MARY IN YOUR KITCHEN
By Mary McDougall

Here are some of my old favorite recipes, which I am excited to share with you. You will need to go to our newsletter archives at www.drmcdougall.com and occasionally to one of our books to find these recipes.  You can order books you don't now own from our site drmcdougall.com. I plan to provide similar helpful articles for you over the next few months.

Many of the dishes I have included this month can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until you need them for your meals.  Most McDougall meals reheat easily; in fact, some of them taste even better because the flavors of the food have had time to meld.  Many of these meal suggestions will also work in different ways, such as rolled up in a tortilla, stuffed into pita bread, or served in a whole wheat bun with some lettuce, tomatoes, onions & cucumbers or grated carrots to add some fresh, crunchy vegetables to your meal.
