OMG! I feel nourished!!!

Jun 12, 2010

So I didn't have any chewable vitamins at home after surgery and just went out and got some today.  I don't know if it was starting the vitanims or maybe the super yummy thicker then just plain broth soup I had tonight but I feel almost normal!

I pushed myself alot physically today.  I stopped pain meds yesterday and have been walking the block for 3 days but tomorrow I am supposed to take my 5 yo to a birthday party so I wanted to make sure I could drive.  Hubby came with me and I drove; we went to Costco and Raleys and I made it through!  I was definately exhausted, but I think I'll be able to make it through tomorrow. 

Monday I return to my volunteer position at the Y.  No baby holding over 20 lbs for me!  (That means I get to rock the newborns all day!  Yippie!

FYI- Creamy Brocolli Soup Recipe
1 Crown Brocolli
1  16 oz. Can Chicken Broth
1/2 c FF Half and Half

Boil brocolli in Chicken broth until tender.  Strain (retaining broth for soup), rinse w/ cold water to maintian bright green color. Add all ingredients to blender puree until smooth (for super smooth creamy consistancy you may need to puree once 2-3 mins, then seperate into 2 batches and puree each batch another 2-3 minutes).  Salt and pepper to taste, fortify with protein if desired.

You can make the same soup using asparagus or artichoke hearts... Yumm!
