Super Bowl Sunday

We were invited to a Super Bowl Party so my menu was moved to tonight. It is a good thing that we ate something before going because besides nacho and cheese everything else was desserts. Not good for this diabetic and her diabetic honey. At least they remembered diet coke this year. Next year I will make sure I bring something that we can eat like a veggie tray at least. Here is what we ate yesterday: Breakfast: cereal, banana and skim milk Lunch: salad with french on the side, grilled chicken and a small side of spaghetti with brown butter and garlic Dinner: a grilled chicken sandwich and cookies

grocery shopping and feb challenge

Yesterday was a generally lazy day. My ds got us lunch and we ate leftovers for dinner. I went to Kroger after dinner and got: 2 bags of tortilla chips 2 jars of salsa 1 lb of white beans 2 lb of carrots 1 container of cheese dip a half gallon of milk 2 bags of pistachios nuts Total spent: $17.90 Yesterday we ate: Breakfast: cereal, banana and skim milk Lunch: burgers and fries Dinner: leftovers

Feb Challenge

Ok today was a rainy day again. I didn't go anywhere until my bff came and got me to go to the cross stitch shop. ~smile~ My favorite shop. Meals today were: Breakfast: cereal, banana and skim milk Lunch: broccoli and cheese soup Dinner: date night with my honey- Mexican snacks: chocolate cookies

Feb Chaallenge

Rain, rain. I guess it is better for Tennessee then snow snow. ~smile~ I love snow though. My honey has already used all of his snow days though so I guess we better not have much snow. As for our meals yesterday: Breakfast: cereal and skim milk, banana Lunch: leftovers or cereal Dinner: baked chicken, broccoli with cheese, peas and carrots. Snack: popcorn Today is normally my shopping day but I do not have a car. So I will plan menus around what I have and see what I absolutely need. I will pick it up tomorrow or Monday. Sunday I like to try and stay home and relax after worship. Of course, this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday so I might have to purchase a few things for that. God Bless

Feb. Pantry Challenge

Yesterday I over did it. I went to my swim class in the morning and then in the afternoon I went mall walking. Today my neck is killing and I can't see the chiropractor till this afternoon. Eating wise was not bad. Yesterday we ate: Breakfast: cereal and skim milk Lunch: leftovers Dinner: baked fish, asparagus (from the freezer), peas and carrots

Finally.....

We are back to "normal". After three snow days and a five day weekend my honey is back to work. We heard on the radio, on the way to his carpool site, that his school district has used all of there snow days for this school year. Yeah. This means if there are anymore they are either go on weekends or tack it on the end of the year. I need to carry over the eating from the pantry challenge to this month. I didn't realize how much we eat out until last month. So I am hoping to eat from my pantry this month with only buying milk, fresh stuff and non food items unless I find an amazing deal on something we use. I am going to start today -- better late than never.

Snow !!!!

Yesterday we had a snow day in which we actually got measurable snow. Being from the north I really miss snow but folks here are not sure what to do in it My honey was off and my son only had to go for three hours before they closed. It started about 10:30 and by noon had over 2 inches in the front yard. It changed to sleet last afternoon and into the evening. This morning we had flurries again. My honey and I went for a drive and the main roads are good but the side roads - yuck - that is where it is really dangerous. They are so bad my congregation cancelled worship tomorrow. I had purchased soda and snacky foods on Thursday in anticipation of my honey being home as he is a teacher. So I did not panic like most people were. They normally forecast snow but we rarely get "snow". Meals yesterday were: Breakfast: cereal Lunch: hot dogs and chips Dinner: spaghetti and meatballs Meals today are: Breakfast: cereal Lunch: mexican Dinner: fish, carrots and either co...
