Day 1 Phase 2...and my sweet dh

Today is my first day of P2...and I am even sicker than I was last night when I posted my whine about being sick. Dh stayed home from work, calling in a sub to take over all of his classes for the day, to take care of the boys and let me just rest and sleep and get better.

Anyways, dh knows I get to reintroduce a grain back into my diet today, and he knows that I have really really missed my morning oatmeal (always have the "old-fashioned" oats...never the instant. ICK!) I did buy steel-cut oats this week in preparation for this big day, but poor dh had no clue how to make them, seeing that I bought them at the bulk foods dept and there isn't any instructions for him to follow.

So after checking my "SB Kitchen Bible" (Good Fats Good Carbs Guide) to make sure it was OK he made me a nice warm bowl of old-fashioned oats, topped off with my usual ground flax (I love the naturally sweet and nutty favor), splenda, cinnamon, and nutmeg, a dash of skim milk and a small pad of Smart Balance spread.

OMG it was SOOOOO good, and it made me feel a little better. He even served me in bed, along with a nice big mug of fresh coffee with skim milk and splenda, and the lap-top so I could check me email and the boards. I did end throwing a little bene-fiber to my coffee to boost my fiber intake with this meal.

My dh is so sweet...now I just need to figure out his angle and what he is trying to work for! ROFL! I do know he has been eyeing a new set of golf clubs for himself. Men...they are so predictable! LOL! ;o)
