the other day when I was talking with my daughter, she mentioned they were having zucchini basil soup for their supper…

made me realize that I hadn’t made it for ages, so then I was craving it, lol…

yesterday morning I started it… it is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients…

after cooking it, it was blended and made a delicious smooth soup…

cooked some chicken thighs to add to it…

so tasty…

gnocchi…

had a good time at aquasize and then we took a drive to DeLuca’s…

I got spinach wraps, gnocchi, canned tomatoes and two different types of bread…

apparently I am still craving bread, lol… now I just need to learn how to cook the gnocchi…

once home I made two little peanut butter and banana sandwiches for my lunch…

they were very tasty…

I had a craving for macaroni and cheese… well I really wanted lobster mac and cheese, but didn’t have any lobster… I did have shrimp so decided on shrimp macaroni and cheese…

macaroni and cheese has been one of our family favourites… whenever I visit my daughter it is on the list of things that I must make, lol…

I was going to use oat milk instead of 2% regular milk which I didn’t have, but was told it wouldn’t turn out the way I am used to…

I cooked the macaroni and set it in the fridge to cool… then I contacted a friend and they brought me the milk as they were coming over anyway… yay…

once you’ve got a craving it is hard not to make what you want…

I made two pots… one with shrimp and bacon and one with only bacon…

I am going to package some up for the next few days and freeze some for down the road;-)…

it was absolutely delicious and I may have eaten two bowls;-)…

fries…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, craving, family, food, French fries, fries, memories, moments, neighbour, smell, treat, widow

a while ago, as I was sitting on the deck reading, I smelled hot oil…

my neighbour was making French fries for his family… he makes them in the garage so the house doesn’t get all smelly…

it reminded me of my beloved… one of his specialties was homemade French fries…

I really wanted some, and finally made a batch of frozen ones… not nearly as delicious as his, lol… but helped with the craving…

interesting how quickly a scent can take you somewhere…

big girl pants, Boob Burger, Costco, craving, family, help, snow, tacos, vegan, widow

yesterday my son-in-law and middle grandson came over and we went to Costco to pick up a few things…

they carted stuff in and put it away while I prepared the meat for tacos… serendipitous as my grandson mentioned he’d been craving them for a few days…

the boys use both hard and soft shells, but I like to make salad with mine…

after supper we jumped in the car and drove to Boon Burger for some vegan pumpkin pie ice cream… my son-in-law is having to watch his dairy intake and was very excited to learn that they have this particular ice cream and that he could eat it…

it was snowing a bit as we left with our treats, lol…

barbecue…

barbecue, big girl pants, car, chair, craving, Outlet Collection Mall, plates, purple, red, shopping, Teen burger, widow

great luck with shopping… met the kids out Kenaston and my grandson headed off in my car and my daughter and I went searching for a few things on my list…

got the cutest little red barbecue that is being put together at the store and delivered sometime this week…

had to download this picture from the internet because I didn’t take one while we were in the store, lol… it has two burners, with shelves on both sides that fold down so it won’t take up too much room in the garage… and it has four wheels which will make moving it around much simpler…

then we found a purple sports chair… had seen one last summer and been on the lookout since then… it’s purple after all…  it has a little table and containers for snacks and drinks… will be great for soccer games and camping…

at the same place found two pretty plates… been feeling like my plain white with black on them are getting boring…

went to the new Outlet Collection Mall and I picked up a better quality garlic press from Think Kitchen… the Mall was a big space with many stores, some of them new to the city, but only appeared to have a few actual outlets…

had a teen burger for lunch… not exactly the best meal for me but I’ve been craving one, so adjusted the rest of my meals for the day… it is much better for me to have the food I’m craving rather than end up eating all kinds of things I don’t really want…

got dropped at home, had a nap and then made a ChefsPlate dinner… 

feels odd not to have the car, but my grandson will bring it back at supper time tomorrow…

busy, but productive day…

pictures…

big girl pants, craving, diabetes, diet, energy, exercise, pictures

I am now taking pictures of everything I eat…

people tease me on a regular basis as I am taking the pictures…

that’s okay, because taking the pictures helps me remember what I have eaten…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2014/12/img_9833-0.jpg
for the next few months I have to write down what I am eating and using the pictures helps me remember… I don’t always have time to write it down as I prepare/sit down to a meal…

besides recording what I eat, I have to take blood sugars at breakfast, lunch and bedtime… and record them as well… taking them means poking one of my fingers, sigh..

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2014/12/img_9832.jpg
I am getting used to it and am doing well… the doctor was impressed with how the numbers have come down and how well I am eating…

missing sugar in my tea, but getting used to drinking it with milk… so far, leaving chocolate alone hasn’t been difficult… my biggest craving is chips and they are on the not to eat list…

I am supposed to experiment and see what happens when I eat different things… maybe chips might make it to that testing list, lol…

I’m very lucky that they made the diabetes diagnosis early, and that diet and exercise should be all I need to do to take care of it…

energy level is come back…
