Whale Watchers Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe
Good Morning Whale Watchers,
I am sorry I am getting this out a bit late this morning. I actually slept in this morning. I think the bike riding is wearing me out, but it is a good kind of tired. I am happy to report I lost two pounds this morning.The weather here in New Orleans has been perfect the past few days. This sun is shining and the temperature is about 75 degrees for the high. Not a cloud in the sky which means very little humidity. Yes I love it ! Yesterday, I bought a 2 planters and some pretty flowers for my front deck. I also spent some time out there this morning, just watching the birds and butterflies. We also have a little squirrel that climbs up and down our big tree in the front. I love being outdoors and nature, don't you? Today as we approach St. Patrick's Day, which by the way, is a big celebration in New Orleans, I want to include a recipe for Corned Beef and Cabbage. It is a great low calorie dish that we should eat more often. I will include the recipe at the end of this email. Can you believe they throw carrots and potatoes off the parade floats for St. Patrick's Day, instead of beads!!! If you have a favorite recipe for Corned Beef and Cabbage, please share with the group. I know we have alot of Irishmen and women in our Whale Watchers group. One of them is Chrystal Lee, our Freddie, and Tim and Peggy Buzbee to name a few. Bye the way, Tim and Peggy have the most adorable, beautiful grand-daughter names Juliana. I received a picture of her in the mail yesterday and fell in love. The cheeks on the baby are too cute ! The parents of Juliana are Brandon and Jessica Buzbee. Great job you two! I know of two proud grandparents, yes Tim and Peggy Buzbee. Congrats to all ! Okay, babies are distracting and they make me smile. Now back to the reality of eating healthy. What diet are you following. Has anyone heard or tried the 17 day diet ? I pretty much follow my own diet, I take some from each diet and incorporate what works for me. I eat very simply. Eggs or hot cereal for breakfast, sandwich with wholewheat rounds, only 110 calories for one bun. I have a snack of nuts or crackers and cheese in the afternoon. Our dinner is a big salad and some protein. The protein can be hard boiled eggs, which I keep in my refrigerator at all times like Lily and Dave), chicken, fish, lean ground beef. One of my favorites is Montreal chicken seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder on chicken thighs baked in the oven at 385 degrees for about an hour. Put foil on the pan for easy clean up. Easy and delicious ! Whatever diet or healthy eating plan you are following is okay. Just be sure you are getting enough nutrients and calories to lose weight. We sometimes starve ourselves and our body rebels and thinks we are starving and won't let those pounds come off. Try to space out smaller meals thru out the day. You will be less hungry and alot healthier.
