Good morning everyone. It's a sunny cold one here. I can't believe I have to look at snow again. That stupid Groundhog got it wrong again.
Looks like Work in Progress and I both posted on Friday, lol.
Today I'm going swimming, then yoga, then the gym, then a nap.
QOTD: On Saturday I drove to Toronto and went to the Low Carb Lifestyle Show. I listened to some of the speakers and watched some cooking demonstrations. Do you do LC products, and if so, what are your favourites?

Hey guys!
I remember having read about a blog run by a fellow roux-en-yer lady who posts recipes for post op. Also looking for recipes categorized by post op stage. Anything helps!
Thanks so much!
Does Michigan have Kroger? Since I made that list I've gone to other stores in North Carolina, Georgia, and Michigan so I can't remember what is where lol. I get the store points cards so I get the discounts as well.
Thank you Thank you!
Those are all great ideas and luckily i'm not a big cookie or sweet person so I'll skip the cookies lol
I am not sure if there are Wegman's and Tops in Michigan ,,,, Usually I hit Walmart and Meijer and sometimes a Big K (kmart) if they are even still in business.
Good afternoon :)
I'm visiting my grandparents today with the little nugget. I also went to the grocery store. Seems like everyone was lining up to get lottery tickets today.

Happy Friday fabulous foodies. Well another crazy day in the office yesterday but today is a bit less hectic probably due to the rain. I don't have anything excited planned for the weekend except I do have to get some housework done. I have a celebration of life to attend on Sunday.
QOTD: Do you have any favorite things to buy in the U.S. that you don't find here? I had a co-worker pick me up some of the various Protein Shakes and they even had an Equate brand with the exact same nutrition at a much better price but I haven't tried them yet. She also picked me up some SF Hershey Choc Syrup and Smuckers SF grape jelly. I'm heading over in a couple weeks just to do a little shopping so any suggestions would be apprecitated.
B - greek yogurt
S - 1/2 protein shake
L - chicken with swiss sauce
S - turkey pepperette
D - I feel like breakfast so maybe eggs and turkey sausage
S - 1/2 protein shake
Enjoy the weekend and beware of April Fools Monday ;)

QOTD: Do you have anything interesting planned this weekend just for you?

It was so empty today... I heard several people comment on it. It was neat because they had fires burning outside -- I love the smell of campfire. Takes me back to my childhood at the cottage.
We got our fish, some pepperettes, and some maple syrup for DH. We also got lunch there -- I got a cheeseburger that lasted for three meals.
