Ugh. That's what I'm doing here as well. Just thought I'd take a break and see if I can delete some of the email in my inbox. Seems it needs some tidying as well.

Tonight we're having teriyaki chicken breasts and veggies (broccoli, carrots, zucchini, snow peas, etc) over rice.

Wow, after reading all these ideas for hamburger, my cholesterol levels have gone sky high!

So tonight we had a Mediteranean mixed salad (romaine, radicchio, oil cured olives, red onions, tomatoes and Parmesan shavings tossed in evoo and aged balsamic) with crusty homebaked olive oil bread. Fresh pear slices for dessert.

Debi- If you don't have an ingredient for a recipe, try substituting something you do have. I am like the queen of substitutions and pantry concoctions. I look in my cupboards, fridge, freezer and throw stuff together.

The virus going around here hit me full force this morning. Fever, sore throat, cough and body aches.

My sympathies!

I'm sick with something too! It went to my lungs of course ... can hardly get enough oxygen.

DH is bringing home Super Nachos from the Mexican restaurant.​

Hope you guys with the bug are feeling much better soon!! I had that darn thing ..still have a touch, as I am still experiencing the shortness of breath... a week or so ago. Lots of water ..less sweet anything, and cut back on the dairy ...the mucous will move easier. It's a good thing, trust me.

I made Jambalaya.. finally!
