3 years ago we as a family changed our way of eating, we decided to go for local grown and organic food. But also to cook from scratch all the time. These past week I have decided for myself to eat less meat during the week. Last week I ate no meat, no pasta, no rice , potato for 5 days and instead drank a juice (kale, broccoli, grass, papaya, ginger, beets, carrots and green apple) then for lunch I would have kale salad and other greens. For lunch I would have a big salad.
I have to say I didn't miss the meat , nor the rice or the potato in the weekend then I would have chicken or fish. So this week I started with a yummy chicken noodle soup enough for 2 days and then had a side salad with it.
I have to say the kids ate a baguette with the soup and they eat rice , pasta and potatoes.
