Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I love that dish. Yummy!
On a burger bun with my secret sauce, artisan romaine lettuce leaves, grilled onions (no pickles), and deli swiss cheese.
Tonight must be hamburger night.
Hi Elaine, welcome back!
Ate a salad with Atlantic smoked Salmon from a package. Salmon was salty.
I don't yet have a real diet plan, but followed dinner with easter-candy dessert.
I have already limited myself to one egg only, and need to cook eggs separately
from Dh now.
If I call it a "diet", I will definitely self-sabotage. Salad and I do not usually get along. But not going to panic, yet.
I could be wrong about the association, but if I eat only a salad, or only something very healthy, I cannot go to sleep. So when I was awake from 3 a.m. that is when I tried the candy. Sheesh.
I have started mine a few weeks ago, but did not do well. Getting off the sweets after a year of baking and consuming them is not easy for me. I gained ten pounds over the year. I am going to try again, walk every day which I just recently started, eat more fruits and vegetables, green salad and beans for a start. Keep us posted. It is nice to see someone else on a diet and reaching their goals.
But will miss Elaine 1962, who left the forum recently, after reaching her goal weight. Enjoyed reading her diet choices,
Congratulations Elaine1962!
Love natural remedies.
Our oldest daughter came over today. We packed a nice lunch and ate at a nearby park.
We weren’t hungry for dinner.
My daughter and husband enjoyed a dish of ice cream instead of dinner! I drank a cup of tea.
Ahhh, heavenly. I don't need anymore today. I am still enjoying that piece. It is not cheap but well worth the $$$.
Yes, I should have cooked it for me!
NHWM,
You could have made corned beef dinner and just made yourself a small amount of cabbage in a different pot! I cook my corned beef in my slow cooker and in a big pot I boiled my potatoes, carrots, and cabbage in chicken stock! I'm Irish on my dad's side 4th generation. My SO is Italian as well & we eat a lot of Italian food! LOL! But I still love my potatoes! 🍀
Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t like cabbage!
So, I am going to take meatballs out of the freezer, and cook some spaghetti and we will celebrate my husband’s Italian heritage.
It is funny because normally we have a few parades at this time of year (of course, canceled due to Covid) but there is one that combines both. It’s an Irish/Italian parade! It’s always a good time.
I am Irish on my father’s side. I am a ‘wanna be’ Italian though. So, I will enjoy the meatballs.
I could have a Guinness or an Irish coffee. 😂
I prepared left over homemade meat sauce with thin spaghetti noodles and three frozen Chrispy Chicken Strips, I heated in the Airfryer. My new kitchen applicance I do like very much, next to my IP! With frozen Broccoli Florets I heated and served my DH and my dear Mom (who we are now living with and being her caregiver).
My dad passed away August 2019 and that is when we noticed things were not quite normal for my mom. He never told us so we had to figure things out for ourselves.
So now I'm here caring for my mom who was sadly diagnosed with moderate dimentia/alzheimer's in 2019.
