My husband pointed out a recipe in last week’s paper to me and asked if I would try it. It was for minestrone soup. I love minestrone soup, especially the stuff at my favorite restaurant, Mama Mia’s. The Olive Garden minestrone isn’t bad either.

I haven’t posted about a recipe in a while, and I also haven’t lost my next pound in a couple of days. So, rather than fret, I thought I’d try a new recipe. I have some purple cabbage left over from a previous appetizer, so I searched for recipes using purple cabbage. I’m going to [...]
I missed a day yesterday without my cabbage soup, and, as odd as it sounds, I really was greatly looking forward to it today as if I hadn’t had it in years!

This morning was a happy weigh-in! I reached the 258 mark, so I’m a tenth of the way there. While it feels great, I know the easiest part is behind me. Each successive ten pounds is going to be harder and harder.
A couple hours after my light breakfast this morning, I started feeling the hunger [...]
