Happy Birthday, a little late, Liz. Hope you had a good one. Congratulations on your restraint with the cup cake!!
We went to DHs son and family for TG. I got really sick with some kind of stomach flu and now I seem to be getting a cold. I would hope I lost a little weight with the flu, but I doubt it because I made up for what I didn't eat then at a later time.
I sure do need to get my motivation back. I just feel kind of depressed and discouraged. I need to weigh myself, but I am afraid!
I made this recipe
http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/...ge-and-cabbage
Instead of cabbage, I used lots of brussels sprouts sliced as thinly as possible and separated into shreds. I just barely wilted the shreds. I also made my own sausage. I used a piece of very lean pork sirloin. I chopped it in the food processor and added sausage type seasonings. I wouldn't particularly bother making my own sausage, but I didn't have any and I wanted to try this recipe. I used papardelle for the pasta. Yummy and easy. I make stuff like this in single servings, so I don't have to worry about eating too much. I ended up with a higher proportion of shredded brussels sprouts to other ingredients than Martha's recipe. In our case, this is a "good thing".
