Tips
- Sales - Try to buy meat that is on sale and look for the fruits and vegetables that are on sale.
- Best rule of thumb. If you are unsure whether you're allowed to eat it or not, you're probably not allowed.
- Leftovers.
- Prepared meals are easy and convenient.
- Cook with animal fats.
- Olive oil for dressing on a salad. Not a lot.
- If you are hungry...eat.
