Product Review


Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well.

A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard.

Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this, great to have in your cupboard. Next time I'm going to use it to grill out kebobs, mmmm.

There are a bunch of other simmer sauces from this line too and I can't WAIT to try more!! Which one should I try next? Madras? Probably too spicy for me, but maybe I'll try it (should have when I was preggo with Eli and he made me love all things spicy!) I'm leaning towards Korma, coconut curry sauce-I'm a big fan of coconut lately! OH but Jalfrezi is coconut too, just a bit spicier, hmm.

    I love quinoa, too. It's so yummy as a cold salad, with red onion, green onion, red peppers, fresh parsley, chick peas and a red wine vinegar and olive oil sauce.

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.

Weight Loss Challenge: Going Out To Eat

One thing that can be really challenging when you are in weight loss mode is going out to eat. When Keith and I lost almost 300lbs combined about 13 years ago, one thing that we were soooo strict about was eating out, and it really made so much of a difference. We did have a few places that were ok for an emergency, but overall we did not go out to eat for almost a year. The hard things about going out to eat in weight loss mode are this: When one eats out, you want to get the MOST value for your dollar. In weight loss mode, you want LESS portion (or more veggies to volumize) and quality food costs $$. I can make better things to stay on plan at home, so eating out doesn't have a lot of allure bc of that. Also usually when you are doing a weight loss plan, you are investing in it in SOME way. Whether that's a program for support, or certain/specific foods to stay on plan, etc. So if you don't go out to eat, you are saving money and able to put it towards things that help
