Tonight we are firing up the BBQ! I don't care that it is still freaking cold here I can't take the weather any longer...


We are having pork chops and potato packets. Garden salad on the side


Lastnight we had yummy chicken and dumplings:chef:

Still feeling a bit crappy. Plus, I'm headed out to attend another DS company party tonight. I think I'll pick up a pizza.

It's cold and dreary here today. It's a good soup day!

I have Crock Pot Split Pea w/ Sausage Soup going - but instead of sausage, I'm using the meaty hambone I saved from Sunday.

It smells so good already - I'm wishing I could have a bowl for lunch!

To be perfectly honest, the only thing that sounds good at the moment is donuts. I won't be having any, but that's what sounds good. Why is it always donuts?

MMMMM - My mom used to always make this, but since we moved to New England she hasn't. Always hated it as a kid, but have been craving it for about a year now.

If you do not have a slow cooker, combine all ingredients in a large pot. Simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring often.

I'm making Chicken Fajitas in the DCB for a show tonight. I won't be eating much. No idea what the family will have.

I started my diet today. Blech.
