic Soup

Snack - Peanut Butter Cups
