Can you believe it’s almost March? That means that my February Healthy Challenge is just about over and the March Healthy Challenge is about ready to start. However before we finally move on to March I want to make sure you have a go to week of post-cleanse friendly recipes to try.  These recipes will reintroduce some fermented soy products and gluten if you would like to.

At this point you can enjoy a glass of wine or a mug of coffee, if you so choose, but I have a feeling you might be more interested in green juice than black coffee.  Speaking of coffee I had my first 10 ounce regular coffee today, after a rough baby night, and I have to say it was terrible.  I was so wired it made me uncomfortable and I was shaky.  I have to say I’m a decaf convert.

This week is kind of a mess.  I honestly don’t have much to plan for as we are going to be eating out of the house many nights this week but I’ll take a shot at it.

Monday: Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry with Brown Rice

Tuesday: Very Veggie Taco Salad*

Wednesday: Midwife Appointment = dinner at American Flatbread- TRADITION!

Thursday: Restaurant Week Dinner at Pauline’s Cafe*

Friday: Dinner with friends (I know we’ll be bringing something I am just not sure what yet)

Saturday: Veggie Sausages with roasted potatoes and veggies

Sunday: TBD

Since we will be out to eat a bunch this week I need to pick up sandwich fixings for lunches.

Also hopefully on the menu this week will be cinnamon buns made by the husband!

*I wrote this before we went away for the weekend and the ingredients I came home with don’t really fit what I had initially intended so Tuesday and Thursday are up in the air and possibly Saturday as well.
