Finally getting back in the swing of things

Posted by Martha
I've been slowly but surely recovering from whatever flu or virus I had before Christmas along with the pneumonia which followed. Thanks for the comments and emails of concern, I'm doing much better now!

I had to go back to work last week while still a bit sick, and have been trying to get things in post holiday order around here. January is also the time I start my first 12 week training program of the year. It's been slow going this new year, but I'm working on getting into the routines, even if I can't go all out yet.

Anyone who joined me on the 12 week challenge over at AOL back in September ready to go again? Anyone else out here interested in working really hard for two 12 week sessions so you can eat, drink and be merry the rest of the year without the constant "diet" stuff hanging over your head? How many of you have already screwed up on your new year's diet resolutions? Let me know if you want to join us! I'll be glad to post the details.

Other catch up stuff...

Since the beginning of December I've been making my meal plans from what I had in the fridge, freezer and pantry - other than holiday meals and of course fresh fruit, veggies, bread, eggs and milk.

Today I took an inventory of what's still left and found I could still make meals for the rest of this month with just a very few items added here and there. I should be able to get away with about $25-30 a week in groceries for the remainder of the month!

What else would I post now - it's Menu Plan Monday (on Sunday)!

January 11 - 17

Sunday - Baby spinach salad, Italian Mac and cheese casserole with spicy sausage
Monday - Crock pot smoked kielbasa, sauerkraut and potatoes
Tuesday - Homemade beef barley soup/stew with homemade biscuits
Wednesday - Leftovers night and/or $5 pizza night
Thursday - Pan fried thin pork chops with stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and green bean casserole
Friday - Caesar salad, Rotelle with meat sauce (from freezer), garlic bread
Saturday - Leftovers night or egg salad sandwiches and chips


January 18 - 24
Sunday - London broil and lobster tails with baked potatoes and lemon butter asparagus
Monday - Fajitas using Sunday's leftover steak
Tuesday - Open faced turkey sandwiches with stuffing, cranberry sauce and green beans
Wednesday - Pan fried ham with scalloped potatoes and broccoli
Thursday - Egg casserole using Wednesday's leftovers
Friday - Homemade pizza night
Saturday - Hot dogs with chips and fresh fruit salad


January 25 - 31
Sunday (Big cooking day) - Large pot of homemade sauce with homemade meatballs and Italian sausage
Dinner - Sausage or meatball parmesan subs
Monday - Caesar salad, spaghetti with meatballs and sausage, garlic bread
Tuesday - Baby greens salad with baked ziti
(freeze remaining sauce, meatballs and sausage)
Wednesday - Homemade minestrone soup (using leftovers) with cheese biscuits
Thursday - Homemade turkey pot pie
Friday - Homemade pizza
Saturday - Italian hot dogs with antipasto

It's T time at the A-Z Photo Challenge

Posted by Martha
T is for tooth...
Why is there a giant sculpture of a tooth - I couldn't tell you. I think these people are confused too...

Oh wait! They are part of the sculpture...


Very odd!

If you'd like to play along feel free to jump in at any time! There are no rules. Just take a photo of something that begins with the current letter, post in on your blog, and then come back here to this entry to leave your link so you'll be included on the linking list. Your entries will be due on alternating Fridays. I will post the linking list and entry for the next letter on the weekend after the due date. Catch up entries are fine at any time. I will also try to send out a reminder when it gets close to the due date.

Now go have fun finding your T photo(s), and be sure to come back by Friday, January16th to make it in time for the linking list!
