My kiddos are learning their eating habits by what I bring in the house. Murdock is more at risk. He has asthma and his symptoms are drastically reduced when he eats a healthy diet. 30 days isn't going to do much for him year round.
Each day, I'll update the blog with the recipe and additions to the shopping list.
So here we go! Good Luck to all of Us!
