Trying new foods

...while the husband is gone is not a good idea.  I have been following Gina's skinny recipes blog for a while now.  It wasn't until right after my husband left that I decided to look at her blog for dinner ideas.  See, it was already time to go grocery shopping and I like to have dinner meals planned out in advance so I can buy specific foods instead of buy a few things and then try to make meals out of them later.

I found this great salad recipe.  I just changed up the crab meat for chicken since I already had it.The reason why I say it isn't a good idea to try new foods while my husband is away is because we usually sit down, eat dinner as a family and all is good.  Since he has been gone I haven't been pressing the sit and eat issue.  Since it is summer they are also more excited about playing with friends than being forced to sit down and eat any meal.  So, when they saw this new "salad" on their plates they didn't want to have anything to do with it.  It was the avocadoes that threw them off.  Can you believe it?  They wouldn't eat anything because they don't like avocadoes.  Usually I am fine with that, just leaves more for me but with hubby gone that meant basically a whole bowl of delicious, healthy salad has gone to waste.I think it was a great summer and healthy salad and after my husband comes home I will be trying this again.  Maybe I will leave the avocadoes out and the hubby and I can add them as we want.  Here is the direct link to the recipe.  Of course her picture is much better than mine.Sorry about the lack of watermark right now, the hubs has the computer with that program on it and I am not sure where the disk is to install it on this computer.Also, I do have a card to show you.  Hopefully more after this weekend.  I am still trying to get my crafting mojo back after such a long break.  I will share the card on Monday.Have a great weekend!!!Thanks for stopping by!!!
