I like the suggestions and am incorporating them into my family's diet. However I would have loved to see some without meat. While the rest of my family eat meat, I am a vegetarian

I absolutly love all these recipes! I'm looking forward to making them for my family:) I know that they get to eat a well balanced diet because I have the time to make them. I'm able to do this because I work from home. Bringing in an income makes our family balanced, secure and balanced. If you had ever thought about making that move, (or would just like some extra cash) go to essentialconsumption.advancingwithus.com to learn more about it. I look forward to sharing:)
