Here’s what we ate this month.
{An explanation as to why I’m doing this can be found in January 2015.}

Lessons from the month: we ate a lot of cous cous. Also, a lot of people fed us this month, which means I didn’t do a ton of cooking. As a result, I am in a bit of a dinner rut. Let’s see if we can fix that this month.
