Despite my good intentions the romaine was turning brown so tonight it will be a salad for dinner; lettuce, mixed veg and a chicken breast. 🥬🥗

Nothing is going to help me tonight,
except maybe some ice cream topped with chocolate sauce.

Unsweeten frozen strawberries (set out to thaw) topped with ice cream. It might not be the most nutritious, but it's low in sodium and carbs (relatively) and is filling - besides it tastes good too!

I will probably have a chicken pie muffin too. The boys love them - making them and eating them. Take a biscuit (from a small can) and make a liner in a muffin tin, fill it with a cream of chicken soup (unsalted Campbell's is our favorite now), cooked cubed or shredded chicken and mix vegetables and spices mixture, and top with a piece of cheese. Bake @350 for 15-20 minutes and you have a kinda chicken pot pie muffin with a crisp crust. We make 24-36 muffins at a time and there are never any leftovers regardless of what side dishes accompany them.

I had given up on a lot of quick recipes made with soups because of the high sodium counts but the "unsalted" soups that brought the counts down from 1500mg or so a can to about 250mg have put a few things back on the menu. The unsalted tomato tastes a little sweet to me but the boys claim there's no difference - at least when you cook with it.

Smart move, techie. I have high blood pressure. I am very sensitive to sodium intake. If I eat too much salt my blood pressure spikes.

I enjoy old fashioned recipes. If there is a way to reduce the sodium by tweaking a recipe it’s a good thing.

Plus, if we have been avoiding salt, our taste buds adjust to less sodium. If we go back to salty foods they tastes overly salty.

I broke a tooth Sunday night, and get my crown on Thursday, so I am on my Hubs old "soft food diet"! i am really already sick of soup and trying to remember to only chew on one side! Tonight my hubs has made me "cheese peas",, just what it sounds like and total comfort food. I am craving vegies!

There are so many soft veggies besides soup, how have you been on this site so long and not come across them? Mashed turnip/rutabaga. Squash. Mashed potatoes with bonus sweet potatoes or carrots mashed in too. Polenta with a nice smooth marinara. Avocado. Baked beans. Caramelized onions, yum.

I have two cooked chicken breasts and some leftover lentil sloppy joes in my fridge... I plan to make some kind of soup out of these 🤔

It's hunting season here, so hubs and his cousin are going out by 630 each morning. I am still waking up early, but today I felt good and baked 4 loaves of bread by 830! Pumpkin, and banana / chocolate chip. Also switching out to fall/winter clothing, and packing stuff for donations. Is any one else in "snuggle mode"? where you just want to stay in and watch TV with your pet on your lap? I get this way when it;s gloomy out.

Going out for dinner with my husband and daughters tonight to celebrate my birthday 🎂. I’m 68! Getting older but I am young at heart.

It’s a bittersweet birthday with the sudden death of my brother. I keep wanting him to call me and wish me a happy birthday like in the years past. I know that he is with me in spirit.

My brother died shortly before his wedding anniversary. I feel so badly for my sister in law.

Pam, sounds delicious! You were ambitious this morning. I don’t have a strict schedule. Sometimes I sleep in and other times I am up early.

I am making chicken salad. It’s tedious deboning the chicken but, one of my family’s favorites, including mine.

Btw, I’m new here. I just joined this morning. I’m glad I did. I’ve already learned so much from other people’s posts on her.

Bounce, I feel the same inside but my gray hair tells a different story! 🤣
