What would you grab and why? 2~What is one characteristic you received from you parents that you want to keep, and one you wish you could change? 3~What is your most creative recipe for either a food or a drink that you either created or discovered as part of your new post op diet??? Have a wonderful day!! Kay

Kay, What a great post!! For me,, I would grab my 3 cats & 3 dogs (hubby would get out himself) & that would take all of my 30 seconds I would keep my organizational skills of my dad & I would change the shopping addiction that my mom gave me...lol The most creative recipe that I've made is for Chicken Parmesan Put about a cup or 1 1/2 cups of grated parmesan cheese into a large plastic bag--add a bit of garlic powder (depends on how much you like) and some salt & pepper..shake it all up Take skinless boneless chicken breasts --poke some holes into the meat then dredge them through an egg wash- put them into the bag & shake until coated Bake the covered chicken in oven for about 15 minutes--then add a jar of Bertoli organic spaghetti sauce into pan & bake for an additional 45 minutes--it is delicious!!!!
