Skillet Lasagna

Another WW recipe, one of my fave things to eat EVER, I make it all the time.

Skillet Lasagna

lb ground meat (i use only ground turkey)
1 small onion chopped (i really use a couple onions b/c i am an onion whore :D )
3 cloves of garlic, minced (i use the minced jarred garlic b/c i’m lazy like that)
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained (i usually use the 28oz big can)
1 1/4C water
8oz tomato/pasta sauce ( i tend to put a bit more in, b/c i use extra veggies etc)
1T parsley
1t basil
1t oregano
1t salt
2 1/2C whole wheat pasta (i use whatever i have-usually a mix of penne and the curly kind LMAO)
1C FF ricotta (but if you aren’t doing weight loss, feel free to use regular ricotta LOL)
1/4C parm cheese
dash of basil and pepper (optional)
1 egg
shredded mozzarella

1) in large skillet, brown meat with onions and garlic, drain if you need to

2)add diced tomatoes, water, pasta sauce, parsley, basil, oregano and salt

3)stir in uncooked pasta

4)bring to a boil, stir occasionally.

5)reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until pasta is done

6)combine ricotta and parm cheese

7)sprinkle in basil and pepper to taste

8)drop cheese mix by rounded T onto pasta mix.
****i do not “drop”, i just mix it into the pasta.
****i also do not use the egg, you can mix it into the ricotta cheese mix, but i don’t like that idea, so i never do it LOL

9)cover and cook for 5min more

10)sprinkle with mozz cheese and serve. i personally just mix a bunch of mozz in b/c i love cheese :D

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
