Weekly Menu

This week brings a mix of new recipes and tried and true. I've had some very good luck with new recipes found at My Recipes (sponsored by the publisher of Southern Living, Cooking Light, Health, and a couple of other magazines). I can search for a recipe and look at just the Cooking Light choices, which has helped me immensely in my planning (and linking!). I can also search by rating, which I do, and have had plenty of five-star choices. I don't think we've had a loser yet.

I've been doing some reading on reflux and the more I read, the more I find that what was on the menu prior to the last month or so were not been good choices for Francis' stomach. As I mentioned in my King Cake post, high fat foods can be as bad for tender tummies as spicy and acidic. I have also learned that mint is an absolute no-no, as are onions, garlic, vinegar, pepper/peppers, and the obvious citrus, tomatoes and spicy foods.

Between Francis' reflux and Michael's allergies (and my picky 18 yo) it is getting harder and harder to find foods we can all eat.
