I get so overwhelmed with it all! I will look that book up, I want to get it all right. I just started this and had to relearn about nutrition, I was so old school! I was very discouraged at first because all the recipes looked so exotic and had so many new flavors compared to the standard fare I cooked. I never thought the family would change. Amazingly enough, they not only tried new foods, but as a whole, they like most of them. The lamb however, was an interesting story...
Lamb smells. I don't know if there is a trick to get rid of that, I didn't read the notes on it in the tip section. But it really smelled. I started the Tuscan-style lamb with white beans and went to the store. I came home and finished it up. My husband said it tasted like it smelled, my daughter, who is usually my best supporter, thought it was too slimy. My oldest boy, who I think had his eye on a PB&J decided he didn't like it and the 5 year old, who usualy decides everything is poison, asked for more! I liked it, but during clean up, I decided I had enough of the smell. I always ask the gang for two tries on anything, so perhaps we will have better luck with the other recipe, especially if I read up a little about lamb before doing it again.
Thanks for the pasta tips, the gang is looking forward to a plain old spaghetti night and the thought of that had made me terrified to make it. I just found low carb tortilla shells too! Yippee!
