Summer Salads

Chinese Chicken Salads is one of my favorite Summer Dinners.  You can make a simple or deluxe version.  I love to add water chestnuts and crushed ramen noodles to my deluxe version.

Cupcakes for Easter.!

Okay...so it was Easter and I cheated.  But the lemon glaze cupcakes with Razberry Cream Cheese Frosting were totally worth it.  The Chocolate Sour Cream Cherry Cupcakes with Almond Cream Cheese Frosting were gone before I could take a picture.

Monday, I'll just continue with the Visalus Shake program.!!! Yum..

Lentil Salad

Made this wonderful Lentil Salad for dinner last night. Had dinner with some friends and wanted something a little different.  This is great made ahead and served chilled. 

Recipe:  1 cup lentils, boil til tender.  While still warm add dressing: 2 Tbs White Wine Vinegar, 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/3 cup olive oil .  Whisk dressing ingredients together. Add to warm lentils.  Then add fresh parsley, green  and red onions, cherry tomatoes cut in half.  Then chill.  I think cucumber would also be good  although I haven't tried it.

In addition to these wonderful salads, don't forget to get on the Visalus Shakes if you are wanting to lose weight.  My website is www.food4you.myvi.net. 

Tabouli Salad

Been craving this for a week.  Finally made it for Sunday Dinner side dish.  It was a little tricky finding tomatoes that would not disappoint. 

Dinner was Steak, Tabouli and Asparagas.  It was truely wonderful.

Still making progress on my weight loss.  I am much more successful if I remember to drink two glasses of water during the day in addition to my 2 shakes a day.

So Simple

This weight loss program is so simple.  It is 2 shakes a day, snacks if you need them, and if it doesn't work for you, the money is refundable...No risk....

So, here's what I don't get...told a friend 3 months ago about Visalus.  She tasted and loved the shakes.  1 week later she told me she went on weightwatchers.  Asked her 2 months later how she was doing and she said it was too hard for her personal lifestyle.   In the meantime...I was 12 pounds lighter...  she still hasn't tried the Visalus program.

I don't get it.??????  

So...Visalus shakes avg. $1.80 per shake....less than a value meal at McDonalds.....Less than a drink at Starbucks with a zillion more nutritional benefits...(okay, slight exageration)....

If it is time to start getting fit for summer, then GO now to my website and join the 90 day challenge.  Start at least with the shape kit, put it on autoship for 3 months, if it doesn't work for you for ANY reason  return the packages within 30 days and get a complete refund.

www.food4you.myvi.net   that's the website. 

Before I started the challenge, my exercise was trying to put on pantyhose.  I can't express adequately how wonderful it is to be in better shape.  Please do your family a favor, prolong your life by getting in shape.  DO it NOW!

Salads and personal preference

Last night we had a beautiful snowstorm.  It is almost Spring here, probably one of if not the last snowstorm of the winter, so it makes appreciating the snow that much easier. I am planning on having a belated St. Patrick's Day Dinner tonight...Corn Beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and probably some green cupcakes. That means I need to be really good today and stick to my shakes.  I'm planning ahead for tomorrow's dinner and think this salad looks good.  I will probably omit the chips, and tomatoes since they are out of season and have half the portion shown on this picture, but this is looking good to me.
Don't forget to check out the weightloss shake program on my website:  www.food4you.myvi.net.  Have a great day.
