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.

Orange Chicken Marinade

In a large resealable plastic bag mix:
1/2 cup unsweetened orange juice
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup oil (I prefer to use olive oil for marinades, coconut gets clumpy)
1 T powdered garlic or 2 cloves minced garlic
1 t dried thyme or italian herbs
1-2 t crushed red pepper (to taste)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Add skinless chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour
