New Year, New Eats

Now that I'm over that nasty stomach flu I got the first of the year, I'm ready to make the eating changes I'd resolved to (try to) make myself do in 2010. Less meat, less sugar, more veggies, more local. I'm so ready to plant my seeds and get back into our CSA.
I need to read less or something though. I can't seem to get away from conflicting info. Soy is great, soy is terrible. Whole grains are great, gluten is terrible. Which fats are good and which are bad, and how the hell am I supposed to remember which is which?! Ok, so I can't keep it all straight, so we're going back to some of the most simple rules. I'm finding that I'm falling back to Michael Pollan's rule first and foremost: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." That, I can handle.
P's been really into making stir-frys lately. Yum. Tonight's was broccoli, celery, snow peas, a little beef, with a garlic, ginger, soy sauce over some Basmati rice. Trying to keep with my resolve, I stuck with only a couple pieces of the meat and chowed on the veggies. So good!
