Join us for the Break the Sugar Habit Challengein June!
Earlier this week I shared my thoughts about food as a moral issue, how food restrictions affect relationships and our on-the-go menu plan for this week. Today, I wanted to share some more recipes and resources with you to encourage you throughout this challenge!
Recipes
Although we started with a pretty good list of recipes, I’m already feeling pretty bored with the list. I need some more variety and soon, or I just may give into my cravings for bread! I’ve included a bunch of recipes below, but please share your recipes, meal plans and ideas in the comments as well.
By the way…it seems like it’d be really easy to go sugar-free and gluten-free in one swoop since you eliminate most bread when you eliminate sweetener anyway. I’m definitely not avoiding grains on purpose, but there’s no doubt I’m eating a ton less than usual.
