Nearing the end of the big detox

We're finally approaching the end of my husband's six week detox (no alcohol, no dairy (except yoghurt), no caffeine, no potatoes, no bananas, no wheat/oats/rye, no red meat except occasional lamb). While it has been a pain in the backside in many ways, it has also forced me to come up many new recipes and ideas to keep it interesting along the way.

I've found many new uses for yoghurt - salad dressing base, in mashed sweet potato, quick pasta sauce with loads of garlic and herbs to name a few. I have also expanded my curry repertoire and found some interesting wheat alternatives - kamut pasta anyone?

Baby is now sleeping so I'm off to attempt my latest creation - "lasagne" with pasta sheets replaced with zucchini strips. I will report back on how it turns out.
