One Workout Away from a Good Mood

I love a workout in the morning. Just a light workout after a 2 day cleanse. Down 4 lbs today of Valentine's sugar and celebration. Back on track with Tina's 18 day challenge and my isagenix lifestyle. I will never go back to how I used to eat, sleep, workout, feel, think, act, live! Scroll down on my blog to find out more - or contact me by posting or email. It will change your life.

Meat and Cheese Cucumber "Sandwiches"

Roast Beef & Cheese Cucumber "Sandwiches"

Slices of Cucumber 
Cold Cuts (I prefer low sodium Boar's Head brand)
Sliced Cheese

1 slice of cheese and meat makes about 4 "sandwiches" you can spear them with a jazzy food pick for parties. For ease of assembly the day of a party (great weight loss friendly appetizers) or for a quickly made lunch during the week pre-cut the cucumbers the night before and place in a Ziploc baggie in fridge.

What is in a Slim Fast Shake?

How does this shake differ from Slim Fast?

I got this question the other day. I knew Isagenix shakes were top notch nutrition and Slim Fast was loaded with chemicals and sugar, but I didn't have a label in front of me. Look what I found when I did a little research - What's in it? Slim Fast compared to a Hershey Bar - click on that link and be prepared to be amazed. Basically you could have a Hershey bar with a multi-vitamin to equal a Slim Fast Shake.

Italian Meatball Soup

Italian Meatball Soup

1 recipe of Italian Meatballs
1-2 T. olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
64 oz. lower sodium chicken broth
28 oz. can organic crushed tomatoes
1 T. Italian seasoning (I used parsley, oregano, basil, crushed red pepper, pepper)
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 c. small quinoa pasta (like macaroni)
2 c. spinach, thinly sliced

Make meatballs. In large pan, heat olive oil. Saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add broth, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Heat to boiling. Gently add the meatballs, carrots, pasta, and spinach. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked and carrots are tender. Eat before pasta gets mushy.

Italian Meatballs

1/2 lb. ground turkey
1/2 lb. chicken sausage (I get at Harmons)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. plain bread crumbs (can use panko bread crumbs)
2 T. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. parsley
1/4 c. dehydrated onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Gently combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Shape the meat mixture into meatballs. A cookie scoop works great. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 7-10 minutes or until the meatballs are becoming brown and fragrant. They will finish cooking when put in the soup.

I adapted this recipe from one my sister in law gave me that was published in the cookbook "Our Best Bites",
