Yay!!! No weight gain this week! It is a monumental moment to say the least. 😉 Am I going to ruin this with my son’s 1st birthday party this week and eating chocolate cake? possibly! haha We can pray I don’t though, right?
I have to take a moment and ask if you even like me updating my weekly weight gain (sigh…instead of loss) or if you just want me to pick back up after I have the baby and start to lose the weight again? If you want me to continue, what types of things do you want to see on Weigh Me Wednesday? I think everyone likes the recipes, but is there anything else?
This week’s recipe is Stuffing. yum!
Stuffing
Ingredients:
1 spray(s) cooking spray
12 slice(s) whole-wheat bread, cubed*
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp light butter
1 cup(s) onion(s), diced
3 medium stalk(s) celery, diced
2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 cup(s) canned chicken broth
2 Tbsp chives, fresh, chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 4-quart shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
Arrange bread cubes on a large ungreased baking sheet in a single layer (use 2 baking sheets if there’s not enough room). Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bread from oven and set aside; leave oven set to 350ºF.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and butter together for 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion and celery; sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add thyme, sage, salt and pepper; stir to coat. Cook until herbs are fragrant, about 1 minute.
Transfer onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add bread, broth and chives; toss to combine. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish and cover with foil; bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Divide into 8 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.
*Leave the bread bag open and somewhat uncovered for 1 to 2 days (at room temperature) before making the recipe.

I like hearing about your weight gain success ups/downs. We have all been there and it is encouraging. I feel like your cheerleader and like to see how you are doing. It would be cool if you continue weight loss again as well. This is something that is important to you, and as your reader, I like to see how you are doing! Good luck!
