I Know, I Know!!

I'm sure you're all dying to see the recipe of the day. But I just realized it's 9:30 in the morning, I haven't showered, have a lunch meeting at noon, have errands still left to run, and haven't done my workout yet today!!

Love it.

I'll post it later, but in the meantime, I have many people write and tell me they wish I would write more about myself. As you know my husband has Type 1 diabetes and has since he was 4 years old. We have the blog, http://www.diabeticparents.org/ as a resource for families like ourselves living with diabetes and raising families. If you want to get to know my forgetful side better, click here to be connected to today's article where I talk about my record of forgetting my wedding anniversary 9 years in a row! (No joke. I forgot it was our anniversary AGAIN last night).

So grateful for a great husband. However, he thinks he's the lucky one. I'll never be able to blaim him if he forgets a holiday!!

10 in 10: Week 3

Time again for my 10 in 10 update. I have to say that eating wise I've done incredible this week. No problems, no concerns. (Girl's night out I saved my calories for a blonde brownie at Applebee's which was sadly devoured by me not leaving much to share). Please don't share how many calories it had with me.

Using a lot more TVP mixed in with my beef recipes. Can't quite seem to get rid of beef entirely because the husband notices and starts throwing a fit about it. My man seems to like his beef and is very passionate about not substituting alternatives for beef.

Exercise has come in the non-traditional workout form this week. My free time....there has been no free time. It's been maddening. I'm really getting tired of the yo-yo workouts. One week I'm good, the next I'm not. I have a hard time exercising in the morning because our house is small, and I tend to wake up everyone in the house--way too early. The treadmill is right below my daughter's room, so that is exed too for AM workouts.

During the day is spent working, shuttling kids, and running around. Afternoons have been my easiest workouts. The kids come home and get 1/2 hour TV time, so I steal away for my half an hour workout. Only this week hasn't been so easy. With the good weather they want to play outside, have friends over, and my workouts have been bumped to evening.

Which also doesn't work because two nights this week I taught classes, one night this week was girl's night out, and the other two nights were spent helping my husband with work projects.

Any suggestions on setting a consistent exercise routine. Most people suggest "just do it" but that doesn't always work on an irregular schedule that sadly I don't always get a memo for. The kids throw so many daily loopholes that it's hard.

Monday Mayhem!

Cranberry Almond Salad

The cooking class is over, and it was a success. It's the first cooking class I've done in awhile, and it was definetely one of the larger crowds I've had. Definetely preparing me for cooking on Good Things Utah in a few weeks! A lot of great recipes--all simple. A weeknight's worth of meals came in at only $50 for a family of four so it was also a great deal! We also tried a taco meal recipe with TVP--textured vegetable protein. This great meat substitute is made from soy flour and is fat free, and packed with protein and other great vitamins. A little goes a long way. At $3 a bag, it's way more affordable than regular meat. Look for our TVP recipe at the end of this article!

CRANBERRY ALMOND SALAD

This delicious recipe is one that is packed full of good stuff, and has just enough sweetness to it that the kids will love eating it. I presented this one at my cooking class last night and it was well received. Try it out for yourself!!


1 bag spinach lettuce (or one head spinach lettuce, torn into pieces)
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup cranberries (dried or fresh okay)
1 cup shredded reduced fat Swiss cheese
Reduced fat creamy poppy seed dressing (I used Brianna's all natural creamy poppyseed)*

Place lettuce in a bowl or on a salad plate. Sprinkle almonds, cranberries, cheese and dressing on top to taste. If serving as a meal, put chicken slices on top and serve with a whole wheat roll.

*Can use other dressings if desired.
TVP TACO MEAT
 
1/2 cup TVP flakes (found at health food stores)
2 cups water
2 tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos (can substitute soy sauce if desired)
1 packet Taco Seasoning
 
In a pan, place 1/2 cup TVP flakes, 2 cups of water and Bragg's Liquid Aminos. Turn heat to low-med and cook until water is mostly absorbed. (About 30 minutes). Stir occasionally. When water is mostly absorbed, add packet of taco seasoning. Stir until well incorporated, and continue to cook an additional 5-10 minutes until rest of water is absorbed. Remove from heat, serve by spooning meat into taco shells or serving over tortilla chips.

The 10 in 10 Challenge: Week 2


Last week, I tackled the issue of food. My eating has been largely under control for the past two weeks. (Minus the trip to The Chocolate a few nights ago). One of my goals is to eat more fruits and vegetables, and I've done a great job introducing some new vegetables to the kids this week. They hated spaghetti squash, but actually loved spinach. They thought it tasted better than head lettuce or romaine lettuce. That's a plus!
My kids love carrots, and I used this dip recipe from Super Healthy Kids. They loved it!

My exercise has been great this week. Up where I live, the weather has been mild, so I've been able to walk the dog while picking up the kids from school, than have them walk home with me. They like to run on the treadmill which is a great workout for them. I've done Billy Blanks Cardio Tae Bo workout this week, ran on the treadmill, ran with the dog outside, and done my Women's Health and Self Magazine workouts. Since I was not feeling well last week, I've tried to tone down the workouts to 30 minutes each. Next week, I'll increase it to 45 minutes to an hour everyday. I love reading everyone's 10 in 10 posts and hope everyone continues to stay motivated!

Lemon Yogurt Muffins

Every Sunday at our house we enjoy a break from the traditional cold cereal or hot oatmeal and stop to enjoy a delicious breakfast together as a family. It's been a tradition since I was a little girl. (Although we usually opted for Dey's doughnuts down the street from my house in California). Yes, my parents were vegetarian and vegan to a point. Sunday mornings included a break to enjoy breakfast at Mother's Market, a slightly rebellious trip to enjoy the Marie Calendar's breakfast buffet, or if they really wanted, it was a trip to Dey's. (You could smell them cooking from our house).

I like to try new recipes, and this one honestly was a throw together. I had a lemon leftover and didn't know what to do with it. My solution? Make lemon yogurt muffins with it of course!



LEMON YOGURT MUFFINS

Muffins:

Ingredients


1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 cups unbleached white flour (I used King Arthur)

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup sour cream (I used fat-free)

1/4 cup lemon juice (I used fresh lemon juice, but storebought would be fine)

1 lemon, juice and zest of

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Grease muffin tins.

Melt the butter and let cool.

Thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Whisk together the eggs and sour cream in a smaller bowl.

Stir in the butter, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and zest and juice of lemon.

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.

Add wet ingredients and mix with as few strokes as possible.

Don't overmix.

Spoon batter into muffin tins.

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes.

Icing:

1 cup lemon yogurt (I used fat free)

1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar (I used Hain's Organic Powdered Sugar)

Mix together until smooth, pipe over cooled muffins.

Review, "Looking Younger, Living Longer"


Last night I had the opportunity of listening to Mary Roberts Smith, author of "Looking Younger, Living Longer." She largely spoke on the vitamin industry, touching slightly on herbs and their benefits.

She mentioned that only 2% of vitamins are inspected before coming into the US and 6 major vitamin companies import directly from China. She talked about the makeup of many vitamins and the chemicals that make up our vitamin products. She urged that information needs to be more readily available on synthetic vitamins.

She then talked about the benefits of herbs. Cayenne pepper to stop bleeding, garlic as a blood pressure and blood glucose regulator, aloe vera as a pain killer, natural antibiotic and burn relief.

She also touched on the benefits of probiotics and antioxidants.
