I figured out that there are
300 calories, if 15 servings are
made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the
specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
I
loved this dish the first time I made it, so I decided that this is what I
would make for the fire department that serves my neighborhood. I am trying to
make a conscientious effort to do one simple act of kindness a week. I brought
this dish, the dip that follows, some amazing small toasts, crackers, orange
juice, and syrup. The firemen were so sweet and thankful. My brother-in-law is
a fireman in St. Charles, and I know they have to provide their own meals, so I
thought this might be something nice to do for them. I love firemen! Anyone who will run into a burning
building to save me deserves my gratitude!

Clean out the refrigerator dip
Since
I was cooking, I decided to see what else I had in the fridge. I had one
leftover red bell pepper and some cream cheese approaching the expiration date.
I love cream cheese! I thought I
would try to make a dip. I also added some pesto that was leftover from a
previous recipe to the cream cheese and pepper. There was about a fourth of a
cup f pesto in the jar. I mixed it all together and tasted it. I thought it was
pretty good. I also added some fresh basil and a few sprigs of parsley from my
herb garden on my deck. That was the key, I decided. This dip was also given to the firemen to enjoy.
Stress test
I
had a discussion with my physician about having another stress test. It has
been a long time since I had one, actually since we found out that I was in
A-fib. I felt the need to go into
retirement with the knowledge that I am fit as a fiddle. He agreed that it was time to recheck
my heart with a stress test.
I
had my test at Delnor where the staff was wonderful and very professional. They
laughed when asked if I could take their photo for my blog. I have always had
great experiences at Delnor Hospital now Northwestern.
