I’ve feel un-thawed, alive, and closer to spring after a balmy early spring break in Nashville. I rested, meditated, plotted, planned, visited, and rested some more. No schedule was my schedule and I enjoyed every minute of the trip. As expected I dined on more than a few delicious meals courtesy of my Nashville mom Suzy as well as at some of my Nashville food landmarks. All of my meals featured fresh, whole, and real foods including beans, shrimp, and plenty of fresh veggies. I decided to include that theme in this week’s menu plan. Keeping the fare fresh and light with spring in mind. Remember to keep your dinner’s fresh, simple, and whole
