Yummy Dessert

Yesterday was SO productive! I went to Aldi and finally managed to get some chicken. They not only had fresh but frozen as well. I got some of each. They were pretty well stocked there which made me so happy. The only things on my list that they didn't have was blue cheese and yeast. It was really good to get out of the house too, if only to drive to Aldi and come home. I will say that it's like a ghost town on the roads. So weird to see downtown Loveland completely empty.

When I got home yesterday I made a delicious dessert! Weight Watchers Skinny Lemon Brownies. (They're not really brownies but whatever.) I tweaked the recipe a little. It calls for a box of lemon cake mix, a can of diet 7-Up (I didn't have any so used diet ginger ale) and a container of Cool Whip. I actually made some sugar free instant vanilla pudding and folded in the Cool Whip and topped the cake with that. Then I served it up with some strawberries. So good! I might have to go bury my face in the cake right now.

I took Scout for a later afternoon walk yesterday and it was hilarious how many people were out and about...walking, running, biking. It was actually crowded on our walk!

Yesterday evening, we had a little covid, socially distant get together with the neighbors and let me tell you it was much needed. I didn't realize how much I missed social interaction with people other than my husband.  I think for all of us, it was a chance to just reset and decompress and although we just sat in the driveway and street and drank a couple beers it was all I needed to give me that little boost. I can't imagine that this will be something that we'll have to deal with until May but if it is, yesterday showed me I can do it! With a little help from my friends.

Speaking of beer: I loves me some Earth Cookie from Little Miami Brewing Company. When we got take out from there a couple days ago, Jim filled my growler with Earth Cookie and it's so delicious! It's a brown ale...loves me a brown ale! I have a bit left...maybe for a beer tonight? I mean, it won't last long in the growler so I'd better drink it, right?

My plans for today: I did my yoga and ate breakfast. I'll clean here in a bit while Jim works out in the yard. It's going to be another beautiful day so I'd like to spend it outside. I might take a bike ride. Correction - I'll be taking a bike ride once the temps rise a bit. Other than that, who knows. Maybe a little walk with Scoutie...it just makes him so happy and might as well while the weather's nice, right?

Dinner tonight will be pork chops, probably on the grill. Something easy that won't leave leftovers because I have WAY too many leftovers.

Okay - well, happy Thursday! Stay healthy! Later!
