Recipes for the Week

Philly Cheese Steak in a Bowl

It is wet here. Thank goodness the yards really don't need me so I am shaking up my Saturday schedule. Banking will happen then I will wait a bit so it is not quite so wet, strap on my oxygen backpack then head to the ped walk right along the cliffs of the ocean. We are almost in the middle of a large ocean bay and today I want to walk north to the harbor. It may take hours! During this part of the trail, it is not unusual to see dolphins or huge pelicans or sea lions. On very rare occasions, I have even seen whales.

Afterwards, I am going to nap, do some prep work for the food we are taking to the surprise birthday party for Randy tomorrow and I have three good books waiting for me.

We have some interesting new food recipes for this week. Remember, it is important for those of us on longtime prednisone therapy to avoid sugar or foods that process into sugar because our pancreas just can't handle it well. It makes us fat. So, the goal is 3-4 ounces of lean protein and non-starchy vegetables.
