Recipes March 25-31

It's almost April!!  And I have good news!  I've cut out lactose foods from my diet and BOY DO I FEEL GOOD!  I've discussed my stomach issues here before and thought I might have some sort of fructose issue.  I came to that conclusion after my stomach did flips from eating apples.  I continued to have the issues, however, so I tried the gluten-free thing.  Still had issues.  And then...I drank a milkshake.  My stomach immediately cramped up but it didn't occur to me what was going on until the next day when I had another milkshake with the exact same results.  That's when I decided to cut out dairy and see how I did.  For the first time in a long time I was able to go through the workday without being uncomfortable.  Nice.  I was telling my sister that I really don't know if I'm lactose intolerant or what, but honestly...I don't care.  As long as what I'm doing (or not doing as is the case) is helping, that's all I care about.  Here are this week's recipes:
