Weekly Menu for May 8, 2023

 Hello, Friends!  I'm back with another weekly menu.  I know, I missed last week.  I didn't feel too good at the beginning of the week and then after I was busy the rest of the week and missed coming back to chat.  Weigh in was good for the last two weeks.  I lost 2.6 over them.  BUT, I ate off plan over last weekend and truthfully was up 3.2 on Monday morning when I started the Summer Slim Down Challenge in the Optavia group I'm in.  So since Monday I have lost 4.5 at the writing of this.  And if you notice, there is a correlation between eating off plan, not feeling good and weighing more.  One day I might learn that my body doesn't do well with certain foods.

Speaking of the Summer Slim Down Challenge, they challenged us to set two goals, one scale victory and one non-scale.  My scale victory is to be down 10 pounds (13.9 if you count where I started on the 1st). I'm looking at numbers I have not seen since 2015ish. My non-scale victory was going to be to fit into a pair of bluejean shorts I bought that did not fit when I bought them.  I tried them on to see where I was with the fit and guess what?!  THEY FIT!  In fact, I have them on today!  So, I had to pick a different NSV.  When I bought those denim shorts, I also grabbed a pair of the cutest spearmint green Levi shorts with an elastic waistband.  They are sized XL.  They don't fit at all.  They're literally the smallest pair of XL shorts I've ever seen.  I buy XL often.  So, my goal is to have them slide on.  Even if they're tight as all get out.

In order to meet those goals, I need to eat good in the evenings.  So, without further ado, here's the plan for the week...


Monday - cilantro lime fish tacos
Tuesday - spaghetti.  Billy requested this after he saw a tiktok about a spaghetti sandwich LOL  I'll make the sauce and fix noodles for him and spaghetti squash for me.
Wednesday - chicken strips, green beans and mac and cheese.  I'm craving chicken nuggets.  I"ll use almond flour instead of regular flour to make them.  I also won't eat the mac and cheese.  I plan on putting cheese on the rest of the spaghetti squash from the previous night.
Thursday -  shrimp Cobb salad.
Friday - left overs

I'll be back during the week with a couple recipes I've loved from the last couple weeks.  I'm sure you'll like them too.  
Until next time....

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

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...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
