Last night’s dinner was really good. I was a little unsure of it. I made baked meatballs and cauliflower. The meatballs were a combo of pork and beef. The recipe called for veal, but I just can’t justify it. The cauliflower was a lot better than I thought it would be too. I boiled it for about 5-6 minutes just until it softened but not mushy. Roasted red peppers were added. The recipe called for olives, but since I’m not that big on them and neither is Robert I left them out. Toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil. There is the side dish. Lunch yesterday was a vegetable soup. That turned out well too. Lunch today may be the egg salad wraps or leftovers. I need to adjust my menus next week for leftovers. Otherwise the fridge will be overflowing with the fresh produce and tons of leftovers.
Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart to get some shakes and granola bars. I need some easy snacks. This morning I tried one of the chocolate shakes. TOTALLY hit the spot. I was really craving something sweet and this did the trick. It was also very thick and filling, so I’m not wanting to eat more right now. The best part is the shake was only 2 carbs! It will be nice to have these on hand for quick breakfasts or snacks for at work.
Sunday is my party for 10 years of remission. We’ll just be at the house and play some games/chat. Today I am hoping to get the bathroom cleaned. It will be one less thing to clean on Saturday before people get here Sunday. Saturday will also be making/prepping the food for Sunday. Laura’s room is all clean and ready for her new bed on Sunday. We even went and picked out a new set of sheets for her. I know we need to get her another set yet, but at least she has one to start with.
On the potty training front, Laura is still making progress. She still doesn’t like going poop in the potty. She has no problem peeing though. As a bribe/reward for going poop, we have made a sticker chart. Every time she goes, she gets a sticker to put on the chart. Once she fills a row (6 stickers) she will get a small toy. She just filled a row on Tuesday. She picked out a small Sleeping Beauty doll that has 2 different dresses. She is loving it. I never knew Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty spent so much time together.
