aKathy's What's for Dinner? 1/28

Everything continues to go smoothly here. I saw my doctor again today and he is happy with how it all looks. I am allowed to start water aerobics from tomorrow now that the staples are out and the wound is healed up. My pain levels are remarkably reduced, so much so that I was speaking to the doctor about how to reduce my pain meds.

Lunch here today was spinach and feta strudel, which was very good. Dinner is German style rissoles with potato salad.

Good Morning Ladies!
Rainy gloomy morning here, so glad I'm working from home today. I'm tidying up my craft room/home office between work tasks today. DH has a Con't ed class until 3 so I have the house to myself.. I'm so much more productive when I'm home alone.

Dinner tonite will be home made pizza. Using up some peppers and Italian sausage.

Did I mention last week that our deep freeze was off for a couple of days. luckily we didn't loose anything,I did cook up some meat and re-froze it. Now I'm motivated me to use up what's in there.

Wishing everyone a happy productive day!

Spoken like a true PNP fellow tribe member!  Well done!  :-)  Congrats on your weight loss and for doing so well. I need to buckle down and get with it. Corrine is in my mind, but not integrated in my actions just yet. 

Im starting to feel a bit better, although the cough sounds awful!
I forgot to share that ds was invited to join the Honor Society for his major- good resume stuff!

Dinner tonight is leftovers of the Swiss Steak we had on Sunday. Dh has requested it be served over rice and I have no objection to that!

Hi ladies!

Today is dd's long awaited therapy appt. She sent me a message about 11 this morning asking if I could pick her up from school. She thinks her nerves about the appt upset her stomach/ intestines and sent her to the bathroom a couple of times. She just wanted to come home so I went and got her. She's relaxing here now. I wish she wasn't so nervous. Hopefully things go well tonight. Her appt is at 5.

I sent a message to dd#1's doctor asking why we couldn't use a bone stimulator now vs waiting the 6 weeks. He said typically the deciding point is at 3 months... which to me said that insurance won't approve it until then(and he confirmed that). I asked about purchasing it oop. Yeah that's not happening at $1800. Ouch. So she has another 5 weeks until her next appt.

Dinner tonight dd#2's favorite - breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes, bacon/ chicken breakfast sausage, hash brown patties.

Have a good day friends!

By the way, you do know today is the 28th, right? 😊

Even funnier is that we all follow her anywhere, no matter what date she uses!    I hadn't even realized she had the date wrong until you posted this!  

I never know what the date is until I look at the bottom right corner of my computer.

Not sure what I'll fix for dinner. We're going down to the Bay Area Thursday until Sunday morning so I need to plan my week out. We're meeting with a client on Thursday, DH is golfing with his old group on Friday and that evening I'm meeting with my old Lunch Bunch group for dinner. Saturday we have a reunion with the group we traveled to Italy with in September. Sunday we come home to watch our Niners in the Super Bowl. Fun weekend!

scrapmaven is having a tough week with the date!

Meetings all around tonight, so I'll pick through the fridge once I get home.

Hi ladies, hope all your day goes well, I enjoy reading about your to do stuff!

I have left over costco roast chicken that I stripped off the carcass last night to prep for today. By the way, I discovered an easy way to do this. I hate trying to strip the meat off a cold from the fridge chicken, it's so hard to do. I plop it on the trivit in the Instant Pot with a little bit of water and hit the 'steam' button, it goes for 10 minutes. I swear the chicken comes out as if I just picked it up from the store again. I wait a bit for it to cool down some, then I just put on some plastic gloves and it just all slips off the bones.

Just thought I'd share that tip because it made my life so much easier.

IDK what to do with the left over chicken now. It's warming up today here in So Cal, and now I don't feel like making the enchilada soup I'd planned. Maybe I'l make some tacos instead, with some cauliflower rice cooked 'Mexican rice" style.

I love Corrine and PNP. My girlfriend joned the tribe and shared some of her stuff with me. I'm struggling back and forth with the same 10 pounds and it's driving me crazy. I need that 10 pound cushion to stay safe at "Goal" on Weight Watchers so I'm trying to be good all week, only to blow it on the weekends and have to start all over.

Maintaining can be harder than losing, I swear. It sounds so stupid to say that but it's true.

Have a lovely week ladies!

that's always my intent but after a CC run, putting the food away, getting dinner I'm usually so over smelling it I can't do it, lol. IDK after a while that smell gets to me, so I stick it the fridge after we'd eaten some of it for dinner.  I'm weird. 

I'm back to the drawing board. Dd asked me to make something quick for lunch today. She has 30 min. before she has to be back to school. I made our venison chops I had defrosted. Spaghetti and garlic bread would be quick and easy before shes off to play pep and for a basketball game tonight.

Restless Spirit oh gosh, yes that's exactly me! I go after work during the week because I avoid CC on the weekends like the plague, but still it's always such a PITA!

I'd hate having mine to be shut down, I buy at least one or two a month so yeah, that would suck to have to sit through a remodel w/no roast chicken!

and yeah, the meat slips off so easily after steaming it, and those little disposable gloves are great too, I hate that greasy hand feeling after. I use them when I do meatballs too.
