I posted this on my writer's blog yesterday to celebrate, but thought it fitting to post here as well.Family is what makes Mother's Day special and I just wanted to brag about mine. My three wonderful daughters, with my amazing husband created this meal from scratch for me today.
When asked what I would like for my Mother's Day meal, I mentioned how I enjoyed my husband's unique sauces and that I had a craving for sauteed peppers and zucchini. Well, doesn't my family just find the perfect recipes. They even arranged it on the plate in the shape of an "M". For disclosure of what I fully enjoyed for supper tonight, I've included the menu plan that my daughter, Sabrina, typed up and placed next to my place setting for me.Thank you dear family for a wonderful meal! You guys rock!! I love you all very much!!
I'm the luckiest Mom around. Praise God for His amazing grace!
Now, you will notice that my family also kept my weight control issues in mind as they created this meal. Grilled boneless skinless chicken breast with lots of lightly stirfried veges in a light olive oil spray. Even the wonderful sauces were low in fat and sugar content. So I enjoyed an amazing, decedant meal, without guilt!
As for the dessert--well, we won't think about the calories that came with that, but I deserved it, it was after all MOTHER'S DAY!
On an aside. If you enjoy reading Christian Romances, Steeple Hill's Love Inspired line especially, drop into my writer's blog and leave a comment on the posting of my interview with Cheryl Wyatt, author of A Soldier's Promise and A Soldier's Family for a chance to win an autographed set of these fast paced, high-energy debut novels. Drawing takes place on Wednesday evening.
And, hey, what do you all think of the new template for this blog? Is it better, or worse than the old one and is there any specific topics you'd like to see addressed here to help you with your goal? I'm up for suggestions. Let's work together to fight the low-metabolism challenge.
Blessings,
Eileen
