This is the first year that Ryan and I have made it through a holiday weekend, without the main focus being food! We truly are living the habits of health. We don't have to stop ourselves from not eating the candy/cake etc.. It just comes naturally now :) And if you know me well, I have just about the worst sweet tooth out there, so for me to be able to do this, really, anyone can!! It was nice to have so much more time to just enjoy ourselves, and have fun with Gunnar, and our family, and not be mindlessly munching on snacks :) And just for fun here is a glimpse of the fun we had this weekend.
Ok, on to some recipes-
I got this recipe from another lean and green site out there, and tweeked it a little. I love tuna fish, so I thought I would give this a try, and why not get rid of some of the hard boiled eggs we have around here.
Tuna Melt
Mix together:
Mix together:
2 cans water packed and drained tuna
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
2 Tbsp light mayo
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
2 diced dill pickle spears
1/8 tsp black pepper
dash of sea salt
Divide mixture in half. Place each half in a mound on a Pam sprayed cookie sheet and top each with one slice of low fat Swiss cheese. Bake at 350 until the cheese is nicely melted.
Makes 2 servings. Each serving equals one "Lean" Medifast portion plus 1 Fat and about 2 condiments. We havd ours with a green salad, it was tasty!

Chocolate Cookies

1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons sugar-free Cookie Dough Syrup
1/8 cup cold water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl. When mixed add the wet ingredients to the dry. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Place balls of dough onto a non-stick tray. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack when finished cooking. 2 servings.
These were delish.. Even Gunnar loved them :)
Now that we're past easter, summer time seems just around the corner. There's still plenty of time to lose some weight and be on the path to optimal heath before then. Talk to Ryan or I soon and we'll help you get there!
