Sorry there's no punctuation it a rant. ????

I want you to be encouraged that you absolutely CAN do this!

I got out of the hospital on 12/22/15 and on 12/25/15 I was cooking Christmas dinner for my family. This included broccoli casserole, maple bacon brussle sprouts, and fried turkey. There was a pan of my mother's amazing cornbread dressing tempting me on the counter. I couldn't eat any of it. But I still had to feed my husband and daughter! It was hard and I did cry once, but I got through it!

Later on in that week, I helped my daughter prepare, bake, and package up like 5 lbs of candied pecans for gifts. I didn't eat one of them! This was a bit easier because I had already worked through the Christmas experience.

For the next challenge, I cooked homemade brocolli cheese Soup for the family. It was absolutely delicious...so I heard. I did dip my spoon in and use my finger to taste a drop. I thought it was fantastic. But I couldn't eat any of it! So be it!

I haven't cooked for the family since the brocolli cheese challenge. There's plenty of left overs, so they are on their own for now. But this won't last forever. Next week I will probably be baking porkchops, steaming vegetables, and baking corn bread. I will puree a lean porkchop for myself along with a soft vegetable and we'll be done.

If I can do it, you can do it! I'm just as addicted to food as anyone else here!!!
