The weather strikes again! Everytime it warms up for day or 2, then gets cold again, we all get sick! Ugh! I am so tired of all the colds. So far just my son and I have it, hopefully it will stay that way. My daughter seems to have the ability to dodge all the colds and viruses we catch. Thank goodness. My sister and her daughter are still here. I did really well yesterday, ate very light all day, then for dinner I made a healthy beef stroganoff on Whole wheat egg noodles. Everyone really liked it. Even all the kiddos. I didn't exercise though. I have to do that the rest of the week. I want to get out of the 190's by monday. I am going to make dark chocolate covered strawberries for my hubby's valentines. We all 4 LOVE them, so it will be a better treat than a box of chocolates. Then I told my husband I wanted him to cook dinner for us valentine's night. We don't have a sitter so we will be home together with the kids and then maybe have a glass of wine or 2 after the kiddos go to bed. My husband has only cooked spaghetti and hamburger helper for me in the past. He can cook eggs and grilled cheese too, but that is the extent of it. Oh, except for grilling, he is great on the grill. I told him how wonderful it would be to sit down to a home cooked meal that I didn't have to cook myself! lol. So, we'll see how that turns out. He does want me to pick out a couple recipes for him, so I need to browse ideas for healthy, somewhat simple meals for him to cook. I am excited to see the results!
