The first week is easy and filled with enthusiasm. Then reality hits you as you realize the old stand-bys of spaghetti or tostadas are no longer available to you. You have to make a whole new list of "go-to" recipes. And that is a daunting task. This is a journey I have just started. I am keeping my food journal here so that when you are in a rut or are starting to panic you can look here for ideas and perhaps even inspiration.

Steak with Lime Marinade

My all time favorite steak marinade. 
It gets a slightly caramelized, tangy flavor - and its super easy with only 5 ingredients!

o    1/3 cup lime juice
o    2 tablespoons soy sauce
o    2 scallions, thinly sliced
o    2 tablespoons, minced fresh ginger (1 teaspoon ground)
o    ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
o    1 ½ pounds steak: skirt, top sirloin, top round
*  Combine in a large resealable bag, add steak and refrigerate about 1 hour (more for tougher cut such as London broil), turning occasionally.
