Wow Todd, I was reading this and say.... this thread sounds familiar... and it was.. a year ago. Congrats on the new purchase, enjoy the healthier eating.. also something I have been playing with the last year is whole grain foods... not grinding it but cooking it whole and adding it to reciepes. wheat, with sausage, kale (or spinach or broccoli) sun dried tomatoes, topped with parmasan or balsamic. Good healthy and filling.
