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.
Angel Hair Marinara with spinach and zucchini. Green salad, cup of vegetable soup
Water infused with lemon, watermelon and orange. Fresh Bing cherries (6)
Mom had tuna salad with vegan mayo, turnip and cabbage pureed, red pepper hummus, banana avocado pudding.
For me I barbequed hamburgers and sausages last night. Today I will steam broccoli and cauliflower for myself.
The only dinner my Mom and I both eat is when I buy fresh Salmon. I also cream spinach for Mom. Easy for her to eat and healthy.
I'm also on a diet, low carb, high protein. I plan on exercising today and everyday to get some weight off. I like Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds DVD's.

I did have fun! I also had some not so fun times...but I got to know some very fun and interesting people as well!😜
Gershun,
I have had enough hangovers for you and about 4 or 5 other people. Now, all I ever drink is 1 glass of wine with dinner every now & then...drank like a fish in my 20's. Thank God those days are gone!!
Re dieting, I have lost a few pounds. I have to eat low carb normally or I gain weight. Of course, I splurge sometimes (chocolate cheesecake anyone???). Depriving myself doesn't work.
I decided to eat more vegetables during the lock down and found roasted veggies are my faves. Meals, other than breakfast that work best for me are meat/fish/poultry and low carb veggies. I love a salad too but have to include protein of some kind. As we get older we need more protein, not less.
Now with all this talk of food, I am getting hungry!!!
