I must change my plans for CN tomorrow. Ed decided he wanted spaghetti today.
He could not wait until tomorrow when
I could actually have some.
How selfish.
There
may be a bit of noodles left over for me to eat tomorrow, but I really don't want to eat leftover re-heated spaghetti. I wanted it fresh and hot! With meatballs! (He is not making meatballs - just meat sauce).
Oh well.
Whatever Ed wants, Ed gets.
Since I don't have the money to go buy all new ingredients for something different, I have decided to make
pancakes for my dinner tomorrow instead!
We have a big box of mix, and even a jug of real maple syrup! And that idea has kind of grown on me, so I am happy with it.
I finally got my protein powder!
I am going to add a couple scoops of it to my pancake mix tomorrow so I don't have to make any meat.
Not that I don't like meat, but I wanted to keep fat down on my carb nite as suggested by keifer. This will be a carb loading night, and the less fat the better. But it is hard to get in my daily protein without meat or eggs. The protein powder will be perfect! And it came just in the nick of time!
SO, the plan is now:
Breakfast - coffee&cream with a yogurt/protein shake later in the morning.
CARB NITE starts at 12:30 or 1:00pm -
1st spike will be Cream of Wheat.
2nd spike will be pancakes w/surup
3rd spike will be lemon bars
4th spike/bedtime snack is another lemon bar (if my poor shrunken stomach can handle it!)
I figure that will add up to about 400 carbs, more than enough! So even if I can't do the bedtime snack, I will have plenty of carbs in me to start the hormones going again.
CHELLE - I'm sorry you are feeling so sick.
Please get better soon. Crackers and 7up sounds disgusting. I hope it is DIET 7up!
CRICKET - the lemon bars I am making are a real simple recipe I found online. Recipe calls for 1 box of angel food cake mix and 2 cans of lemon pie filling. That's it!
Not the true lemon squares made with shortbread and such - they will be more like dense lemon flavored cake bars!
I am only making 1/2 a batch. If they are icky, I will not be eating them. But I am more than sure that they will be delicious.
And they sound so refreshing!
I am even going to add the juice and zest from the rest of the lemon I have in the fridge!
------- I hope your plans work out for your CN. Too bad you can't do it Thursday like I am. I kind of liked being CN twins!
