Welcome to the Real Food Boot Camp! *checks Feedburner* Hey, 19 RSS subscribers! Thanks for subscribing, by the way. Even if you're a bot. That's OK, because robots need love too.
This week I'd like to talk about your pantry. If you're like a lot of people you've either got it stuffed with convenience foods or it's nearly empty.
Convenience food out
If you've got one of those empty pantries, you don't have to worry about this. The rest of you, I want you to go find a box or a bag or something roomy enough to hold all the crap food in your pantry. Don't worry, we're not purging yet. We're doing baby steps here. Take out what you would normally eat for dinner tonight and put it in your container. Be honest. Were you going to make tacos with that Old El Paso kit and serve them with that box of Rice-a-Roni and a pitcher of Crystal Light? Then maybe finish with a boxed cake mix or some pudding? Put all this stuff into that box/bag. Now put the box/bag in your basement or a closet.
Fresh food in
This week it would be easier if you would follow the plan exactly. If you don't want to that's fine -- just please don't replace crap with crap. Time to go shopping! I'm going to give you three recipes to incorporate into this week. They're all easy enough for anyone to make. They're all meatless so feel free to add the protein of your choice.
Download the menu, shopping list, and recipes here.
Recipes anyone can make
This week's recipes are:
Veggie Burger Pitas, french fries, sliced apple
White Bean and Spinach Pizza, tomato and zucchini saute, parmesan toast
Spaghetti with spinach and veggie sauce, salad with croutons
The recipes are all in the main file but I'll post each recipe each morning it's planned.
If you have any questions on methods or substitutions, let me know!
