Hi Roz,
Went to visit my new hospice person this morning.  It is so sad, she is only 50 years old and so sweet.  DGD#2 is spending the night tonight.  I need to try to find the time to catch up on some posts.  I haven't been on as much this week because of work.

I can't imagine having all the snow that y'all have....

y'all....do you actually say that?   If we met you would probably think I talked funny too...LOL  Fortunately my DH doesn't mind the snow/.  It took him and my DSIL hours to get us plowed out. We both have long driveways.

I didn't know you worked with hospice people.  Do you just visit or do you councel them??  50 that is really sad.  My dad was 46 when he died from cancer.  So young.

Good Menu!

 Lol - I say y'all all the time!!  I bet you talk fast.  I talk with the southern drawl!!

We are just visitors for hospice.  We had them when my step father in law lived with us before he died. 
They were so good and kind that we decided we wanted to help them.  

I can't imagine shoveling all that snow...

Everyone says us PA people have an accent and talk slang....I think we talk perfectly normal....LOL

Oh..they didn't shovel. We live in the country and there is a lot to plow.  We have a plow attached to a tractor and DSIL has a plow attached to a quad.   DD had to work today and she said there was a lot of blac**** outside of Pittsburgh.  Practically everything in Pittsburgh was shut down.  Our country roads were actually pretty good.  It's those city folks who don't know how to take care of their roads (I don't really talk like that)...lol

DD applied for her mortgage this week.  They got their good faith estimate back yesterday.  It's a little sad to think of them moving but we are so excited for them.  She only has 3 more weeks until the baby comes....YEAH!  She also took over the cheer program for a gym in Pittsburgh that has 3 teams this year and hopefully more after try-outs in the spring.  She has a lot on her plate right now but super happy.....a little uncomfortable but super happy!

Hi everyone.  I hope the snow stays away from here.  We had a little last weekend but it wasn't bad.

B double protein decaf
L mock French toast with sf syrup, Nut Thins, Laughing Cow wedge
D not sure, might be going out.  If I do I will probably get steak, baked potato with sour cream and butter and a salad with bleu cheese.  If I don't go out I will have the taco casserole on a tostada with sour cream
S sf fudgecicle
S popcorn with butter.  I bought some mushroom popcorn online and it is great.  It is what they use to make kettle corn and carmel corn.  I was dying of curiosity to try it but I doubt I will get it again since it is pretty expensive.  I just bought a little bit to try it.
S protein shake or protein pudding.  For some reason whenever I have a protein shake or hot drink at night it upsets my stomach.  No problem the rest of the day but at night it makes me gassy so I have been having protein pudding instead.  
S protein oatmeal chocolate chip cookie
S Think Thin protein bar probably or other protein snack.  I'm starting to get tired of them.  Good thing because my stash is almost gone.

How do you make your Protein Pudding?  I try to make things but end up tossing them out.  How about mock French toast...what's that?

Good Menu!

I just mix 1/2 cup of milk with about 2 tablespoons of sf pudding mix and a scoop of my unflavored protein powder.  It does make it a little thinner then regular pudding but you can add a little more pudding mix if you want.  I top it with sf Cool Whip and it's pretty good.  I have also mixed in a scoop with a sf pudding cup but I find it usually gets very thin.
For the mock French toast I mix 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese with an egg, some Splenda, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook it in a sprayed pan, kind of like a pancake.  When it sets on top I flip it.  It really does remind me of French toast, especially with the sf maple syrup.

I'm definitely going to try the "french toast".  That sounds great!  How much cinnamon and nutmeg do you use?

I've tried making Chocolate pudding with my Chocolate protein but I didn't really care for it.  I haven't bought the unflavored for awhile but I'm going to have to pick some up. I used to put it in my soups too.

I just sprinkle some it, not too much, not too little, and it tastes fine.
I found the pudding didn't taste right, either, with the chocolate protein.  My unflavored protein powder is pretty unflavored so you really can't taste it in the pudding, but it does affect the texture.  I saw they sell some protein pudding type cups but those look pretty expensive.
