Did Statins Help?
Pardon if this is riddled with typos but it's 2:30am. I got my lipid blood test results back yesterday. I'm going to assume heading into perimenopause years shot my numbers up because nothing has changed food wise (though stress wise it's been astronomical the past few years which apparently contributes as well). A reminder, I was at 264 at the beginning of December and my shuck and jive speech to get my shit together didn't land well with her. After a talk with my bestie who is on them convinced me (us) with her experience, I relented and agreed to go on them. After almost 4 months on a 10mg dose (the lowest dose available), I'm at 184. So, I guess they work. 😂 I will also say this is with zero dietary changes and a pretty scattered workout schedule the past two months. I hope in time when all of the projects are done and we are finally able to focus on ourselves that I can eventually go off of them with hard work. I'm pleased with...
Thanks so much for making this for me. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really tasty. A panini press is one this I really want, but I just don't have a place for it in between uses.
ReplyDeleteThat panini looks delicious. I have often thought I need a panini press. I have a quesadilla maker, do you think that would work? I realize it wouldn't put the cool grill marks on it, but it should flatten the sandwich nicely. I used that quesadilla maker once just after I got it a couple years ago, then put it away and haven't had it out since.
ReplyDeleteMr- You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother Layer- You can get a press that doubles as a table top grill/griddle so that it's multi-functional. I also grill chicken and such on it!
Dupster- I'm pretty sure a quesadilla press would work as well. It's more to get the crispy schtuff on the bread, ya know? Of course you could easily morph it into a quesadilla if the bread thing doesn't work out! YUM!
This recipe looks great. Glad you are on the mend from being sick!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that looks delicious! :D Feel free to make one for me too!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the marinara on this sammie! Sodium was so not on my radar until I was helping a friend meal plan to keep hers under 1000 per day (very hard!).
ReplyDeleteI input my food for the day: sauerkraut, deli ham, pickles, all told I had 6000 mg in one day!
Now I just drink lots of water. :D
Yummmmmmmmmy!
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, I think I have seen those mutli-purpose ones. My old George Foreman grill has certainly seen better days, maybe it's time for an upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI use a George Foreman for our Panini Sammies :) That looks so good. I really should make this for my hubby he loves sausage and peppers!
