Can you ladies give me some ideas on what I can make for an employee luncheon for approximately 10 people? It's gotta be something that I can make the night before and we can either A. heat it up in a tiny little microwave, or B. eat it room temperature or cold. We always Celebrate everyones birthday by going out for a lavish lunch but the company is kinda strapped for cash right now so we don't we'd rather just cook something and bring it in. Any ideas?

grilled chicken ceasar salads?

...that's all I've got right now... will continue to think about it...

Haydee - I have a salad recipe that is ALWAYS huge hit...and you can add roasted chicken or deli turkey chunks to it for an entree. It's got romaine, boston lettuce, roasted pecans, mont. jack cheese, and sliced strawberries with a sweet vinaigrette dressing. I make the dressing with Splenda and nobody ever notices. DELISH!

Honey Baked Ham and Potato Salad?

Haydee- When we do company potlucks, a lot of us make something (anything) in a crockpot at home, transfer it to the company and just plug it back into the wall to reheat. Good way to travel with full meals.

With that in mind, you could make Pasta noodles ahead of time, and bring in some sort of homemade sauce w/meat in it, in the crockpot. Mac&cheese&meat in the crockpot like a pie.. (thinking of things people have done here).. A big hearty Soup if it's getting chilly there (or chili).

And as for side affects of anti-anxiety.. for me, it does kill my libido, but it's not an ongoing thing.. only when you're actually on them.. but you shouldn't take them everyday anyway. So say you had a bad day, take xanax, for the 6ish hours it is affecting you, you won't want sex.

Wanting to eat veggies.. uhm.. never experienced that one. But think that, and maybe it'll happen as a placebo affect :)

I just got back from shopping with the CFO, we had to get new supplies for new employees.. was a headache. I am starving now. FOOOOD.. must.. find.. oo Russell coming down the hall, I bet we going to lunch!!

I've done Soups and chili before in the crock pots and it's always a big hit. But it's not cold enough here right now for that. Terry the salad sounds good. Anything with meat in it they will eat up. I've made meatless salads before and everyone just stares at them like I'm serving them dead insects, LOL. Michelle, how hard are quiches to make? I can serve Terry's salad with a piece of quiche on the side?

Haydee: BBQ beef in a crock pot, cooked overnight and then shredded with BBQ Sauce the day of.

Take the crock pot to work like laura said and then turn it on low with more BBQ sauce

Buns, chips, Salads, whalaaaaa easy guy meal, Tray of Cookies,

Also other crockpot work ideas

Little smokies, or meat balls (in bbq sauce) or even spaghettie sauce.

Nacho Dip...........

Can you tell we use my crock pot for EVERYTHING!

Hell you could even cook a Roast with some potatoes in the dang thing.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
