Weigh In Wednesday (March 3rd, 2011)

Yeah, I'm a day late, but I wanted to post Jarrod and I's Wednesday Weigh In Results!

Jarrod lost 4.6 lbs this week and I lost 4.4 lbs this week!!!!  WOOHOO!  Total weight loss for me has finally gone past the 50's and total weight loss is now 60 lbs!  :)  So happy.  I have 9.6 more lbs to meet my March goal of 14 lbs lost in March. 

Yesterday I overdid the calories when I went out with my friend for Thai and *cough* cold stone *cough* creamery *cough*...  But I had to bring her to the airport early this morning and put in 90 minutes at the gym... so I think I made up for it! 

I've been a pretty lazy cook this week...  Sunday I made cabbage rolls which came out really good, and made a sloppy joe sauce out of the leftover sauce and meat/rice filling... so Monday we had sloppy joes, Tuesday I made seafood salad sandwiches for dinner, Wednesday I went out, and tonight I made veggie burgers (the pizza kind- yum!)...  So no new recipes to post, since I forgot to take pictures of the cabbage rolls and want to work on that recipe a little before I share with you all..  it needed a little more flavor... and I'm not sure what I need to add yet.  Something for you guys to look forward to, other than my fabulous weigh in results! ;)

I went to the doctor's today because my eye hurt and it was puffy underneath... my coworker had cellulitis in her eye and said it was contagious, so I was a bit freaked out.  The doctor said that it looked like I didn't have an infection and I probably irritated it... might be my make up... so I had an excuse to go buy some new eye shadow today! ;)  Hopefully it gets better tonight after I rest it sleeping.  I am pretty exhausted today, didn't sleep well last night because I was worried I wouldn't wake up in time to bring my friend to the airport.  My alarm was set for 4:30am.  And of course, my husband had his alarm set for his normal 4am... which means 2 hours of snoozing for him, normally I sleep right through it, but I heard every beep this morning before my 4:30 buzzer.  I wish my shows (Greys and Private Practice) were on tonight, but it might be good if I actually get to bed early.

Stuffed Mushrooms and Grape Salad

January 16th, 2010 Today we celebrated Christmas on Jarrod's side of the family... Jarrod's mom, Ginny, asked that I make my stuffed mushrooms and grape salad. So in knowing that most of the ingredients in both of these recipes were pretty high in calories, I did my best to make a few substitutions to make them healthier. I have added the recipes below. Stuffed Mushrooms 1 lb Turkey Sausage (casings removed) 1 Red Pepper 1 White Onion 2 cups fresh Spinach 1/2 cup Parmesan 3/4 cup Italian Bread Crumbs (I like Progresso) 6 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar 1-2 Tbsp Vodka Salt and Pepper Mushrooms (probably about 24) Clean mushrooms, and remove stems. Save stems to cut up and add to Sausage Stuffing in a few minutes. Cut the top of the mushroom so it will lay flat on a baking sheet. Line mushrooms on a greased baking sheet. Preheat Skillet. Add Turkey Sausage (casings removed), chopped white onion, and chopped red pepper. Cook until Sausage is browned. Drain if any liquid.

Laptop is back up and running...

I need to stop taking these long breaks from my Blog!  Ok, so this long stint away from my blog was not entirely my fault.  Our laptop had been acting funny for a little while and then got completely taken over by a virus.  Luckily, my cousin got it running again and it seems to be doing just fine.  Therefore some of the pictures of yummy food did not make it up on this blog.  Plus you got to skip my last few weeks of weigh ins... I didn't lose any weight the week before last, and last week I gained a little over a pound.  Time to get back to it!  I set a goal for March of losing 14 pounds.  Not sure if I can do it, but worth a shot!  :)  First off, I'd like to share a picture of some of the beautiful Gerbera daisies that my hubby got me for Valentine's Day, aren't they beautiful!  I'm such a lucky girl! Speaking of my hubby, here's a picture of him in the new Superman shirt I got him for Valentine's Day before our night out at Frog and Turtle!  Yum!

Pork Stir Fry with Brown Rice

Image
Today I actually took out the camera while cooking dinner so that I could post some pictures on my blog of the meal I was making.  Tonight I made Pork Stir Fry with Brown Rice.  Recipe Below... 3 cups brown rice (rice cooker measuring cup which is smaller than a regular cup) w/ 4.5 rice cooker cups of water and a tsp of chicken bouilon paste. 4 boneless pork chops cut into cubes 1/4 cup of stir fry sauce 2 bags of Frozen Stir Fry Veggies 1/2 bag of Frozen Corn I first started the rice in the rice cooker.  May I just say that I used to HATE cooking rice, I always messed it up on the stovetop... however, rice in the rice cooker is fool proof.  It's so easy, set it and forget it!  And Brown Rice is pretty good for you.  :)  I decided to add some of the chicken bouilon to give the rice a little flavor, you could also have added chicken broth instead of water to the rice cooker for flavor.  The book that the rice cooker comes with mentions adding olive oil... but I didn't wa
