What are you eating/doing today? (Tuesday)

Good morning everyone.  The holiday season is really hectic in this house, but that's OK, I can handle it (maybe).  I had a great visit with NewMe2.0 last week.  We did some retail therapy.  It was a lot of fun and we hope to do it again soon.  In 2 weeks I get to meet Zizzler again, can't wait.  We may make a trip to Low Carb Canada and see what's new.

Woke up very early so I thought I would quickly post as it's been a while.  I'm still on track and still exercising so all of that is good.  My cold is finally over and I have my voice back.  Today I'll be swimming and then more shopping for Christmas presents, writing out cards (I know, I'm late with this) general cleanup and laundry, then hopefully an early night.

Getting my friggen hair cut and highlighted today thankfully.  I cancelled it to help some friends with their issues and I look a mess.  Didn't realize I have so much gray hair and I sure don't want anyone else to see it.

Good luck with the cut and colour. I had my hair cur last Saturday and think I finally found a good new hair dresser. I gave up on colouring because of scalp irritation. My skin can be a little sensitive. I am all grey although the front is now getting quite white. It is kind of liberating to just go natural. I know a lot of women can not stand the thought of it

Nice to see you back CC.

I appear to be at far too many celebrations this year. Tonight the knitting group is having a party. I am taking cheese and crackers.

My tree is up but not decorated. Maybe tomorrow night. I think DH will put the lights on it. At least then the box with the decorations will be upstairs.

DH is cooking so put in a generic salmon patty since this is what he thinks he is making.

Morning all. CC, you're back. Glad you finally kicked that cold. Busy day Barb, that's one way of getting your steps, lol. I'm so tired today even though i went t be early last night. I have Psychology exam today and i dislike that course with a vengeance. Wish me luck, coz i definitely will need it for this one. My exam is at 1pm so will leave around 11:30am. Then two more exams and i would have survived 1st term.

3-1/2 Weeks PostOp

B: 1/2c Premier Protein Shake in Decaf Coffee

L: 1/2c PC Non Fat Greek Yogurt - Vanilla

    99g Snack Cup of Sugar Free Orange Jell-O

D: Crustless Quiche Muffin (skim milk, shredded marble cheese & egg)

Have you tried the GNC Pumpkin Spice ready to drink protein shake.  It's also good in coffee.  Your menu looks good.

Haven't tried the GNC Shakes yet but I plan too very soon.  I just have 3 cases of premier protein shakes to get through first. lol

I'll make an Ugly Bruschetta my kids love it :

2 packs cherry tomatoes (the little square ones that are approx. a cup each and it has to be cherry tomatoes)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup basalmic vinegar (I use cheap oil and vinegar and it's still great)

6 normal sized cloves of garlic (you can always add more since you'll be blending it up)

2 teaspoons of capers (those little green ball things, they're usually sold by the pickles if you aren't familiar)

10 or so leaves of fresh basil (has to be fresh! I grow mine specifically for bruschetta but the packs of fresh leaves usually aren't too hard to find)

some salt and pepper

1. Blend up the garlic/oil/vinegar/salt/pepper/basil/capers in blender until it's really fine, then add one pack of the cherry tomatoes and blend some more. If you can't smell the garlic when you open the blender there isn't enough garlic.
2. Chop the other pack of tomatoes
3. Add it all together and serve on baguette toasted with olive oil
