Recipes for the Week

Bacon and Eggs in a Different Way
I worked four hours in the garden yesterday. It felt fantastic. With the trimming and weeding and hauling and watering, I used every muscle available. It was rather a surprise that nothing hurt this morning!

Today, I am washing and ironing both guest room bedsheets and Michael's work shirts. It will be a lot of work. But for dinner tonight, we are having our first repeat recipe since I began the refeeding process from the diet. Michael's request: Chicken Shawarma - http://www.busyinbrooklyn.com/chicken-shawarma-recipe/

Here are the recipes for next week. Again, for those of us on prednisone therapy, it is important to stick with protein and non-starchy vegetables so we don't gain 50 pounds. Or more! Stay within three to four ounces of protein and around 1,400 calories a day to maintain and 1,200 per day to lose weight (for women).

Breakfast:
Salmon Wrap - One La Tortilla Low Carb Wrap filled with two slices of smoked salmon, red onion, capers, low fat cream cheese and greens.
