My Kitchen
202.8. I have lost 25 pounds in 2 months. I started CR Sept. 18, 2007. I couldn’t be happier.
I cooked the egg whites again this morning. I just can’t get used to them. They have to be the worst tasting breakfast ever. I will have to get serious about finding something to either make them better or just go back to my one banana. I really did enjoy the banana. I need to find another source for protein in the AM.
I spent 4 hours cleaning the kitchen today, I felt it deserved some pictures. I really love this kitchen. The last one I had was so much bigger and lots more cabinets, bigger pantry and drawers. I designed it as well as this one. The Greek picks the appliances. What I like about this kitchen is the layout and the peninsula cook-top. I had the Wolf 6 burner before. It was so hard to keep clean and the grates far to heavy for me to pick up. This one is more my style, it has only 5 burners but all my huge pans fit fine. I also am in love with the oven and microwave. The oven is by far the best I have ever used. The oven, M/W, and cook-top are DCS Pro. The hood is pretty cool too, it has glass on the lower part. I wanted this because you can see through it and it makes the kitchen more open. This is a small house, the front door opens into the family room, dining area and kitchen, so when you open the door the hood doesn’t block the eye flow. I designed the towel area so I can have kitchen towels at my ready at all times. I buy a dozen at a time so they are all alike and use the old ones for rags. Next to the towel shelf and hanger, is the cutting board cabinet. I have a few cutting boards in there as well as baking sheets. All the lower cabinets are drawers with full extension. I keep all pots, pan, plates and bowls in them, I couldn’t live without them. I had so many baking supplies and machines that they didn’t fit in the kitchen. I did find room for the machines but the pans are all in the laundry room which is connected to the kitchen. It is very handy, although unfinished. It still is not painted.
Today is my Grandson’s 19th. birthday, hard to believe that cute little boy is already 19. Wow, I was married already and a mother to his mother, my husband was 19. Tory is smarter than both of us were at his age. Good going Tory, and Happy Birthday. Love you, GMA.
On the menu today:
- 3 Icky egg whites
- 1 1/4 cups black bean salad
- 4 ounce organic beef patty
- 1 1/2 cups Greek style green beans
- 1/2 Fresh Tomato
- 4 dates
- 14 walnut halves
- 2 cups Black Grapes
Not a big calorie day. The numbers need to be run through the cron o meter to see if I need to add anything more. I am thinking I might not get to the grapes. I don’t eat after 7. I have 35 minutes left. The nutrients for today. The protein is a bit low, I will try to fix that tomorrow.
