Week 6: Do not eat any food products that are labeled as “low-fat,” “lite,” “light,” “reduced fat,” or “nonfat.”
The idea here is that if fat is being taken out of your food, it's either being replaced or is just proportionally higher in carbs or something else, so ultimately there is not an overall benefit over the less processed version. We have been following this rule more and more so there wasn't much that we needed to avoid in the refrigerator or pantry.
For Whitney's birthday I made one of her favorites, risotto with scallops. For Tuesday I picked a recipe out of a new cookbook we just got, the Vegetarian entry in the Food Made Fast series. For Thursday I picked a favorite crockpot dish of mine that we haven't had in a while.
Monday - Salmon, orange jicama avocado salad
Tuesday - Mushroom risotto with scallops
Thursday - crockpot chicken adobo
Friday-Sunday - visiting friends in Virginia!
Sunday - leftover chicken pot pie from freezer

Birthday cake looks wonderful! Happy Birthday again! Scallops look wonderful. We do pretty good with challenge most of the time. Going back to trying new foods. We tried chia seeds after reading your post. We liked on a toss salad. Still have to get the second new food.
