Sharing my favorite healthy recipes!
One thing that’s hard when you are trying to lose weight, is wishing time would go by faster. On January 3rd, I started Day One and I’m already on 12! This time around I’m just taking it day to day. Since January 3rd, I’ve entered …
I attempted to make this sauce in the fall. I thought how nice would it be to make pasta sauce in the crock pot, simmering all day, how wonderful it would taste. All I would have to do is just make the pasta when I …
I’ve actually never made any kind of souffle before, but over the weekend when I went to a luncheon with my Mom, the buffet had one and even though I didn’t put some on my plate, I tasted some off my Moms plate. I loved …
Biggest Loser Recap! I thought it was a really good show tonight, at some point I thought I would need a tissue! I think the highlight of the show was Arthur (the biggest contestant ever on BL) dancing on the scale after losing 13 pounds …
Another successful day on my healthy weight loss journey. It’s day 8 already and I did really great eating wise. One thing that I am totally avoiding is food at work. On any given day there are donuts, muffins, candy, etc… and I’ve been able …
So, my first week of getting back on track and I did way better than I thought I would. I used www.myfitnesspal.com to track all my foods and exercise in. So are you ready? -5.6 pounds! What did I do? *Planned my foods in advance …
My HEALTHIER version of Denny’s All American breakfast slam. Just as good, but way less calories and fat!
Before I share my creamy macaroni and cheese recipe (which I believe will become a regular in your dinner rotations), I wanted to answer some questions about the exercises I am doing. I can’t believe the weekend is almost here! The week went by so …
Sometimes when I go to the store, I don’t actually have a plan of what to make, I just get stuff and will figure it out later. I bought 3 packages of boneless chicken breasts, and I was thinking about what to make, when I …
Did anyone watch the new Biggest Loser last night? I thought it was a good one. I didn’t start watching it until late, so I fast forwarded through the workouts, but I like these contestants. There are a few of them who are my favorite …
I had a great day yesterday food wise! I planned what I was eating for breakfast and lunch and snacks. I wasn’t hungry at all and….are you ready? I actually broke out a work out CD – Billy Blanks Taebo! I had to start with …
Christmas Cards Graphics I just wanted to take this time to thank all the people who come visit my blog and leave me comments! I wish you and your families the Best Holiday ever! I am taking the rest of the week of from blogging …
My friends at Sargento would like 4 people to get coupons to try their cheese. One thing people think of when they are trying to lose weight, is to cut out real cheese by using fake cheese, or fat free cheese. I hate cheeses that …
I got home from work yesterday and had 3 boxes waiting for me. I knew what one was because my sister Biz told me already: Yippee!! Harry and David pears! As you can see, one has already been consumed. Then next 2 boxes? My friends …
These were the muffins I pictured yesterday and I promised to post the recipe today, so here it is. I used a lot of the new different kinds of flours I bought yesterday and came up with a really tasty healthy muffin! 1/2 cup all …
On Sunday I took one of my sons to get new gym shoes, because his pair from the beginning of the year were torn, and tattered and falling apart! We went to a strip mall and as we were walking back to the car, I …
This is my favorite cookbook. It was made by members of my Mom’s side of the family back in 1997. My Aunt Martha spearheaded the whole thing asking members of the family to send their favorite recipes and she retyped them, made copies, and bound …
Yesterday at work I decided to get a muffin at Great Harvest Bread by my office. I was trying to choose a healthy version…they had a Muffin that had cranberries, bits of carrot and it was just out of the oven. It smelled so good! …
I got a new camera for my birthday!! A Sony Cyber shot! A much better upgrade from my digital camera that was about 7 years old and had only 2 mega pixels! So, I took a few pictures at work. The flower is out front …
I’m off work today, with a big to-do list, so I thought I would try a smoothie with my POM Wonderful pomegranate juice. I did my grocery shopping this week at ALDI. In their freezer section they usually have different kinds of frozen fruits, and …
Diana from Pom Wonderful was nice enough to send me a free case of Pom Wonderful to try. Of course I said Yes! My kids were very excited! I’m pretty sure they have never had it before and all three of them loved it! Here are some …
Last weekend while watching the Food TV network, I saw Giada make a super simple soup. She called it Straciatella…or Italian egg drop soup. She literally made this in a matter of minutes, so I thought it would be a good idea to make and …
I never get tired of this dinner. My Mom made it growing up and I make it for my family a couple times a month. The combo of the noodles, the sauce, its amazing. The best part is I vary it all the time. I …
A few weeks ago, my Mom attempted to make bread from my sister’s site. It didn’t rise very well, the texture wasn’t right. Turned out my mom used a little too much flour. Fast forward to today, where a few minutes ago, we got an …
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Originally uploaded by Slim-Shoppin I’m off work today, so you know pretty much my first order of business was to make something! I adapted this recipe from Fitness Magazine. The original recipe called for pumpkin/date muffins. But, I didn’t have any …
