Well - I'm creeping back out into the real world. Thank you all for your kind comments and emails through this tough time. I guess you could say I'm still in recovery mode. Most of the time I'm "fine" (in a relative sense of the word) but then I hear a song on the radio (Miley Cyrus's the Climb is the WORST) and I completely lose it...baby steps, baby steps (even saying that makes me cringe...maybe I should say itty-bitty steps, itty-bitty steps).
In other news, I have an appointment set up for a phone consultation with the RE on October 1st. I am very much looking forward to this. I already have a plan of action in my head, so I'm really hoping that the doctor agrees with my line of thinking..
And because I really don't have anything else to post about (other than the impending doom that is the first day of school tomorrow), I'll do a MPM for the week...
Monday - Labor Day - burgers on the grill & homemade baked potato chips (modified this recipe)
Tuesday - Haluski (with cabbage) w/ my bloggy buddy Candi's spaetzle
Wednesday - Wing night for G, so leftovers for me
Thursday - Chicken Pot Pie using leftover chicken from the chicken noodle soup I made over the weekend
Friday - Something on the run before G's football game
Chicken Pot Pie recipe (from my friend Ruthie):
Sautee chopped onions, carrots & celery in olive oil. Sprinkle 2-3 Tbsp. flour over veggies and add 1 can of chicken broth (add peas, corn, etc if desired). Bring to a boil until it thickens. Add 2 cups of cooked cubed potatoes and bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken. Pour into pie crust & put the second crust on top (poke holes w/ a fork). Bake @ 350 until crust is golden brown and the inside bubbles up!

I was just thinking about you last night. Glad to hear from you.
Welcome back. I missed you.
I'm glad to see you're back and that you already have a plan in mind for that appointment.
And if you have the Rachael Ray tomato sauce recipe you mentioned, I'd love to have it!
Glad to see you back ;)
Good to hear from you. Don't rush your healing - it takes time. I am glad to hear you have an appt with the RE :)
Menu sounds yum!
Glad you're back, Teri! Hang in there... and good luck with those preschoolers this week. *HUGS* and prayers for both of you guys, always.
It's so good to hear from you. I think about and pray for you every day. Itty-bitty steps are good! And thanks for the recipe!
Glad to see you back, Teri.
Our kitchen is almost complete(finally--watch for pictures soon!), and I can't wait to get back to cooking. I am literally sick of the quick stuff and eating out. Your menu sounds tasty!
*hugs, Big Hugs*
Glad you are back! Love you!
((hugs))
I hope they listen to your plan and give it the consideration it deserves.
Thinking of you..
