let's lent

regardless of the meaning behind Lent and the warm fussy feelings when one passes up on forbidden fruit, those 40 days are difficult. They are made even more difficult if your forbidden fruit happens to be white starch. I tried to think of the hardest thing to give up and decided that I love my potatoes, rice, pasta…etc way too much! Now, for everyone that follows the latest food trend and loves eating healthy, this might not be such a bad month. HOWEVER, if you have no idea how to go without said starch, it proves more difficult. I started by making a list of foods that I cannot eat! I then tried to find yummy alternatives to my favorite staples. Here is my list:
Potatoes
Grits
Chips
Fries
White Bread
Pasta
White Rice
