Thanks Pat. I did buy the low sodium broths, so they aren't so high. This morning I am having an EAS protein drink, chocolate fudge, it is really smooth and tastes pretty good. I'm taking things one day at a time. My husband told me last night, he misses the way I cooked before our daughter and her family moved in with us. Everything was grilled on my George Foreman, the veggies were are steamed in my steamer and we would alternate carbs with dinner, rice, potatoes or pasta. Last night we had baked boneless skinless chicken breast with grilled summer squash and macaroni and cheese. The kids wouldn't try the squash but ate everything else. I sure miss those meals too. My daughter's husband is very picky and he is a big steak eater, so it seems like we are always eating steak, rice and corn or green beans. I told my daughter I am sick of eating the same old stuff, so she gets me different veggies like asparagus or spinach, and some of my favorite frozen mixes.
