Rowing down the river---what are you eating today???

Good moring one and all!  Are your motors running on high speed or have your sails flopped? Too early to tell, but I might have lost a pound. Will wait for another day or two to see if the scales stick, or if it's just a fluke. I know better than to get all excited too soon....lol

Here's today's recipe. It's for one of my very favorite soups, Pasta e fagioli. I substitute turkey Italian sausage for the ground beef. Hope you enjoy!

My plan for the day is:

latte

bran muffin in a mug  Okay, this was gross!  Needs tweaking, so I had 1/2 meat loaf sandwich while driving to work

cottage cheese/applesauce  didn't have, ran out of time

crustless calzone

orange and string cheese

cuban black beans and rice  had leftover tuna patty and broccoli instead

benefit bar

Hope you all have a smooth sailing day!

Hi Suan,  I am drinking my coffe to get motivate to row.

I like the recipe, I might have to use wheat spaghetti or noodles.  I really don't eat them because bding Italin and Irish, I love anthing with noodles. I try to avoid them now after surgery.  The recipe sounds really delicious.

Here is my daily plan

Coffee,
B-  Protein drink with half of banana
S-  Maybe cottage cheese
L-  Going out with friends for lunch-  The golden coral.  Don't know if anyone has one near them.  I have never been there myself.
Snack-  Cheese and ham rollup
D- Not sure yet
S-  Atkins food bar and a few nuts later.

Peace

It would be every bit as good without any pasta. Very thick and hearty.

We have a Golden Corral here, and I've been there once. HUGE, gigantic buffet place which is pretty overwhelming for us. I don't like going to buffets anymore, it seems like a big waste of money. But, you're going more for the company than the food, so have a great time!

Could I have made anymore typos?   I will blame it on the coffee.  Please try and guess the words I typed.  Use it for your challenge of the day


Peace

Hi Susan and OH buddies:

I see what you mean about the weight loss 'sticking.'  Hope it does.
We nicknamed Golden Corral "The Trough" and have not been back since a year before the RNY.

Here is today's plan as I wait for the blasted Dr. to call me back.

B - Muffin in a cup (Delicious and I am still full)
S - Nothing
L - Noodleless lasagna (Uses thin strips of eggplant instead of noodles)
S - string cheese
D - Leftover Pho
S - SF hot chocolate

Exercise:  Walk two miles this afternoon

Happy rowing ya'll,

Maria

You liked the muffin?  I thought it was terrible, but I think with a few tries I can make it doable. Never met a recipe I couldn't change...LOL

Let's just say that the muffin needs a little work.  Here is what I do:  Spray an 8-oz ramekin with nonstick spray and nuke it.  Then I pop it out and slice it in half lengthwise, toast it in the toaster oven and spread some SF orange marmalade on it.

It reminds me of an English muffin (almost).

Funny you should ask if our motors are running. I'm sitting, sipping coffee and thought one of the cats was under my chair purring. Nope, my belly is making purring gurggly noises. Weird?

B - cottage cheese, berries, Kashi
L - apple & pb
D - chicken & green beans

Your recipe is similar to Mom's - excellent without the pasta too.

Kisses
Annette

We do make some straaaaaaaaaaange noises, don't we?

Ummmm, snacks?
