Just put a roaster full of cabbage rolls into the oven. I couldn't buy any bison yesterday, so I just used lean beef...the calorie and fat count will be higher so I used more rice and vegetables this time. The smell is just starting to waft through the house...mmmmm home!!!
This morning, hubby got ambitious and made gluten free pancakes for our combo lunch/breakfast....now that was a taste sensation with ice cold milk! Lots of maple syrup, too. For supper, we will attack the cabbage rolls, and for snack we still have the major portion of the platter of veggies we bought at Costco yesterday. I am finding that tray is well worth it's price, as already it has provided one entire meal and the veggies for the cabbage stuffing - there is still a ton left, too.
There is my exciting menu for the day. Julia Child I am not!

Another bug...
in our house...causing sore throats and general lethargy. I did manage to go to the dentist today for a cleaning, and then to Costco for an "egg run" - I must be sick....our bill was only seventy-five dollars, and that included a Fisher-Price petting zoo for our little darling! The problem lies in the antibiotics that I have to take prior to a dental apointment. Inevitably, I get sick very soon after. You can't win for losing, can you?
Meals today were simple, but tasty:
Breakfast: McCain's breakfast potatos (2/3 cup for 120 cal) two eggs and two pieces of bacon. Milk.
Lunch: we bought a veggie tray at Costco and dove into it when we got home! I didn't realize that Marzetti's dip was also included, so we totally enjoyed the munching.
Supper: 2/5 of a Freybe Farmer's sausage, 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and 1/2 cup of creamed corn.
Snack: Hopefully, Rick will remember to bring this sicky wife of his a salty snack! Something resembling popcorn would be preferable! Salt and sugar are the universal healing foods in my books!

A quiet day....
spent watching daytime tv. Sometimes you just have to do that! I made a roasted chicken for supper, with baked yams and green peas. I thickened the pan juices with a bit of Celamix bread mix to make a gravy, and it was GOOD! We have a luncheon to go to tomorrow at noon, and I think, to be on the safe side, that I will take a bit of food with me, just in case. It seems that the least little thing really ties me in knots these days, so it is best to just avoid any chance of contamination, by sticking to the tried and true.
Today's Menu:
Breakfast/lunch combined: two egg omlette with a bit of Havarti (2 T tops) , two slices of bacon, V8 juice and an apple
Snack: Lay's plain potato chips
Supper: 2 oz of chicken breast, 1/2 cup of peas 1 baked sweet potato and about 2 tsp of butter, 12 oz of milk
Snack: had to have another salty snack. Now the chips are all gone, and I am seriously considering not even bringing them into the house again...however, this bag was about a month old, so maybe it isn't as much of a problem as I am thinking it is today! Chips just go with TV for me,an irresistable combination. After all, you need to consume potatoes to become the couch variety, right?

Playing hookey
this morning, since Thunder Bay water is still affecting the man! It is a grey day out there, so we are having a nice breakfast before we tackle the day. It was an eventful week for Rick, since he had his car broken into while away...the rear window was smashed but nothing was taken. This car can not go away fast enough to suit me. For the last few months this car has been a nightmare through no fault of its own, just age. Does that ring true for most of us, or what? LOL
So, this morning, we are having oven fries, eggs, bacon and coffee...and milk of course. That ought to get us up and running! I am still having a problem being interested in supper though...would rather just have fruit or a bit of cheese at night, and that is not working for my blood sugar. So, today, I am going to get a cabbage and make some cabbage rolls. They are quick to reheat out of the freezer...providing any get in there! And the bonus is that they make a nice light supper, that I actually would eat. Last night Rick heated up some egg rolls and had the good grace to take them to the family room to eat. My how I miss egg rolls! I should really learn to make them myself, but what a lot of fussing for one time. I am not so sure that the rice wraps would hold up too well to freezing, so I guess my best bet is to save myself for visits to Thai restaurants!
So, breakfast today is eggs, chips, bacon and milk
lunch - hmmmmmm? Although I do have some good pea soup at hand....
supper - double hmmmmmm????

Thursday
After a very busy week, I have learned something. Do not take food from anyone's plate! I begged a pickle from my friend yesterday, and didn't even think about it being in contact with her wrap, but yep. The proof was in the ...... fill in the blanks! When will I learn? We cut shopping short, and I came home to spend the rest of the day getting over the effects. So, that finished my week of adventure with a "blast"!
Today is another day. This morning I woke to the delivery of my new winter coat. I freeze in the winter, and a long, furry coat is a definite necessity. I was thrilled to find that this one fit, and was very, very long. A definite must have. Last year, my "warm" coat was just too big to wear, and I found myself staying home in the evenings to avoid chilling to the bone. Now all I need is an over the top silky scarf to complement the coat. Do not be alarmed if you see a rather large furry leopard in the snow this year. It is only me! By the way? If you are in need of a good fun fur, check out TSC for good buys on Olympia fun furs, quick, before they are all gone! I got mine for a little over half price. Sure can't beat that deal!
I haven't posted my menus lately because they have been tediously the same, day after day, and I thought I would bore you. Today though, Rick is coming home, so there will likely be something on the table at supper time.
Breakfast today was Superfries (McCain oven fries) and two eggs, lunch was a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar. If left to my own devices, supper would likely be plums and strawberries. But, since we are doing the 'hail the conquoring hero' thing, I just might dig out the cornflakes and have a two course dinner for him - if he brings home some milk! Lately, I have lost all interest in supper. Breakfast, however, maintains its glory and is still my favourite meal of the day, I eat whatever I please, with no regrets! It really does see you through the day, both nutritionally and emotionally. Who wants to waste calories on silly supper things you don't even like, when there is bacon in the morning!
