Favorite Banana Bread

This is my tried and true go to recipe for just about anything. It's versatile, quick and GOOD. I usually make it into muffins, I'm not a loaf kind girl ;)

Quick Banana Nut Bread

1/3cups mashed very ripe bananas (2 large)
2/3cup sugar
1/4cup milk
3tablespoons oil
1/2teaspoon vanilla
3eggs
2 2/3cups baking mix
1/2cup chopped nuts

Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom of 9x5x3-inch loaf pan or I use muffin cups.
.Stir bananas, sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in baking mix and nuts. *i usually add some chocolate chips at this point LOL* Pour into pan.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 day.

***less baking time for muffins of course, ~15min at most, watch them after 10min I'd say.

Jen's Before and Current

About halfway thru R1 (Phase 1) with my Restoration Wellness plan. Down 17lbs, which is crazy. I don't think I've ever lost more than 10lbs a month before, even when I was over 300lbs and ultimately lost 150lbs. It required a lot of thinking, planning, measuring, weighing, thinking about food all the time and being at the gym EVERY day. This is so much easier. I do want to get back in the gym, but on my time for my own wellness, not as simply a weight loss tool. But because I enjoy moving my body and being active. Completely different mindsets. My pics yet aren't as dramatic as Keith's, even though I've lost a few pounds more than him. But that's ok, enjoying the journey and progress not perfen and all that :) Starting Weight 262.4 Current Weight 245.4 (3 weeks progress)

Chicken Wing Dip

Seems like there's many varieties and ways to make this-this is what I do, and Keith loves it-I think it's pretty good too, but I can only eat so much of it, it's kinda greasy and I don't know...good but I like it in a buffet eating it with a LOT of other stuff, not as a main course or anything. Keith disagrees :) Thanks to BETH for introducing us to this magical dip LOL Chicken Wing Dip 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup wing sauce of your choice (we use Frank's) 1 cup bleu cheese 2 cups diced cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese preheat the oven to 350 In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sauce until well blended. Mix in the bleu cheese, chicken and Cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips.

Week 2!

Week 2 Progress Pics and info from my Restoration Wellness journey. Weight has gone from 262.4 to 249.9 in 2 weeks!!! That's 12.8lbs in 2 weeks, woohoo! In other body changes- My BMI (which is dumb but whatever its another tool) went from 44.9 to 43.1 My Body Fat Percentage went from 53.2% to 48.1% My Body Fat Mass went from 139lbs to 120.8lbs And prob the biggest success is that my viseceral fat went from 17 layers down to 14 layers, which is 3 layers of visceral fat GONE and that's the WORST fat and DANGEROUS fat, so that's freaking AMAZING and huge and shows that I am 1000% in fat burning mode, let's go!! Burning my own fat for energy!!! It's always really hard for me to see changes in pictures, but committing to being present in this journey and not waiting til "the end" or I'm last embarrassed by how much weight I gained back or how fat and whatever I feel.
