As the weather gets nicer and nicer, I crave more and more fruit. I haven’t eaten a muffin in weeks, and muffins are usually my choice indiscretion.

This past week I did not stick to my menu plan. Luckily I realized that the week wasn’t going to go as planned so I held off on shopping until I knew what I was going to need. I ate with my roommates a lot (N’s mom was visiting from HK), so I got to enjoy some great traditional Chinese food and on Tuesday we went out to a nice Thai place nearby. So this coming week’s menu has some of the things that I didn’t get to make last week. Sorry for the repetition! Also, Bobby is visiting this week – he gets in late Thursday night, so we might be eating out a lot this weekend.

Stay tuned for some tips later this week on healthy cooking. I’ll be putting together some of my favorite ways to substitute and alter recipes to make them delicious and good for you.
