Okay, I fell off the green plan over the weekend big time. My husband loves to grill, so we had steaks. Instead of the traditional baked potato and corn, I made a brocolli/rice casserole. I used fat free cream of celery soup with low-fat cheese. It was so good! I also made deviled eggs and cole slaw. Plus a chunky style avocado dip that had feta cheese. I love to cook for my family when I get the chance. We usually live on quick fixes: cereal, eggs, frozen meals. I feel guilty sometimes that I can't always provide a home cooked meal, like the kind I grew up with. What makes it worse is that my mom was a young widow with two small kids to take care of and she worked full time as a nurse, and she still baked her own bread, made dinner every night and kept a spotless house. Sometimes she'll stop by the house when we are at work and clean my house, leave a meal in the fridge and do a few loads of wash. I am very grateful for what she does, but I feel like such a failure sometimes at being a "Domestic Goddess". She says that I am a success at being a wife, mother, friend and employee. So I have take my gold stars where I can get them. I am back on track with LAWL today. I sent leftovers with my husband to share with his co-workers, so temptation shouldn't be screaming at me when i get home tonight.
