For those in the US how was your Thanksgiving? Ours was pretty nice. My stepson spent Wednesday night with us and all three of us went to spin class and to workout at the gym early Thanksgiving morning. It was nice. We cooked a ham, sweet potatoes, asparagus and acorn squash plus hubs made deviled eggs. We also had a pumpkin pie (for stepson) and a strawberry rhubarb (for hubby). I had a slice of each, yes I did LOL Definitely not as much as years past but that is OK with me. Christmas Eve and Christmas I presume will be much different since we'll have a lot more company. Excited about that because my stepdaughter and my parent's will come into town. Kev and I are getting ready to head to Jamaica and we cannot wait. It's going to be a much needed relaxing vacation. I won't be posting on this blog while I'm gone but will have a recap with pictures upon our return so be on the look out. Yesterday, my Twitter friend Robin asked for Christmas CD recommendations...

My friend Marie has a fun meme going on her blog. Won't you play along? I participated on my weight loss journal (blog) and wanted to spread the word. Let me know if you participate so I can read what you are most thankful for today.

It's a holiday week so meals are going to be pretty simple. Monday- Tuna & Soup Tuesday- Kashi Moroccan Curry (with chicken) Wednesday- Order in (my stepson is spending the night) Thursday- Happy Thanksgiving Friday- Leftovers or breakfast for dinner (with ham of course) Sat. & Sun.- As usual we play it by ear Make it a great week! Happy Thanksgiving.

Another crazy week! Have no clue really what we'll have as I'm trying to eat a lot of what is in the cupboards before going grocery shopping again. Not sure if it will work but here are some of the meal ideas we have so far. Just throwing possible ideas together of course LOL so no set menu plan this week *Tonight (Mon.), I know we'll have breakfast for dinner (waffles, bananas, etc.). *Turkey and salmon burgers with potato fries *The usual Thursday night spaghetti w/turkey sausage, homemade pasta sauce and biscuit bread *Turkey chili *Breakfast again (eggs, sausage, etc.) Hmmm guess that gets us through the week. Maybe we'll go grocery shopping this weekend or try to make it until we go shopping for Thanksgiving which by the way we are having my stepson over this year. Went to my parent's last year (and will totally miss that this year) but my stepson asked what we were planning because his mom is going out of town this year so we'll have him over to celeb...

This week is kinda crazy. Hubby has a procedure coming up on Wed. so food on Tues. and Wed. is up in the air. Here's what is on the menu as of right now. Monday- Turkey Brats, baked beans Tuesday- Omelets Wednesday- Tuna & Soup Thursday- Spaghetti, homemade sauce w/ground turkey, biscuit bread Friday- Turkey sloppy joes Have a great week!

My husband rocks for so many reasons. But this week, my hubby rocks because he is going to play chauffeur tonight for myself to get to the city of Chicago to meet some of my favorite food and weight loss/fitness bloggers. Hubby works all day and will come home tonight to just turn right around to drive down to the city which will take us over an hour. THEN on Sunday, a blogger friend of mine from out of town and I were going to take the train from the suburbs into the city until Kev had me check the schedule and train service doesn't eve start until 9 AM and we need to be down there by 9:30 AM so hubby will play chauffeur once again on Sunday morning. What a great guy! I know he doesn't really want to do this but he is anyway and THAT is why my hubby rocks. Why don't you join the blog meme fun?

It's Menu Plan Monday and Laura has a giveaway. All you have to do to enter is post your menu plan and link up on her blog. I imagine our week is going to be kind off because we won't have an oven to cook anything. Kev went to roast artichokes in the oven last night and the whole kitchen and living room was full of a terrible gas smell. He checked it out and the broiler worked but there was very little flame lighting the gas stove/oven. So needless to say, we now have to look for a new oven. UGH! Here's the tentative plan. Monday- Pasta w/leftover veggie pasta sauce, grilled artichokes and garlic bread (hmm looks like I need a protein in there, not sure what we'll do about that) Tuesday- BBQ Chicken, potato, veggie Wednesday- Tuna and Soup Thursday- Jamaican Jerk Chicken or Trader Joe's Chicken Sausages, potato, veggie (this day is up in the air) Friday- Dinner out Let's pray the microwave and grill don't go kaput this week too, knock on wood LOL Make i...
