Day Off and Menus for the Week

A day off. Today. Nothing on the schedule. Nothing I HAVE to do.

Michael, though, has to do something quickly this morning then he is home for the day. We are thinking of driving down the coast in search of fresh fish for lunch. The whales have been migrating near the shore so there is a good chance that we could spot one or two.

I am a bit soar this morning. After a morning of doing yard work yesterday, my shoulders and arms are demanding notice. They will rest today. And tomorrow. Mom has three doctor appointments tomorrow. Yes, three. She also has her final appointment on Friday with the foot doctor who chopped off her toe in February.

Menus with a recipe for the week are below. It is going to be an easy week. The goal is 3-4 ozs of protein and 2/3s of the plate with fresh veggies. This is the formula for those of us who are on long-term prednisone therapy. I found some turkey sausages that are very low calorie and low carb in the frozen section, so I have been having two for breakfast with some cut vegetables in the morning. Lunch has been lean turkey and cabbage. So, enjoy the week ahead, eat well, exercise and live well.

Easy Cheese Chili Chicken
Pork Chops with a side salad - 4-ozs per chop on the bone

Half of a Turkey Breast on the bone (Trader Joe's) - with fresh asparagus

A Rib Eye steak - On the grill with fresh sliced sauteed mushrooms. I eat about 1/3rd of it and Michael enjoys the rest.

George Stella's Easy Cheese Chili Chicken - I use 1/2 chicken breasts per serving and adjust the recipe by using non-fat cheddar cheese and more vegetables. I will also serve a side salad with it.    http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/easy_cheesy_chili_chicken.html
