Monday Menu

 Since life has been a pain in the neck, I had to go completely decaf with my coffee and tea choices. Yay to no splitting headaches, boo-hiss to giving up the caffeine buzz. It was annoying, but I managed to kick my long standing caffeine addiction. Now, the challenge is improving my diet. I eat fairly healthy but I see there is room for improvement. As a result, I am getting back into weekly menu planning. I hope to get back to prep cooking, but I suspect that life isn't going to give me time for that on the weekends. Grocery shopping happens Saturday evening. It used to be a thing Saturday afternoon, but since Beloved has taken that task over it happens in the evening. 

I have been using the internet more for looking up recipes than anything else right now. I am getting better at tweaking portion sizes and such to make recipes that I find more diabetic friendly. The biggest challenge I am facing on that front is how to make homemade pizza more diabetic friendly and that's a tough one. We all love pizza over here. But with how prices keep going up, I suspect that our weekly pizza night is going to get complicated. The local pizza place that we love is no longer offering delivery because of how many people have been ordering through places like Doordash. Yes, we live around the corner but we have our days that are lazy. And ordering through the pizza place's website is complicated and adds the Doordash fee to the pizza. So, homemade pizza is going to become more frequent. I  may try the Bisquick pizza crust recipe and see if it goes over well, we'll see.

Enough jabbering, here's the menu.
