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.

  2. 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.

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.
