Ok, I'm getting hungry! I could go on and on, as you can see everything is normal food I just made it healthy. There has been a few disasters we won't talk about but if I'm not sure or want a new idea I just google it...It's that simple. A recipe site usually pops up and I fine what I want with all the nutrition info. Alright, enough for now, I have to eat some lunch I'm starving!
God Bless.
