Weekend Woes

I woke up late today with an awful sinus headache.  It was too late for breakfast and then eat lunch so plans change but that is life.

I started with a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich.  I then moved on to...

Around that 3 pm drop in blood sugar, I had an All-Bran bar and that worked.  Tonight I have decided to have the salmon and a salad.

I have worked on a menu for this coming week...

So far I`m feeling good.  I`m being flexible and adjusting as needed without going off the rails.   Check my blog for the starred recipes.  I`m planning on featuring the herb omelette, pork rice paper rolls, chicken jalapeno, vegetable soup and chicken piccata this week.  My favourite grocery has Pop chips on sale this week so I thought I`d try them for those carb cravings.

Wish me luck!  I`ve taken sinus meds and am going to get my head done for half an hour.
