I got this free notebook from a charity and Grandson C got to it a few weeks ago.  Notice the chew marks?

Roasted Lupini

 

I had a jar of lupini beans and decided to roast some. 

I rinsed 2 cups of jarred lupini beans and dried them out on towels.  Then I roasted them on a tray lined with parchment after seasoning with olive oil, pepper, paprika, lemon juice and oregano.  I roasted them at 400F for 40 minutes.  I let them rest in to oven for another 30 minutes after it was turned off.

 It made a crunchy snack.

Breaded Chicken Breast Sandwiches and colonoscopy

 

I toasted these breaded chicken breast sandwiches in the air fryer and they were so good. I put a slice of swiss cheese and spinach leaves in them after spreading mayonnaise on the bread slices.

I did a routine colonoscopy May 28th, my last one was in 2018 I believe. Purg-Odan was the name of the prescription laxative I was tokd to take. No polyps were found but there is some diverticulitis in one area.  The doctor said to eat more fibre, which I do.  My daughter takes Fibre 4 which is like a tasteless Metamucil she says.  I think I will start taking that daily. It can only help. My next colonoscopy is recommended in 10 years.

Lupini Beans

 

Daughter L's friend introduced her to these lupini beans from Walmart. She says they are a crunchy delicious snack.  They are brined so she rinses them a bit and eats them as a snack.  She gave us this jar to try.  I found them a bit too crunchy but maybe I can use them in recipes.
