More sleep

I just love my Mediterranean Tuna Melts that I was inspired by Rachel Ray to create. Canned tuna in water, capers, roasted red peppers, green olives with pimento, onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil. Put this mixture on whole grain English Muffin halves and sprinkle Fontina cheese over the top. Bake at 450 degrees until the cheese starts to turn brown. They are yummy.

I'm all packed up in the kitchen and we are just waiting for a go-date to break ground so to speak. The kitchen will be gutted. The renovations will take place in the kitchen, dining room and living room. The hallway will also be painted and we're getting all new interior doors.

Can you believe that we ordered a Viking professional gas oven/range with 6 burners in stainless steel? I am so excited. We're getting a new fridge, dish washer, microwave, sink, all new cabinets, a built-in bar which will incorporate our 3 wine coolers, a built in entertainment center and new TV and stereo system, new floors, an island that seats 8 people and the list goes on and on. I am blessed. My Mom is helping us with all of this both financially and creatively. She is a special woman. I do have to say. She is encouraging me to cook right and eat right in our new kitchen.

I've been eating dried Mediterranean apricots with raw almonds and edamame lightly salted for a snack at work. Also, I alternate with South Beach protein fit bars. I've found these Lean Cuisine Asian lunches and they are really good. The stir fry chicken with peanut sauce is excellent for a diet meal.

Tonight we had diet hot dogs with fat free chili and whole wheat buns, onions, mustard, cheese and a spinach and romaine salad to go with. Must keep up the iron intake!

Good night everyone. Remember to get your beauty sleep. That's so important and I just don't get enough. However, tonight I am seeking a long night of sleep!
