New Food Lifestyle, New Recipes

Ok, I had a tragic occurrence happen November 1st and then the holidays arrived and well... you know how that goes. My husband and I changed our food lifestyle this week and with it comes creating new meals. We no longer eat refined carbohydrates, any artificial colors, flavors, or, for the next three weeks, gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, or sugar. This means we drink water and eat meat, fruits, veggies, beans, and once a week, some rice pasta or quinoa. I have two new recipes to share the first is a Garlic Ginger Honey stir-fry.
