It's Friday!
Well Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!! Are you going to go and have some green beer?? The closest thing to green I will be having today is the lettuce and cucumbers in my salad tonight...But I am a Coonass and not Irish so that is ok..... Yes....it is Friday....It has been a very long week...I am glad it is nearly over...The kids will go back to school on Monday..which will be a very nice change of pace for me...Then I can get back to my Gym regimen...hopefully now that I am following the Abs Diet it will show some results.. The eating plan is not so bad...6 small meals a day spaced about 3 hours apart...centered around what they call the 12 power foods....of course you are not limited to these foods but they should make up the majority of your diet...I had a Clif Bar, Protein shake, Salad, some lean chicken breast, and oatmeal, so far today...For dinner I plan to eat some more Salad and some special 12Veggie soup I made several months ago that is in the freezer.(Will post the recipe later at the end of this post)..Later tonight I may have some Yogurt for something sweet..I have not felt deprived all day..which is a welcome change from me usually eating two meals a day and feeling hungry all the time.. So far this weekend is looking pretty good...Bart has finished most of his BIG jobs for the week and now we get to collect the money..which is my favorite part...We should get some time this weekend to just sit back and relax for a little while.... Anyways..Here is the Veggie Soup Recipe.. Catherine's Veggie Soup(Adapted from the Weight Watchers Garden Vegetable Soup Recipe) Two Large Bottles Organic Tomato Juice Or Vegetable Juice Blend 2 Zucchinnis(Organic) 2 Yellow Squash(Organic) 1 head of garlic(Peeled and chopped) 1 yellow onion chopped 1 red onion chopped 1 bag of organic baby carrots, sliced 2 cans of organic stewed tomatoes 1 can of organic sweet peas 1 can of organic yellow corn 1 can organic garbanzo beans 1 bag of spiral whole wheat pasta Salt and pepper and other spices to taste.. Saute` the onions and garlic in a small amount of olive oil until see through... Add on vegetable juice and bring to a boil Add the zucchinni and squash and carrots and simmer until nearly cooked....dump in the canned veggies and the whole wheat pasta..simmer until the pasta is al dente... That's it!! It is very filling with some good crusty multigrain bread fresh out of the bread machine... You can substitute pretty much any vegetables ou like...sometimes I put cabbage in it which makes it especially filling...and since it freezes well I make it in large batches and then put it in ziploc containers in the freezer and eat it whenever I want...Since I am the only one in the house who will touch it with a ten foot pole there is always plenty for me! Anyways..I am off to cook dinner.. Cya, Cat
