This recipe for Vegetarian Greek Lentil Casserole from Kayln's Kitchen caught my eye because it had to things: Greek food and lentils. I love Greek food and as you probably guessed, I love lentils. This looks to me more like a side dish rather than a main one. I also decided to add ground turkey [...]
I saw Tabasco in the title of the recipe and I couldn't help but check it out. Yes, this recipe from Foodie Crush was sponsored by Tabasco for a challenge. That doesn't make it bad. Tabasco sauce is a hot sauce I love because it adds just the right amount of heat and flavor. I [...]
When I ran across the recipe for Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Tamale Chili, I stopped in my tracks. As someone who eats gluten free, tamales are WONDERFUL. In fact a lot of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes are gluten free. These restaurants are some of the few places I'm not stuck with a salad. Not that [...]
I was getting pretty worried about my progress last week. One of the things I typically do in the morning on the weekend is walk three miles per hour on the treadmill for 3000 steps. I couldn't handle it last weekend. I felt like my week was going to be very slow on improvement. However, [...]
I'm always looking for funky chili recipes. Don't get me wrong, I like a good standard chili. But chili can be downright interesting. I've made it with peanut butter and cinnamon. Squash is another ingredient I like to use in chili. It provides a sweetness that tastes amazing. When I found this recipe from Cookie [...]
If you want to know what recipe I repeat most often, it's lentils, rice and cheese. This recipe never lets me down. It's easy to make, hits your macros and is VERY filling for a low calorie count. I make this when I am not feeling creative, or in this case, not able to eat [...]
I've been getting better, slowly but surely. I'm now back to doing 10,000 steps (Slowly, not at my usual pace). I'm also doing some gentle yoga. Here's the routine if you ever need one: I keep lots of different yoga routines in a playlist on YouTube. Five Parks Yoga and Fightmaster Yoga are my two favorites. [...]
One thing that I don't do with my cooking, if you haven't noticed already, is cook with pasta. There are two reasons: I am gluten-free and the calories aren't worth it. Pasta, either gluten-free or not is about 200 calories per cup. No nutritional value. Luckily, Tony and I don't crave pasta at all. That's [...]
It looks like I won't be up to full strength for a while. The setback I am experiencing will take a month or more to heal. It's pretty discouraging since I now face a very low level of activity for an extended period. I don't want to gain weight while I'm resting. I know my [...]
Today I am not doing so well. I skipped my usual Monday workout. Today is the day I usually go balls out. I got winded yesterday vacuuming (I have a heavy Kirby vacuum which doesn't help). I got on the treadmill this morning and felt out of breath. Last weekend I fell into a deep [...]
