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 …
I, like millions of Americans will be getting back to basics when it comes to weight loss! The Holidays are over, and even though I wanted to do better, I didn’t always make the best choices. Kudos go to my sister Biz who lost weight …
It’s almost 1 p.m. and I’m still in my jammies, so the day is starting off slow to say the least! What are your plans for tonight? We just hang out at home. Our oldest is going to a friends house, so it will just …
I mentioned yesterday, that I got a new cookbook for Christmas. As I was reading through it, I saw a recipe for baked donuts. I’ve made several variations and I love lemon poppyseed, so I set out to make them. One problem, I don’t have …
In my basket of goodies from My brother’s family, I got a jar of artichoke pesto spread. I like the flavors, but not chunky artichokes, so I was happy when I opened it up that it was a smooth spread. You could use it on …
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. It always goes by so fast though! As I look ahead to the New Year, I can’t believe another year has flown by! My oldest son graduated from 8th grade and started high school, my daughter got her …
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 …
I’ve been making these for many years now, and its one of my favorite things to make during the holidays. The best part is all you need are 3 ingredients: graham crackers, peanut butter, and almond bark in chocolate flavor (a candy coating chocolate). One …
I didn’t do a full grocery shop last week, so I was faced with running to the store last Thursday to pick up dinner. And believe it or not, I did NOT feel like cooking! So, into the frozen food section I went. I ended …
This recipe actually comes from the Biggest Loser Cookbook. If you haven’t checked one of their cookbooks out, go to your library and I’m sure they will have a few. Then copy your favorite recipes and return the book! It was super easy to make …
Yet another version of macaroni and cheese! I’ve posted two macroni and cheese recipes before. The first one is your basic ham macaroni and cheese recipe and the second one was a stove top version from Cook’s Illustrated which is fantastic. So last night I …
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your kind wishes about my mother-in-law. It’s been a very long and emotional weekend to say the least! She was a wonderful woman and will be sorely missed! One of the women who attended her …
Last week I mentioned my Mother-in-Law was very sick and in fading. She passed away yesterday just shy of her 87th birthday. On the one hand, I am glad she isn’t suffering, but it doesn’t make it easier to think she won’t be around anymore. …
