Grocery List - Diet Week and soup Sunday

I've been doing good this week. I started out Monday January 2nd. For breakfast I have fruit or a cup of oatmeal, lunch fruit and 1/2 turkey sandwich; with just turkey, lettuce and a little mustard. I've also, been trying to drink lots of water. I've just lost a couple of pounds, but that's a start. Plus, I've come down with pneumonia, on meds and thank goodness, I had already cooked up this next weeks food. I might have to throw in a non-diet surprise. Natalie is still on her college break and has been the best nurse; plus has been cooking for me. What a delight that has been.

I hope you enjoy this weeks recipes, let me tell you I was so ready for the potato soup.
