Lauren - You're great at porn! (food porn that is)!! Love the lime green mickey too.

 

[lori1043]

hey Ya'll!!

That meal looks yum!

We had leftovers and a spinach salad with grilled chicken (cubed), dried blueberries and cranberries, almonds, egg, snow peas, cucumber and parmesan cheese-it was a bit of everything! we had leftover new potatos and potato salad on the side! I only ate the salad and one new potato!

I don't know if any of you are trying to drink more water, but DH and I went to a B&B a few years ago and they served us cucumber lime water after a day at the beach! It was different and refreshing and if you're sick of plain water and aspartame in diet drinks, this is a good alternative. I about a 2 liter pitcher, thinly slice about a half cucumber(small one) and a half lime(thin as you can get it). I have one of those PC slicers and it works well for slicing thin. Put them in the water and let it chill for an hour or 2 in the fridge. It's pretty good. You either it or like it-DH is not crazy over it, but I like it since I am sick of drinking plain water!!!

[Glynis]

Well, I had some extra time today prior to getting dinner on the table and getting A to baseball practice so I thought I'd try my hand at food porn...

Here are Glynis' Pizza Meatloaf Muffins, steamed broccoli and carrots and whole wheat pasta tossed with evoo, garlic, crushed red pepper and parsley. I added a few things to the muffins and used oat bran instead of bread crumbs... .

Notice something special in the pic??? I think I have the knife facing the wrong way...mother would be upset!

Glynis, thanks for another great recipe!!!

Looks really good! I think you have a real talent at this!!! My muffins never look that good!!!

Glynis!!! Thank you!

Do you wear lime green in the parks? I did last Dec and did not meet anyone! WTH? I just bought lime green crocs...at least I'll be comfy!!!

FormrCastMbr, your dinner looks so yummy!

 

[FormrCastMbr]

FormrCastMbr, your dinner looks so yummy!

Thank you! Now you guys know why I am a few pounds overweight...I eat the left overs before the day is even over...poor DF had a plate in the fridge since he had to work late and over cooked it. The pasta was too chewy for him...see? He can't even heat up food w/o ruining it!!!!!

These meatloaf muffins are so good that I crave them!!! Yum!

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Tonight we are going to my grandmother's house for dinner. She is making roast turkey

WFD at your house?

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning!

I am going to do something with pork chops...can you tell I don't plan my meals??? Maybe I'll start after the wedding...I think I'll do something like Stephanie's pork and peppers.

Have a great day!

Lauren

Try Dreamfield's pasta. that's pretty close to reg pasta. Those muffins look really good, I'll have to wait till it cools off here or I cave in and put on the air conditioning. Our electric rates have sky rocketed and I'm afraid of my summer bills

Lori

Thanks for the recipe Lori. I never get enough water so I'm willing to try anything. I have been drinking the flavored green teas but I think the aspartame is not so good for you.

Glynis!!! Thank you!

This goes on a lot in my house

Do you wear lime green in the parks? I did last Dec and did not meet anyone! WTH? I just bought lime green crocs...at least I'll be comfy!!!

<MArisa made some hangers for our bags and the stroller with the Mickey heads, and We all ( that is my DH at 6'6" tall, talk about a big green beacon, Dan all 6 feet of him and the 4 shorter chubbier green versions and Kady) wore lime green shirts, and we still met no one. I'm not sure it was worth all of what we went through to get Buddy into a fluorescent lime green shirt with mickeys on the front. I'm still paying for that one!

Lauren - You're great at porn! (food porn that is)!! Love the lime green mickey too.

I agree! I think I'll have to decorate the table with some of those Mickeys and blame my buddy Lauren

 

[THE HAT]

Morning ladies.........

Lori- I hope you know that we are all with you when you go see your grandparents.......It will be a hard thing to do, but you will feel better once you get there. Sometimes the anxiety of getting there is the hardest. a PP mentioned a robe, that is another great idea, when my grandmother was in the nursing home she lived in hers and loved having a few different ones. She also liked getting (cardigan) sweaters as it was chilly in the evenings if the a/c was on or the heat wasn't up enough. If you talk to the nurses and especially the aides, as they are the ones who do the baths, they will be more then happy to use the soaps and lotions you bring.

Loved the derby pics,lol!!! I love seeing people having a good time!!

Lauren--girl get your butt to get that BP checked.......also let us know how your appt for your thyroid goes!
The porn you did was amazing (food that is)

Glynis-- 3 days to go you must be sooo excited and busy, lol. After seeing the porn of your meatloaf I am anxious to make them now!!

Sheryl- I meant to check the other day and see how your dh is doing after his fall? I loved your porn as well, lol!!! I have to get some of those glasses!

Lindsey- have a great time at your grandmothers.....how is your shoulder doing?

Pookie---Hello...we love Nancy's lurkers around here......
Nancy--I just realized that you are in CT...only about 8 hours from me.......
Any pictures of Buddy in his lime green shirt to share, lol

Jenny- So glad to hear that Ed is getting stronger and stronger every day....now how about taking a moment for yourself!!

I think I am now caught up.....I really need to fig out that darned multi quote thing....just can't get it,lol...

Wfd---karate night tonight so it is going to be quick and easy...beans and kielbasa with corn bread. It is a rainy (on and off) day here so it will be a fitting meal.

Have a good day!!

 

[TigerKat]

Do you wear lime green in the parks? I did last Dec and did not meet anyone! WTH? I just bought lime green crocs...at least I'll be comfy!!!

Yep and didn't meet anyone either. I love my crocs too!

Jenny - I am so glad that Ed is doing so well.

Tonight I'm making Mexican stuffed pasta shells, spanish rice and refried beans!

Have a great day all!

 

[nucpharm29]

Tonight is going to be the famous Glynis Pot Roast--already in the crockpot! Didn't get to grill last night--weather was just too iffy--ended up using the meat in pasta sauce.

 

[Pookiepotpie]

Well I did make dinner sort of. Grilled chicken, Glynis's potato salad, mac salad, leftover BBQ beans, hot dogs and the blueberry dessert. DS and DDIL joined us, and DH is still at the farm. He is going to get left over leftovers .

I really enjoyed the potato salad the most from dinner lastnight now i want my DMIL to make Glynis's meatloaf muffins they look great.

 

[Glynis]

I am sure they taste that good! This shows I have too much time on my hands!!! I absolutely love this recipe...I shouldn't say, but I just ate all of the left overs...the best!!!


Glynis!!! Thank you!

Any time, my friend! I'm so glad you found a way to make them lower carb!!

 

[Glynis]

Tonight's dinner will be kielbasa with baked beans. I'm getting down to the odds and ends in my pantry, so I'm trying to be creative. Tomorrow is the last meal I will cook before vacation, and since DS and DH are doing their own thing tomorrow, the girl's and I will be having tomato soup and sammies!

Glynis, thanks for another great recipe!!!

Lauren, Your food porn is great! With only 24 days before the wedding & you've gotten it together enough to worry if the knife is facing the right way? Girl, I'm impressed! Glynis's muffins look yummy!

hey Ya'll!!

That meal looks yum!

Lori, That sounds refreshing, I'll have to try it!

Sorry you aren't feeling to well. I get like that when it's hot and humid, oh wait that's Chicago weather it's summer.

Try Dreamfield's pasta. that's pretty close to reg pasta. Those muffins look really good, I'll have to wait till it cools off here or I cave in and put on the air conditioning. Our electric rates have sky rocketed and I'm afraid of my summer bills

Hersey, If you want hot & humid, ya need to come visit us down here in New Orleans! My electricity bill already took a huge jump & summer hasn't even kicked in yet.

Morning ladies.........


Sheryl- I meant to check the other day and see how your dh is doing after his fall? I loved your porn as well, lol!!! I have to get some of those glasses!

Thanks Wendie, DH is doing great! The swelling was gone by last weekend & his cuts & scratches are almost all healed up!

Glad y'all liked my Mickey Martini glasses. My SIL bought those for DH & myself, as a Thank You, when we took him on his 1st trip to WDW a few years back. I keep wanting to get more of those & the wine glasses but keep talking myself out of spending all that money.

Thanks everyone for the concern over my stomach issues. I'm feeling a little better today but still not right. I didn't cook last night DH ate leftovers he brought home from a work luncheon. Don't know if I'll cook tonight either.

Hope everyone has a good day.

 

[OKWMom]

Yep, we're leaving on 11/25 and coming home on 12/6. Let's try and hook up for a cocktail!!

That sounds like fun! We'll work out the details closer to the trip.
