1 . Don’t try to "save" your calories for the big event, which can lead to overeating and less likely healthy choices.
2 . Use portion control. If you want to try everything on the menu, make sure you get an extra small portion.
3 . Grilled vegetables help us feel full without a lot of calories. Eat fresh fruit for dessert.
3 . Choose lean proteins.
4 . Use whole-wheat buns for burgers, reduce the amount of mayonnaise you use in potato salad, and add herbs and spices to flavor foods instead of salt.
"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."
If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.
If you go to bed at night and think about your day and you haven't laughed very much, then you must jump out of bed and go do something fun.
I must be getting absent-minded. Whenever I complain that things aren't what they used to be, I always forget to include myself.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. (Your friends love you, anyway!)
Greetings HB,
ReplyDeleteNow that is a ginormous flippin burger. I want one. But it's already too late . I ate way too much on Canada day and I can feel it all sitting on my butt right now. Your words of wisdom were excellent as always and I enjoyed them. Have a good night and dream of stealing Joanna's and Nita's cakes...Hahaha.
Luv and a big hug

Hi Poppa ,
ReplyDeleteYou are ready for the 4th , I see you got your special punch ready . Uncle Gil and uncle Chris brought a lot of goodies to the barn , I think they stocked the bar . Aunty said Gregg was here and was going to cook a pig again , He has the road show at Emil and brought 10 great chefs with him . Emil said Gregg told them he was taking them to a family hoe-down where they can stomp their feet and shake their booty's until they fall out . Or maybe pass out from your punch most likely ;-D .
Your loving granddaughter
My dear Granddaughter ,
DeleteI am ready and it is almost 2:AM July 4 and Gregg put the pig on the fire . We are sleeping in the barn until the ladies wake up . I put the apple in the pig mouth . What a great time we will have . Gregg love to bring his chefs from the road show just to show off . The one from New Orleans is a big one but they all are known world wide . Gregg said he brought some videos that can be used on the blogs , he said you liked them and was going to use them . They all is having a great time ad none wanted to go back to the hotel , good we got bathrooms at the barn and they can take showers . See you later my granddaughter .
You loving grandpoppa
