Thanks, Kathy, for posting the link for RM's Made Rights. My hubby was really pleased with this recipe. I had it on corn thins, and he had it with chips, and also with bread. You can add other beans, corn, peppers.....whatever you want, but it is delicious according the recipe -- I always start with the recipe the first time, and tweak it in different directions when I make it again.

Someone might bring it up -- there is 1 can of condensed tomato soup in the recipe. There IS some sugar in condensed tomato soup, but you are thinning it down with other ingredients so much, it isn't a problem. HOWEVER, you can also make your own "condensed" soup by blending canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and some beans to replace the milk. It will still taste delicious, either way! 

Enjoy!
Terri

Thanks for the info on the RMs and sorry for taking over the journal .

But I guess I didn't make my question clear. I know what the are and have actually made them several times as they are on the laminated recipe cards ( I love these cards, so convenient!). But my confusion is why they are called "RMs". I'm sure it is something obvious I am missing.

R.M. is the initials of Roger's uncle, I believe. Both men are "Roger," so in the family they go by their initials, R.M. and R.T.

Whatever they call them, the Made Rights are delicious! In fact, I think I'll put them on the menu for later this week.

Karen you have made a good choice for a mentor.  I think Wendy is right on top of it.  and I love the way she cooks new things and makes the meals great.  If you go to the recipies you will find alot of things.  Love ya, Jessica

Be praying for me I am driving to Coeurd'Alene Idaho tomorrow for about 5 or 6 days to see my mom and two sons.  I am also meeting the fiances family on Sunday.  I am 4 weeks out of surgery and seem to be able to drive good enough to drive that far so I think if I get out and stretch here and there I won't get so stiff.
I had company for lunch and so decided to make 2 different kinds of LDL food so they could get an idea of the great food we eat.  I made a recipe I found on the board that called for orange marmalade it was really good but I think the apricot would be just as good even with the mandarin oranges.

B:  Orange, banana & grapefruit smoothie
L:  Pizza soup
    Chicken breast w/ marmalade onion sauce and mandarin oranges
D:  Butternut Squash & Roasted Garlic Soup (Yummy this is the best soup)

Mike's Day:

B:  Mixed fruit smoothie
L:  Green salad
    Chicken breast w/ marmalade onion sauce and mandarin oranges
D:  Grapes
    Butternut Squash & roasted garlic soup

Looks like you'll have beautiful weather for the drive, Wendy. Today was our first afternoon of sunshine in quite a while -- at least it seems that way.

Looking at your menus, you are doing awesomely, wonderfully well. I know your family will be proud -- I'm sure they're proud of you anyway, but your success on LDL will just have them bustin' buttons!   

Drive safely!
Terri

Thanks Teri
I got myself down a bit tonight by trying on practically everything in my closet trying to find just the right outfit to wear to meet all these people I don't know.  I still have a long ways to go to fit into alot of the clothes but at least I am heading in the right direction.
Mike just let the dogs out one last time and noticed it is snowing pretty good here.  It is supposed to be nice the rest of the week and into next wee when I will be traveling home again. I am bringing my laptop with me so will be somewhat connected and able to read the posts.

I know your family will be proud -- I'm sure they're proud of you anyway, but your success on LDL will just have them bustin' buttons!   

I wholeheartedly agree with Terri -- your family will be so amazed at how far you have come in such a short while. As for your future daughter-in-law's family... relax and just be the wonderful person you are 

[Karen Weeks]

[dinker]

Drive safe and enjoy your visit.  I live in Florida and my son lives in Ohio.  I miss him so much.  He is going to be in Florida for a wedding the beginning of April so we will get to visit with him and his wife for two days.  Then they will be back with the children in July. 

Family is so wonderful!!!!
