Week 3 Meal Plan:

  So, between the weather (it's been relatively hot here in NY) and my love for air conditioning, my body has been conflicted over what to eat. I assume most of you feel similarly. I stuck with usual hot dinners, but I think next week, I will work in some "salad nights"- where there will be some cold type of salad or meal, so those of you who have decks can enjoy the outdoors before it gets hotter.
