Recipe Review
In case you didn’t read this yesterday, I
am trying something new this week.
I
have an upcoming colonoscopy, and am so limited in what I eat this week, that I
can’t create and review many recipes. So I was thinking about putting something
new in this section and then I had an epiphany. I am going to talk about some
recipes I wish I could create, but wouldn’t, because of allergies or just
because I don’t like certain types of food.
I hope you appreciate the new recipes
even though there will be no review.
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Heavenly Hummus Wrap
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
This recipe really calls to me,
partially because it is really pretty and because it sounds so good. This one
is a no no because the hummus messes with my Coumadin. So all things made of
chick peas are out.
I
learned something new today – there are spinach tortillas. Who knew? Leave it to them to put a veggie in a tortilla. Maybe this is a way I can get a serving
of veggies in my diet. Does it
count if it is in tortilla form??
Somehow, I think it lost some of the benefits when you changed the form.
The
other thing that calls to me are the artichoke hearts. I love an artichoke dip – does that
count? I know artichokes have lots of fiber. That’s good! They also don’t have
a lot of fat or calories. That’s good! They have antioxidants. That’s
good! Lastly, they have potassium
and Vitamin C. We can’t get too much of them. That makes them great!
Now,
if I could only figure out something to substitute for the hummus, I would be
“in like Flynn.” Who the heck was
Flynn? Somebody email me and give
me a substitute so I can make and review this one.

I did it this week and the price I paid was in a minimal weight loss. There was
one day that I would eat anything in front of me. What is that about? Oh well, Scarlett, tomorrow is another
day.
Wants and Wishes
I
am sitting here this morning anxious for my fabulous plumbers to arrive and fix
the toilet that I broke a few weeks ago. It kept running so I thought I could
repair it myself by bending the rod – but I heard a snap. Oops! Big mistake. The toilet kept running, so in a panic I called
my nephew, at the crack of dawn, and told him what I had done. He had me shut
off the water to it and make an appointment for them to come over to repair my
booboo. I decided to wait until
school was out to have them come and today is the day. Yeah!!! I am also having
them replace the water hose to the washer, as I heard it should be done every
10 years and mine is going on 16. This is going to be a fabulous day, thanks to
Good Call Plumbing.
When
was the last time you replaced your water hose to the washer? Don’t wait until it bursts and you now
have major water damage. Just call:
