New Recipes

Trying some new appetizers when the kids come over for dinner tonight.  Whole 30.  I have everything prepped and ready to cook.  I needed something extra yummy for me to try so I'm not battling eating the other "fun" foods.

Here's what I'm trying ... the asparagus is not really a "recipe," but it sounds good.  I prepped the mushrooms as she suggested so all I need to do is assemble and bake.  And, these might be good options for our neighborhood gatherings.

Stuffed Mushrooms Nom Nom Paleo

Prosciutto Asparagus Spears Nom Nom Paleo

Yesterday ended up being a better day than I expected.  The cooking was my TREAT and between grocery shopping and prepping for tonight's dinner, I kept busy.

Hubby and I had a long conversation about all the NEW in our lives and I think we are finally on the same page.  That relieved tension and I'm more relaxed than I have been in awhile.

Of course, the relief of stress makes me want to celebrate too -- what emotion doesn't go with watermelon, wine and cheese - hah!!!  Fortunately, COACHING tool held strong.

I still need to make a plan for the week ahead.  It's too blah, but I'm drawing blanks.

Short and sweet today -- I want to get to my workout.  TREAT is kids for dinner and EATING the new recipes LOL.  TOOL is back to feeling the feelings.  My emotions are all over the map and I need to allow them, accept them and be okay with not feeling emotionally awesome today (or this week).

Later gators.
