Heh guys, check the new thread on the main board I just wrote. Feedback please, and bless each of your hearts! YBIC....TR Taco Bell sounds great - used to go to the one in NJ. I love Golden Corral and miss going there because the nearest one is in NY. But we do have a Chili’s ... even though its Mexican ... these 3 meals are to die for and they don’t taste Mexican ... BBQ Ribs, Steaks or the Bacon/Avocado Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Their Cheesecake is wickedly good. I saw your new thread and already responded. :yes: Ravioli, Garlic Bread, Garden Salad and Raspberry Lemonade. Looks like dinner will be Waffles with Pistachio ice cream Oh my! I have a lot to learn on how to keep track of responses!!! I'm not on the computer much on the weekend and I'm working during the week, so my check-in times are spotty. Tender Reed, what was the title of your new thread? Being a diabetic, I would think you need to eat on a regular basis and not much pasta? I had a diabetic cat; he was not regulated. He was a miracle. For 3-1/2 years his numbers went from the 200's to 300's to mostly 400 & 500's and then this past September, 600's. VERY long story, but I learned a lot about carbs and have changed the way I eat as a result. Chili's has really good fajitas. I love Mexican; actually there isn't much I don't like! Geri7; I love our farmlands and don't always take as much advantage of them as I should, but I do indulge in the availability! You are a good mom for your dog. It is my opinion that the more real food you give your dog; the healthier he will be. My dad gave our German-Shepherd/Collie our leftovers everyday on top of her dry food. She lived to be 13 or 14 years old; healthy as a horse till the day she went to rainbow bridge. I too order special food for my kitty. I buy a non-carb dry food and must order it online; it's not cheap. No one sells it in a store. He's worth it! I love seafood too; it's my favorite. Not fish so much, but I do make salmon on a pretty regular basis because it's good for us. Yesterday I marinated a pork loin with a coconut milk, peanut sauce and baked it so that will pretty much be my dinner every day this week. Additionally, I made fried rice. For this week's snack, I made deviled eggs so while I'm working I can pop some quick and easy protein! Oops!! I "liked" my own thread! Lol! No problem ... life keeps us so busy. Glad you were able to stop in and sit down for a few minutes at the cyber dinner table. B-) Oh my ... glad your handsome kitty is doing better. Is that him in your avatar pic? I agree homemade meals for our fur babies keeps them living longer and gives them a variety so they aren’t tired of the same old dry nuggets and/or can food. My dog also loves munching on lettuce, carrots, apples, watermelon, pineapple and blueberries. Yep, I agree the better quality food is expensive but in the long run ... sooo worth it ... only the best for our fur babies. :whistle: Wow that marinated coconut milk pork loin dish sounds sooo delicious and with the fried rice. Yum! Its great that you will have leftovers to enjoy. I will have to try that some time ... I love coconut milk. Yes; the avatar pick is my cat. One of my friends cooks salmon, for her dog, along with other meats. She gives him special dry food and then human food on top. That dog is very healthy! It sounds like your dog is very healthy too; and lucky to have a mom who takes good care of him! Oh sorry for the mix up. Thanks for explaining. Cool how he loved the homemade chicken soup and was living on that until got well to live a little longer. You gave him the best quality of life and I love how the Lord answered prayers. Yep, my puppy went for his check up 4 weeks ago and is healthy as can be. Speaking about chicken soup ... that’s on the menu tonight ... not homemade though, wish it was ... instead its Campbells so that means I will be adding more noodles. Also will have a garden salad and some cherries for dessert. Lazy day ... no breakfast ... late lunch was Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken, Mash Potatoes with Gravy and Corn. Not bad for being a frozen dinner and only $2.00 on sale. I’m skipping dinner.
He is not the diabetic. Unfortunately, the diabetic passed away in September. His blood glucose was too high for too long, no matter what I did; or the good food he ate. He started looking really bad about 2 1/2 years ago and lost a lot of weight. I started making fresh chicken in the crock pot every week and bone broth. He never liked human food before, but he inhaled this chicken with homemade chicken broth. For about four months he couldn't get enough of it and loved drinking the bone broth several times a week. Between praying over him EVERY DAY and him eating healthy fresh chicken AND the bone broth; he came back to life! The Vet said it wasn't possible for him to gain his weight back with his blood glucose numbers in the 400's; BUT, he DID gain his weight back and his fur was soft and shinny again. He looked healthy and acted healthy until the day his body just said, "enough". Sorry for rambling; the topic is still so near and dear to my heart.
