So Tony’s doctor appointment went as well as we could have expected. Now we wait three more weeks (without antibiotics) and then he goes back. They will take fluid from his knee and make sure the infection is gone. We have a standing date at the end of March to have his knee replaced, so fingers crossed everything works out!
So no pics of breakfast or lunch – pretty uneventful. I had an english muffin for breakfast and for lunch I packed sandwiches for us – mine was a buffalo chicken pita with pretzels on the side and a diet Mr. Pibb. We actually ate lunch on the car ride home from the doctor!
But, as we were driving home I remembered that there was a place by my office that has THE MOST AMAZING popcorn in the world. I decided we deserved a treat! Its a sub shop, but right next to it is an old fashioned movie theater that only plays one movie at a time. You can buy your popcorn (and sandwiches as big as your head) and bring them to the movie.
The best combo ever: cheese popcorn with caramel corn. 1 ounce serving is 140 calories and 7 grams of fat, but so worth it!
So Brandi picked spinach as the BSI ingredient this week. Luckily I had spinach lasagna on the menu – only on half though because Tony doesn’t like it! It should be interesting. I didn’t really follow a recipe (yikes!). I added diced tomatoes to the remainder of my Italian Sunday Gravy and then pureed it all together for my sauce layer. Then it was a 15 ounce carton of fat free ricotta mixed with1/2 cup egg whites, Italian seasoning and minced garlic. The top is a combo of mozzarella and fresh shredded parmesan cheese.
I use no bake noodles which saves a ton of time. Then bake at 350 for 45 minutes. If the cheese isn’t browned, I usually pop it under the broiler for a few minutes.
All together before hitting the oven:
And Judy from Judy’s Kitchen bestowed two awards to me! Thanks Judy, that was so sweet!
I need to pass on the awards to deserving bloggers – check back later to see who I pick!
Off to clean up my mess from making lasagna – the finished pics will be up tonight!
Is that popcorn store in downtown Barrington. Great sandwiches and popcorn while you watch the movie.
The Catlow – is that the name? But can’t recall the name of the deli.
Aw congrats on the award! Am all over that popcorn.
OMG that popcorn lloks awesome…wow, now I’m going to rummage through the cupboard for something!
I hope Tony starts feeling better soon, I so love to eat those 2 combo’s together.
I have never had those 2 flavors of popcorn together. Sounds tasty.
Hope everything goes well with Tony’s knee.
Congrats on the awards!
Glad to hear everything is going well with Tony’s knee!!

You do deserve that treat! Sounds like things have been busy for you! I hope it calms down and you get a chance to relax! I love anything with spinach in it, and your lasagna looks especially tasty!
I’m hoping for the best!!
Hooray for BSI and for your award!! 🙂
We were thinking alike today… I was going to make the same exact thing!
Your popcorn looks awesome, I love mixing cheese and caramel. I used to take those popcorn tins and pull out the divider and shake it up!
Oooh it’s snack time. Bring on that popcorn!
