My First Year -- The Recipe Book

I've being thinking a lot about how to commemorate my first year. May 25th is my day, the first day I started to change my life (I need a name for it, but for now its Healthy Me day). Incidentally, my last day of class here in CU will be May 22nd, exactly 52s week from my very first class in the program. So, I've also been thinking about bringing something to class to share with everyone. Well today I had the perfect idea, both for food and maybe for a little gift. I won't tell you the food, because it still in the experimental phase, but the gift, hopefully, will be a little recipe book, with the recipes that I've used, and invented during my year in the program. As I write it up, I will probably also post the recipes here. and I will update this post periodically with links to "sections" of the cookbook. I will also mark recipes as fasting safe or HS safe.
