Hi, Lisa, and welcome. For any menu item that doesn’t suit you, you can click on it to make a change to something within the same food group. There’s no reason for you to have a meal you don’t like 🙂
Regarding budgetary issues, you also don’t need to buy anything that pushes things – we have a wide variety of options, and hopefully there is something there that fits. Fish is not a requirement.
As for recipes, you can take advantage of our large collection by either selecting some in the Menu Planner lists, or for recipes not yet in that system, matching the “Exchanges per Serving” at the end of a recipe you like (just before the “Comments” section) to those allotted to you at the meal of choice (you can see these by clicking on ‘Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu); the match doesn’t have to be perfect.
There is a lot of information and quite a few features on the site, so don’t feel pressured to dive in head first. Just wade in, easy does it…I’m happy to help in whatever way I can.
