Our family's goal to eat less sweets for a month is illustrating how often we had a "little something" during the day (afternoon tea, chocolate after dinner, at night...). I'm not on a "sugar is evil" kick, just a stepping back and making sweets a sometimes treat again, instead of the regular thing it had become (especially in the kids lunches...).
There has been a number of birthday parties and special dinners out in the last two weeks, so don't feel too bad for us. :-) My goal was really just to not have it regularly in our day-to-day life, so we've still had dessert at parties.
All that to say, no dessert in the menus or "Cookies in the Cottage" until after Valentine's Day...
Monday- Baked Ziti (or whatever pasta shape we've got) and salad
Tuesday- Roasted Chicken, roasted potatoes and carrots, PW's turnip gratin, salad

I made lentil soup in the crockpot today too! I just use chopped onion, italian sausage, quart of chicken broth, 1 pound of lentils with additional water. Yum!
