Since our son is getting married in June, I’ve been looking for a dress to wear to the wedding, one that would be good for an afternoon wedding. I finally found one that is exactly what I wanted. The mother-of-the-bride chose a blue dress with the length being a couple of inches below the knees. So, I needed to find one the same length and a different color. I decided on a black dress with a shimmery gray/silver cardigan. It has an attached printed waistband, the print containing black, white, and a shimmery silver (all colors in the wedding).
I already have a dressy black purse that I’ve used only once at another relative’s wedding, so all that’s left to look for are shoes and jewelry. (plus losing at least five pounds minimum)
We’ve been doing some planning for the rehearsal dinner, too. It was a quick and unanimous decision to have Mexican food, and we’re checking into places that do catering. Right now, Abuelo’s is at the top of the list. We’re thinking that Sopapilla Cheesecake would be good for one of the dessert options, but we’ll need several because we have 40 people on the list right now for the rehearsal dinner. We’ll see.
.It’s going to get colder this week, so soup sounds good. Here’s our menu for the week:
.
Monday: Genghis Grill (have a coupon buy one meal/ get one free)
Tuesday: Chicken Tortilla soup
……
Wednesday: Leftover soup
Thursday: Cheese Tortellini Soup and salad
Friday: Pizza and salad
I mentioned that our son is getting married. Well, I’ve been looking at and trying on dresses for the wedding, and I’ve come to one conclusion. I’ve got to lose at least five pounds!! So here’s our menu with an attempt to eat healthier and leaner:
.
Monday: Salmon Patties, corn, green beans
Tuesday: Parmesan Fish Sticks (healthy recipe), salad, carrot sticks
Wednesday: Chicken, potatoes, okra
Thursday: Chef salad with grilled chicken
Friday: Maybe go somewhere out to eat…fish would be good!

I’m writing this on Sunday afternoon after a wonderful reunion this morning with a lot of old friends from the church where I grew up. Beth and Norma got to come which made for an awesome reunion! We were known as the Three Musketeers in the high school youth group, and we also all went to the same high school together. Wonderful memories!
.I know a lot of us are on diets right now after the holidays, but here’s a good recipe to take to a potluck at church or work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ingredients:
Cut squash into 3 or 4 pieces after cutting off tips. Put squash in boiling water, enough to cover. Return to boil and then reduce heat. Cook until tender, drain, and mash. Combine with remaining ingredients. Place in 3-quart greased casserole. Cover with light layer of bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

I hope everyone is well! There’s been so much sickness going around and the flu is getting an early start from what I hear. It’s important for us to keep up our immunity during this time, so here are some important things we can do:
* Get plenty of rest! Prioritize what really needs to be done and don’t lose sleep over things that can wait.
* Drink plenty of water. Water helps to flush out toxins.
* Drink fresh brewed green tea for the antioxidants.
* Eat fresh fruits & veggies and lean meat such as chicken, fish, and turkey.
* Keep your hands away from your mouth and face.
* Wash hands with soap and warm water, especially when around sick germs.
