What's for dinner?

If ithe mango continues to ripen today, mango avocado shrimp salad with cilantro lime dressing. Garden lettuce is coming along nicely so plenty of that to use up in main dish salads. Tomorrow is pear and blue cheese salad with maple pecans.

Yum! Wish I could drop in around dinnertime!

Our stove is on the fritz, so I made an Italian Wedding soup with fresh veggies and frozen Italian meatballs.

In the microwave or what?

Crockpot! I think the crockpot will be my best friend for the next few weeks.

I had a couple veggie burgers with cheese late afternoon and now I am snacking on sunflower seeds and blackberries.

Went out for dinner and had a French dip with onion rings. I have lost 9lbs in 3 weeks so treated myself.

How have you managed to lose 9 pounds in 3 weeks, Terry?

[Teacher Terry]

Gave up all alcohol. Usually once a week we would do beer tasting events before the virus and wine with dinner, etc. Plus when we get together with friends it was margaritas. We do a lot of social stuff. Now if out I order a alcohol free beer which is 70 calories. Drinking would make me hungry and I would snack at night. Now no snacking and my carbonated sparkling water is filling. So I think it’s a combination of those 2 things. I bring my A/F beer to friend’s’ homes. I keep alcohol here to serve to friends so they don’t kill me). Interestingly my best friend and her husband quit a week after I did when they saw how much weight I was losing. They are both losing weight too.

Darn, I don't really drink, so that's not going to work for me!

Congrats, TT! Not sure I'm ready to totally stop drinking - although lots of reasons I should.

Just spent the weekend away, so haven't been cooking. It's a cool day here, so maybe I'll go ahead and do chicken and dumplings!
