Monday Morning This and That

Morning all.  Ready for a new week?  I'm ready to begin.  Had a nice weekend.  Picked up a few meats at the supermarket and went home and cooked them up.  Later hubby and I went

I have been meeting my friends at MacDonald's on Sunday for brunch, but decided not to yesterday since we were going out.  Actually, I wanted to go but last week they didn't have the Shamrock Shakes ready so instead I had an Iced Mocha and later on got sick as a dog.  I'm beginning to believe that I really have to watch out for sugar.  Each time I have been sick lately, sugar has been involved.

On Thursday our Nutrition class started again.  The topic for our first lesson was 'Cooking on a Budget' and for hand's on experience we made Nachos.

Made our own nachos out of tortillas. Topped with red, green and orange peppers, chopped tomatoes, black beans, corn, cilantro, and Mexican cheese. Delicious.

Still waiting to have two Christmases--with my daughter and grandchildren and with my goddaughter.  We'd planned my goddaughter's for last week, but she got sick.  She works at Amazon and has Monday and Tuesday off, but Monday's she does something with her daughter so Tuesday is the only day.  

As far as my family, my daughter, who had only purchased a trailer 3 months ago, decided trailer life was not for her so they sold it and moved into a small cabin.  Still waiting for them to settle in so we can finally have Christmas.  Personally, I am sick of it.  Sorry, but I live in a small apartment and these boxes of gifts sitting in my living room are taking up too much space.  And there is no other place to put them.  Next Christmas is going to be different.  Not going to go through this for months again. This is how it's been every year. 

Haven't had Chinese food in ages.  We live a block from Brooklyn's Chinatown, but never order any so yesterday I made my own and it turned out delicious.

Stir fried chicken and veggie terryaki.

Fried rice.

Next up, beef and broccoli.
