i am so trying hard not to go buy junk food for the storm and the superbowl. I'm trying be good. I think I just need to start ordering groceries. I have food shopping issues.

I should allow myself one "goody" for the snowed in weekend. What will it be...hmmmm?

Nikki -

I, too, have food shopping issues, but it's changed a bit. For instance, today I bought shrimp, feta, cucumbers and tomatoes - I'll saute the shrimp in olive oil and Greek seasoning, and toss everything with Greek dressing and chill.

I also bought some ricotta cheese and whipped cream - I'm going to make a baked ricotta and serve it with blueberries and whipped cream.

You just have to think outside the box and get creative. I promise, it'll come naturally after a while.

I hope so... the darn band is so challenging with junk food! Maybe I will go get some crab and make some crab cakes and pumpkin whip from bariatric eating. I'm not big on leftovers more than 1x or 2x so I am finding cooking challenging post WLS cooking for 1 person . I have a huge thing of chili that I froze and could never eat it again and it would be too soon :(

Tia.....
you are too funny!
I actually had to go to the store today for TP because my daughter used the last & didnt tell me we were out! I was lucky though, the store I went in had sooooo many packs of TP it was off the shelves & stacked up on the floor! I guess they are anticipating a sell out of TP! It made me laugh though!
Can you post that baked ricotta recipe.....I seem to have lost it!

My brother's kids seem to EAT TP, so I made sure they had some last weekend!!! LOL!!!

Baked ricotta -

1 large container of part skim ricotta - 32 oz.
4 eggs
Splenda - start with 1/2 cup and increase to your liking
2 tsp. of extract - I've done vanilla, almond, lemon and orange - just use your imagination

Mix well - you can mix by hand or with mixer.

Pour into pie pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until set.

Enjoy!

In DC the line wrapped around the entire store at trader joes. I was so set on having veg broth for lunch but I couldn't deal with the line!

Sad, huh? The great thing about TJ's, though, is that they usually will ring the bell to get more lines open - my TJ's does that, anyway.

Gas stations are no better. I stopped at Royal Farm to pick up something on my lunch break, couldn't even get into the parking lot because of the lines at the pump!

I guess I lucked out. I went to the grocery store a couple of hours ago and it was busy but not too bad. And fully stocked on everything. Fortunately I'd done my big shop on Monday, so I was in and out within 15 minutes or so.

Batten down the hatches!!!
