What's to Eat?

Four Weeks!!

That's how long we've been on our lifestyle change diet.  I haven't had a soft drink in 4 weeks!!!!  I almost don't think about it anymore except when I'm real hot, then I want a Dr. Pepper.  I was addicted folks!

I have one more day to take Prednisone and then I hope to be outta this "I'm Hungry all the time" mood.  Today for lunch I roasted organic carrots and asparagus in the oven, made Uncle Ben's wild rice cooked in vegetable broth with some fresh parsley, portobello mushrooms and toasted pecans added in at the end and we had the BBQ meatballs from last night's post.  For dessert was fat free Strawberry sorbet. Yum!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all my blogging buddies.

Thanks to all of you that have sent Get Well wishes. I'm not feeling much better today, but I'm sure I'll get there soon. Hopefully by going to work time tomorrow!!! :> (

The hubby and I didn't get to go to the family lunch today at my sister's house. I will miss my niece Jamie's baby shower this afternoon too, but I sure wouldn't want to spread these germs around. We just enjoyed a nice lunch at home. The hubby is watching the Masters on tv and I'm settled in to a Hallmark channel movie. Watched 3 of them last night. Great movies this weekend!!

A New Favorite
One of my new favorite foods is roasted asparagus. All of these years I've turned up my nose and said I didn't like asparagus and I don't think I ever really tasted it. I've discovered that I love it. Especially when it's on sale because it can be quite pricey. L.o.w.e.s Foods had it on sale this week for 1.29 a pound. I bought two big bundles. All I do is trim the big ends off, rinse it good, place it on a cookie sheet covered in foil, drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven at 400 until it's tender and starting to get a little crispy on the outside. I turned it every once in a while with the tongs to make sure it cooks evenly. Yummy with some wild rice and toasted almonds.
