Slow Cooker Beef Pasta...another Pinterest Recipe..oh so good for a gloomy day..stay tuned for the recipe...It was very hard not to go for another bowl but I didn't...#stayingstrong

I used grass fed ground beef, organic garlic and no rBST cheeses

Sunday's are our munchies night...lots of veggies, cheese crackers andsummer sausage. Normally I just take from each platter not really takenotice of my portions. So with my new plates I filled my bowl withveggies, the small bowl for dip and my plate cheese, crackers andsummer sausages...excuse my littles foot bombing

Day 4 November 14

Attended Holt International Annual Auction and Dinner...the salad plate was exactly 9"... For the main course the plate was a little bigger . The portion size was small... I was only able to eat the veggies and the chicken with Apple stuffing...I probably had more wine then I should have but it was so yummy...XD

Day 3 November 13

Went out to lunch with my hubby and my littles to Tandoor... As you can see I did not take my portion plate with me, so I had to improvise... The dinner plate that was brought out to me is way bigger then the salad plate. The salad plate was a bit bigger then the 9" round but not by much. So I divided the tandoori chicken kebab to the size of my palm, all the salad and half the rice which I didn't eat since I had naan. For supper which is our Friday pizza night had veggie pizza from Papa Johns...usually we have homemade pizzas. So two slices of veggie pizza, cut up medium apple and of course water...so here's to improvising!!!

Day3: November 12 - Tonight's dinner I made Crockpot Chicken Marsala served over angel hairpasta and roasted broccoli...majority of the ingredients are fromTrader Joes...the chicken was kosher which I was educated on how thechicken was prepared.. As I was serving for my family, I went off ofthe portion plate to gage how much to put on their plates. It was a hitand enough that no one wanted seconds...👍🏻😊 of course got to have myfave candy cane kisses.. Serving size 9 pieces...

Day 2: November 11 - So chili it is on this cold and windy night...the bowl on the left isexactly 2cups as the bowl on the right..to be honest I didn't think itwas going to be enough just having 2 cups of soup... But you know, itwas enough and filled me up...
