Hi, everyone.

This week has been a fun one for me culinarily speaking. I’ve been having fun in the kitchen. I’ve had some fun recipes and started to get some canning and preserving done.

Here are some recipes and projects I did this week.

We’ve tried a few new recipes. We tried the chicken and broccoli bake. You can find that recipe here.

I roasted radishes for dinner last night and it was really good. The kids even enjoyed them.

My daughter Arielle made cookies all by herself. They came out really well and I did have one for dinner.

I had some grapefruit and lemons that were about to go bad. So, I canned the grapefruit and squeezed the lemons to keep in the fridge.

This week, I did much better at keeping slider foods out of my diet. It has been so easy to eat pretzels and stuff that is not good for me. So, I have been better. However, my week before caught up to me. I didn’t lose any weight this week. Which is perfectly normal and okay.

This week I weigh:

I gained .2 lbs but I’m just going to count it as maintaining my weight. I’m going to continue to drink water with lemon juice for my kidney stone prevention. I add 1 tablespoon to an 8 oz glass of ice water. Perfect for a cool afternoon drink.

We shall see what the new week brings. I’m still about 5 pounds away from losing 100 pounds. That is pretty motivating.
