High Protein Mac-n-Cheese
Since about mid-December we’ve been focusing on eating more protein. I wouldn’t say we’re dieting per say, at least it certainly doesn’t seem like we’re dieting when I eat the food that we’re eating.

Mini Quiche – Two Ways: Roasted Tomato, Sausage & Spinach and Mushroom & Gruyere
