Weekly Menu for May 22, 2023

Hi friends! I'm back with the menu for this week. I know, I missed last week's menu. Last week was rough. I didn't feel good. I didn't really menu plan. I didn't eat enough veggies. All of that equaled the scale going up on weigh in day. I'm not even upset because of that. I'm more upset that my sugar was off sooooo much during the week and I felt bad because of it. When the readings were between 121-127 I had the most horrible headaches. I had a headache for 4 days. I told Billy was tired of my head hurting. Thankfully, yesterday and today I am feeling better and my sugar is around 119.

On to the menu...I really want some turkey. Like Thanksgiving Day turkey. So, that is definitely on the menu this week.

Monday - slow cooker chicken teriyaki with riced cauliflower and zucchini and squash

Tuesday - turkey breast and a broccoli casserole

Wednesday - tacos

Thursday - chicken strips and a Mediterranean salad

Friday - Big Mac Salad

I'm really hoping we will be going home next weekend. This job is wrapping up and I am missing home.

Until next time...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot. But ya'll. I'm originally from south Louisiana, I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf! I totally went off any eating plan while there. Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food. If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

Hi friends!! I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while. So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness. And it comes with a story. Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program. If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out. Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!! I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls. Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt. Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023. I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month. I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Long Time No See

Hi there! It's been a hot minute since I've visited with you. Let me catch you up on what's been going on. I think the last time I was here was back in October. That would totally make sense because I got a new full time job at the end of October that had me working 50 hours a week. With all that work going on I had little time for anything else. Good news (or bad, depending on your point of view) is that the job is over and I am back to being a stay at home wife again. There will be plenty of time to catch up on cross stitch and quilting. My needles will be happy since my poor sewing machine has not been touched since November! Once again, I am back to tracking food. I gained back 10 pounds while working. My body hurts again and I don't want to ache. So, I am taking it day by day. Positive thinking. Good food choices. I got this. The holidays came and went. All the girls are doing good....

Until Next Time...
