I was hoping to make a post last week, unfortunately on the day when I normally would have time to cook and time to write, I was called in to work the night before and ended up sleeping all day with no time to do either cooking or writing.
Currently, I’m sitting in bed on my laptop watching Bones and contemplating the Noodle dish I plan on making for dinner tomorrow. I bought whole grain linguine, fresh produce like Bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, scallions, and it will all be combined with chicken breast strips and cajun seasoning for what I hope is a plate of dreamy deliciousness.
Today is or at this point, was the first day of Spring. Here in my area of New York, we welcomed it with a 36 hour Lake Effect Snow watch. Wonderful. I still remain hopeful however that this is the last snow I’ll be seeing this season – after all, April is only about a week away!
Next week I’ll be traveling down to Massachusetts to spend Easter with Jarred and meet most of his family for the first time. In preparation for that I will be making two batches of Oreo Truffles, one with peanut butter oreos, one with regular. I’ll also be making a recipe from the Pioneer Woman that I’ve altered slightly to take out the pecans or nuts, called Knock You Naked Brownies. Hoping to get recipes posted for all of these dishes.
Thursday morning I will be going to the dentist to have a Not-quite-a-cavity-yet tooth filling done. My house has well water and a lack of fluoride, so apparently my molar needs a little extra protection and I have a new fluoride routine.
And lastly! A few questions that I hope some people will have the answer to and leave them for me! I’ve lost a bit of weight probably too fast, my skin in my thighs, breasts and stomach is a little bit loose- not horribly so but enough that it bugs me. I’ve been using Palmer’s Firming Butter to help tighten it up as well as drinking lots of water, any other suggestions? I’m also going to give p90x a try starting this week – anybody have some excellent stretches to do before and after?
I’m also looking for some healthy lunches that don’t involve the bread part of a sandwich or if it does have bread – no cold cuts. Any ideas or tips?
