Feeling much better emotionally today. I think I'm bouncing back quicker from when I receive the bad fertility news than in the past. I'm sure I'll have some relapses during the day, but right now, I feel pretty good. Not sure if everyone who posted to my journal yesterday saw my response, but THANK YOU for all your kind words and support, it meant a great deal to me.
Today is actually the first day I am not wearing a sweater over my outfit at work, and haven't felt self conscious about my body, my arms in particular.
The hubby gave me a recipe that he created for southwestern type gumbo…that was soooooo good! And very little points. I made it last night, and it was absolutely delicious. Here it is…I'll try and enter it in the recipes section on this site over the weekend. Seriously YUMMY.
SOUTHWESTERN GUMBO 1 Raw Chicken breast, diced (4oz) 2 Chicken Sausage, diced (we use Casual Gourmet, Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella Chicken Sausage from Costco's) 8 Raw Jumbo Shrimp (cut into pieces) 1 onion diced 1 red pepper diced 2 Italian green peppers diced 1 jalapeno diced (with or without seeds, depending on your preference) 1 tomato diced 1 Cup Fat-Free, Low sodium Chicken Broth 1 tbsp garlic Okra, cut into dime size shapes - not too thin (not sure of how much, but I used enough to fill 1/2 of a plastic food bag at the store) 2 ears of cooked corn - kernels stripped off Salt to taste 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp Chipotle Tabasco sauce :)
Sauté onions first, add some salt to soften them up, approx 5-10 minutes. Add peppers (red, Italian, and jalapenos) cook for 5 minutes. Add okra cook for 5 minutes, slowly adding broth until okra is tender, then add the tomato cook for 3 minutes Add all of the spices Add chicken sausages, chicken, and shrimp Cook until the meat is done.
