End of Week and Saturday Update

Good afternoon!! I hope everyone is having a great Saturday!! I am so far. It has been busy. Sorry I am a couple days late on my blog. Life has gotten in the way again!!

Let's get started.

Thursday
Breakfast -- muffin and banana
Lunch -- hot turkey sandwich and baked potato from Danver's
Dinner -- chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuit

Friday
Breakfast -- muffin and banana
Lunch -- chicken, black eye peas, macaroni & cheese and cornbread muffin from Abbay's
Dinner -- homemade BBQ chicken pizza and sweet tea.

I am going to stop here and tell you about this pizza it is wonderful and low in calories!!! I buy the Kroger brand pizza dough that you make. It is so easy to do and the best part is is low calorie. The pizza feeds 3 (4 if you do a salad too). There are 640 calories in the entire pizza crust. Then I take 3 pr 4 chicken breast tenders and cut them up into tiny pieces and brown them in a skillet with Pam Spray. The chicken for all is 100 calories. Then I put BBQ sauce on the pizza dough which is 60 calories. Then I slice up an onion and put that on there. Then I put the cooked chicken and top with cheese. I don't have my cheese bag but it was low fat 2% cheese. So I think 1/3 of the pizza is like 400 calories at the most!! I think that is a great meal then add a salad.

Saturday
Breakfast -- eggs, bacon, biscuit, gravy
Lunch -- I haven't ate yet so it will be a lunch and dinner meal.

Jamie had some volunteer work today for Key Club selling some Christmas trees. She worked from 9-12 and had alot of fun.

Then we went and got our hair cut and brows waxed. I am now waiting on my color to finish. Hold on...

My color is now done and I have started dinner. I am cooking sauteed chicken with mushroom and onions, green beans, bow tie pasta and cheddar garlic biscuits. It smells so good!!

Well, that is about everything so far for today!!

Thanks for dropping by!!

Today

Good Evening!!

I hope all is well for you on this Monday evening.

My day was pretty good except for a little worry mid day. My daughter's school was on lock down due to a previous student posting a hit list on facebook. The school and local police worked promptly protecting the kids in school and finding the young man. He was arrested and will hopefully get the help he needs. No one was hurt so at least we know their procedures work well.

I did well food wise today.

Breakfast - honey nut cheerios and 2% milk.
Snack - banana
Lunch - sandwich and chips
Dinner - club sandwich and chips
Snack - sugar cookie

So 1 day down on the eating at home goal.

Now I am off to exercise....nothing major since I haven't done much lately. I think I will do some light activity.

Thanks for dropping by and have a good night!!

Life Update

Good Evening!! It's been a busy, busy weekend (and last week was busy too). It was nice though and I got alot done but I am tired.

My niece is having a baby boy in about 9 weeks (or is it 10 weeks) and we had 2 showers this weekend. It was a ton of fun seeing everyone and all the adorable baby stuff. I can't wait for her to have him. She will make a wonderful mother!!

Last night after the first baby shower, I made this snack that we tried at the shower. It has chex cereal, m&m, peanuts, pretzels then melted almond bark. Once it hardens you break it up and put it in a container. It is very yummy and so easy to make.

This morning I made sausage casserole for breakfast.

• 2 cans of crescent rolls
• 1 roll of sausage
• 1 block of cream cheese.
• Put 1 can of crescent rolls in a pan. I use a glass casserole pan and spray with Pam spray.
• Brown sausage and drain.
• Then mix with cream cheese in pan until melted and mixed together.
• Put on top of the dough (it is not cooked) and top with 2nd can of crescents.
• Bake as directed on the crescent can. I have to put mine on the lower rack for a few minutes to get the bottom brown).

For dinner I put chicken breast and baked beans in the crock pot. They were not very tasty so I will not be doing that again.

My goal for this week is to exercise 5 times and to cook dinner every night.

At this point, I don't have anything planned this week until Saturday. I have a Disney Vacation Presentation scheduled for Saturday. I am looking forward to a quiet week.

Thanks for dropping by!!

Until next time, have a Magical day.
