Ruth, I love that you're working out with Donna!
Working out with a pal always makes it more fun and makes us more accountable. Have a good time!
My coffee isn't so good this morning, sadly. DH brewed some up for me last night so I could make iced coffee this morning. I should have tasted it before I left: I put pumpkin spice and caramel SF syrup in it, and thought I put too much, but now that I taste it, I think I put too little.
Oh well...try again tomorrow!
It was a cold bike ride to work this morning, but it'll be a glorious one home. Off to the gym after work, then home to make some brown rice risotto (my first time trying that...anyone else ever done it?) and finish painting the ceiling with DH.
Chelby, hope the procedure goes well for your MIL. My aunt had a similar issue--she was trying to get healthy enough to have this procedure where they take out all your blood and replace it with new...you don't have any white blood cells for a while, so you have to live in a tent for about a month, but it was likely to really make a difference. Is it possible your MIL could have a similar procedure? It's scary, because being without white blood cells is dangerous, but it seems less painful and invasive than radiation.
I'll be keeping her and your family in my prayers. What's her first name? Yup, Chicken Divan is in the Phase 1 Entrees section of the Recipe Forum. It's one of my favorites for P1, and DH's major fav, overall.
Squash and quinoa sounds yummy, Cottage! I'd love the recipe, if you don't mind sharing...
