Low Carb Meal Ideas...Its January, right?

This is a "quick and dirty" post.  I am just listing menu titles...not going to give descriptions.  I figure blog readers who care can extrapolate from the idea and cook their own food, right?  Right.

Everything will be dairy free, nut free, and of course grain free starch free because, low carb...

You are going to have fun! I'm working on a similar project this month, but it's easier, as I have not even one other person expecting me to cook for them.

God's blessings in the new year!
