What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
All I can say is those are some awesome recipes for people to enjoy. If you want a real cookout without all the calories and sodium this is the real deal. I am so looking forward to our cookout!!
ReplyDeleteI'm craving those BBQ sliders. I know what we're having next weekend!
DeleteSounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI can't wait to try some of these recipes!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you do!
DeleteI just recently found your blog and am SO encouraged! I too have tried just about EVERY diet out there, but refuse to get the surgery. I think that your way of approaching this is so common sense and long-term. I have begun to have a similar approach and am having success too. Thanks for putting yourself out there....
ReplyDeleteI look forward to trying these Sloppy Joes!
Thanks so much Carol! Hope you like the sloppy joes and keep up the great work!
DeleteYum! That all looks good. Unfortunatley some of my favorite cook out foods are hot dogs and brats. However I've come to love grilled veggies, pasta salads and fresh fruit. Can't wait to get the grill going!
ReplyDeleteHoneysuckle White has some good turkey brats but they're 600mg sodium. Trader Joe's has EXCELLENT chicken dogs for 60 cals and low sodium.
DeleteRainbow Kebabs with Mango Chipotle Shrimp! That's got my mouthwatering right now!
ReplyDeleteI've gotta say, they're pretty dang good! :)
DeleteLove that Lemon Shake Up recipe! But my favorite cookout food will always be corn. Delicious, sweet corn. :)
ReplyDeleteWe're one of the weirdoes that actually cook out all year long. We'll have 3 feet of snow and it'll be 20 below, and we still grill out on the deck. Once the driveway gets shoveled, we do the deck....yep, weirdoes. =o)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, love the Lemon Shake Up, too...have used that one many-a-time!
ReplyDeleteI always say I'm going to cook out in the winter but we never do. Will have to rectify that this year! So glad you like the lemon shake up. It's one of our faves too!
DeleteI love all grilled foods! Grilled veggies make an awesome cold salad and great leftovers.
ReplyDeleteGrilling rocks! You're right on the leftovers. So good!
