So.
J went to the doctor last week. He's started meds for atrial fibrillation and high blood pressure. The doctor has also given him a diet plan to work on incorporating into his life. The biggest ick on it for me is the suggestion of fish at least twice per week. I'm not a fish girl. As in, I don't like it and don't cook it. The things we do for love.
As a result, there will be some changes to what we eat here on the mountain. Frankly, we've both been losing weight slowly, just through my cooking at home (which is frightening, when you really think about it. Sometime I'll have to talk in greater detail about my suspicion surrounding low-fat and fat-free products). We're hoping with the incorporation of more fruit and vegetables and some fiber we can achieve some more.
Here's this week's plan. We're off for a long weekend to see my inlaws, so it's a short week.
Monday: Friends of ours just lost her father. I volunteered to take a meal to them. I made them an Oatmeal Cake with Coconut-Pecan frosting from Pinterest that looked and smelled delicious. I also took them the Cheesy Mexican Chicken Casserole. Half to them, half to us for dinner with salad.
Tuesday: Lunch is a new macaroni and cheese and plums, a fruit that J has never tried. Dinner is Fish en Papillote with vegetables.
Wednesday: Dinner is the leftovers of the chicken casserole
Thursday: J has another doctor's appointment, and it's just far enough away that that timing of it is bothersome. As a result, we're having Breakfast Pitas and then a snack after the appointment. Grilled steak and vegetables for dinner.
Should be a good week. I'm excited to spend time in a new cookbook.
