Sunday Roll Call

Good morning everyone......The food last night was great....Dawn I could have eaten that whole pie!  Yum!   I loved it all ....Daves' stuff too!  hidden protein!  smart!   Barry your little girl is a doll!  I'm thinking Miss Lucy was flirting with you....did you notice?  Ya know...we could fight over you....what a handsome guy you are!   Well I  have stuff to do.....have a good day hugs Pam

Good Sunday morning everyone.  It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.  Yesterday was the highlight of my week.  It was so great to meet everyone.  For those who couldn't make it, you were missed.  I really look forward to the next one.

Today, I am trying to clean out the fridge.  Every since surgery food just seems to accumulate in the fridge.  Even with my veggie spill last night at the party, I still have tons left over.  I think I will take it to work tomorrow and treat my coworkers.

This week is going to be busy preparing for Easter next Sunday.  My husband is Greek so we always celebrate both Easters.  We don't really do much for the religous side of Orthodox, but we really get into the food and traditions of it.  I would like to start on my cookies today.  Nothing sugar free here, so I'll have to bake them and put them out of site.  Tuesday, I'll start on my spinach pie.  Depending on my energy level, later in the week maybe pastitsio (greek lasagna).   Everyone enjoy your day, ~Michelle

OH how I miss Greek Easter! My Dad died two years ago and since then my sister doesn't cook anymore. Or, if she does, we're never invited. LOL Anyway, Would it be too much to ask you to share some of your Greek Recipes? I do know that there is a bariatric friendly baklava recipe around.

I'm sorry for the loss of your father. Its hard to get or keep families together for the holidays when we start losing people.   I don't mind sharing my recipies, but their not wls friendly.  I haven't begun to try to adapt them.  For me, I will probably concentrate on the lamb this year and some spinach pie since spinach has iron in it.  I do want to try to make braised lamb as I think it would be easier to get down, although I've never made it before.  How about I just pm you some recipies?

Good afternoon everyone....my daughter hasn't arrived yet to help me change my avatar, and to download my pictures.  I was so glad to meet everyone yesteday...can't wait til we meet again. Enjoy this beautiful sunny day!

good afternoon illinois!  we have been looking at houses in Geneva, IL.  thinking of moving.  also looked at a couple in Palos Park.  While in Geneva, we went for lunch and i chewed each and every bite 25 to 30 times!!!  (i am practicing!)  and then we all too a long walk down to the river front and the kids played at the park.  i think we walked about 2 miles.  a good pace too, since my 4 y.o was running ahead! I am starting my exercise plan to get out at least 30 min a day.  i am getting soooo excited and nervous!! eeekkkk!

Hey everyone.

 

Late checking in I know, but with such a beautiful day I had to get out.

 

The kids and I got up and went to the early service at church today. After, our neighbor took my girls to their house to play while his wife and I went power shopping at Penny's.  It was a blast!  I got a new pair of jeans for $6 and a couple new pants and shirts.  

 

I had to try them on!!!!!  Oh the joy of shopping. LOL

Then we came home and the girls played in the sprinkler and I cut the grass (huge NSV).

 

Now it's off to baths and showers. Then my daughter's coral reef project and dinner.

Hope everyone had a good day!!!
