Recipes for the Week

My final rehab class was yesterday but I will be hitting the other rehab this morning. Afterwards, mom and I will be spending the day together. So much to tell her! So much to hear! Three days apart and we will be talking non-stop the entire day.

The housekeepers came yesterday so packing for the trip will begin this afternoon and through the weekend. Washing, ironing and laying everything out on William's bed will happen all the way up to the moment we throw everything into suitcases next Friday. Michael has been counting down the days on the big calendar at work.

I did the final food shopping run after rehab yesterday so here is the menu for the week. Again, this is food that is processed properly for those of us on long-term prednisone therapy.

Breakfast:
Spinach Deviled Eggs with Crispy Prosciutto - http://www.healthyrecipeecstasy.com/2014/02/20/green-eggs-ham-spinach-deviled-eggs-with-crispy-prosciutto/

Breakfast Meatballs - I cut the recipe in half  and use turkey sausage -
