Where do you live at Katy?  How are you doing?

Does your ricotta bake have noodles or did you just eat the cheese and sauce?  It's a little early out for you to be eating carbs.

Oh goodness no noodles, Im still in purees. Won't have noodles on plan for a long time. It is the ricotta bake recipe from eggface's blog.

I live between you and Kittanning:)

That makes me soooo happy!!!!  Eggface has some awesome recipes on her site!

Somewhere around Worthington?  Kittanning is just a hop, skip and jump from us. That use to be our big shopping place when I was little....LOL.  We loved the Jamesway store.

Yes, exactly! 

I don't much remember jamesway, but now we head toward butler for our shopping lol.

Today's been a good day - nice and sunny; wrap and peel kind of day.  I enjoyed my time at the gym and am looking forward to yoga classes starting tomorrow morning.

It makes me happy to see the Protein Drink!!  I've always been told our bodies can't absorb more than 35 grams of Protein at a time.  Has your NUT ever mentioned that to you?  I would kind of like to see you spread the grams out a little.  Maybe cut it in half and have it twice a day.

Chicken sounds yummy!

Honestly my NUT never said a thing about the protein intake.  I'll follow your suggestion and break it up through the day.  Thanks!

Cold and windy here but I headed down to the NC/SC line early and drove Teke.  Then home, unload and go get hay before it rains again.
