Such a nice day, went for an hour-long walk with the pups this morning and it was lovely.  Came home and cut my rhubarb - I had a lot!  Made rhubarb compote, experimental rhubarb jam using gelatin, rhubarb juice from the liquids, and a rhubarb crumble made with almond flour and coconut oil for the crumble part.  Use EZ-Sweetz to sweeten all of them and some davinci syrup in the crumble. Hope it turned out ok. Will it eat it until I get sick of it then freeze the rest. 

B - 2 ww toast with cream cheese and sf blueberry jam

L - baked hot wings and thin crust saracha chicken pizza

D - stir fry: tofu, garlic greens (omg delish), mushrooms, onions, carrot, celery. (no starch just veg)

Snack: sf rhubarb jam, rhubarb crumble, homemade sf tomato salsa

 Days like today really renew my spirit!

Your crumble sounds sooo good!

Yayyy for renewed spirits!

Thank you!  The crumble turned out quite nice but I should have used more rhubarb, the ratio was off.  I got the idea from a low carb recipe site. Mix coconut oil, almond flour, and cinnamon to make the crumble part. Just read that rhubarb has a laxative effect so will keep that in mind.  I may just buy some strawberries to try mixing those in too, makes a nice combo. 

Happy first year surgiversary, Tanya! Wishing you continued success and good health. xo

Been very out of sorts the past few days so I haven't been up to too much other than little things to make me feel good - pedi/mani (she was very gentle with my toe lol), walking and enjoying the sunshine, cooking healthy, delicious things ... the usual "make Karen feel better" crap. ;)

B - coffee with cream x 3 over the day, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I start everyday with this - only way I can choke back my handful of meds)

S - crustless quiche

L - 1/2 bagel with grilled chicken salad

S - Premier protein shake, frozen banana and strawberries

D - chili, 1/4 cup shredded old cheddar

S - not sure yet, definitely something protein-y

Hope you're having a great Saturday :)

Thank you Karen! It's very important to do the "make Karen feel better" crap, keep doing it!
