Wendy, How do you make chili omelet? Thanks, Ollie

[Joyful Friend]

Wendy, will be praying for your friend, and strength for you.  My sis had a breast removed 15 yrs. ago, and she is sill going strong. God is the God of healing. Joyful Friend

[wendysgoodnews]

Thanks for all the prayer for Mary.  She is doing well and was released after 1 day in the hospital because of insurance requirements.  A friend has taken her in and will care for her until she can go home.

The chili omelet:

Make a flat egg omelet by beating 2 or 3 eggs with water, cook until fully cooked.
For the chili I use home made or canned which ever I have
I put chili on 1/2 of flat egg and add a bit of cheese and onion then fold in half
I cook until chili is heated and then eat.  I have on occation put a dab of sour cream on top.
Especially on days like today when I have to get up so early and be gone all day I have to have something more then fruit for breakfast or I can't make it until lunch.  This is filling and I have been still losing weight eating it.

i went to Missoula for the day so ate a large breakfast since I knew we would be late eating again.  I still have a terrible cold and have been eating cough drops all day and taking NyQuil at night so I can sleep.  I haven't gained any weight doing this but I haven't lost either so hopefully by next weigh in I will be off these cold items.

I checked out the coconut flavoring at the Good Food Store today.  It is made with agave syrup and coconut milk so that one is out.

I can't believe the insurance would make her be release the day after such a hugh surgery.  We definitely need to overhaul our insurance if that is what they are doing to people after such major surgery.  Thank goodness she has a good friend.

[CodingQueen]

dinker,

You can thank Harvard University that developed the DRG payment system for Medicare for that...not the insurance companies. They just followed suit.

I was just horrified when the doctor told her she had to leave the next day.  To make it worse my friend is 86 yrs old so their is no way she could have gone home and gotten by.  Praise God she is doing very well and getting good care from friends.

[LINDA RN]

So now she becomes another statistic in their favor because, "see even an 86 yr old can go home next day and do well." Bahhhhhhh 

[wendysgoodnews]

Ya you are right and I can tell you she is someone that is such a young 80 year old that  not many would do as well as she has.  This just is so sad to me that it has come to this.

I made Black Olive Meatloaf today but didn't have any Rye Crisp so decided to put whole red kidney beans in and cut the olives in half so they would be much bigger.  I added an extra egg and it was delicious, we didn't even miss not having bread.

Our Bible study tonight was at a Jewish couples house so for Penticost we had blitzes.  She had made homemade strawberry jam but I passed on that and ate the funny thin egg pancakes filled with a cottage cheese & cream cheese.  Very interesting and didn't want to hurt their feelings but only had the one helping.

Margi so good to see you on my journal.  Thanks for the comments.  I love the variety and the freedom of LDL so I don't generally stray from the approved foods.

Wendy,

I found your Black Olive Meatloaf recipe and printed it out.  I love meat loaf and this variation sounds great.  I, too, love the variety of LDL recipes and try to make a new one once a week.

Which sloppy joe recipe did you use over your scrambled eggs?  Your imaginative ways of fixing foods never ceases to amaze me!

Did you find the Sloppy Joe recipe?  It is under main meals and should be on top.  I ate this over scrambled eggs and it was really good.  Roger mentioned to try making it into patties and eat it like that.  I plan on trying that next time but will have to cook it down more so it would be firmer.

We ran up town and ended up spur of the moment on a trip to the lake to see how high the water has risen with such low run off this year.  Didn't plan for any food so stopped in a store and they had a small bag of white chedder pop corn.

Yep, found it yesterday. On my list to make sometime this week. Thanks for asking.

I made Taco Soup today but it didn't get done in time for lunch so had a small bowl for dinner instead.  I thought I would have it for all this week starting tomorrow but it smelled so good I just had to have some tonight.
