Cook Yourself Thin

Last Week!!!

Lifetime Television Network is coming out with a new show called Cook Yourself Thin... I just saw the promo on it today. I'm really kind of excited about it. For some time now I've prescribed to the whole Volumetrics way of eating and this show seems to really incorporate those principals. From the promo, it looked like three girls who take recipes and reduce the amount of calories without changing the flavor. It looked like there might be some sort of judging? ... kind of cool! So it's like Paula Deen meets American Idol.... at a weight watcher's meeting. HA! It does look very good and informative and I can hardly wait! It comes on next week... I'll keep you posted!

Today!!!

So I am currently watching Lifetime's Cook Yourself Thin, and its not quite what I thought it was going to be in that there isn't any judging.... awe! But the show is wonderful!!! It started off with chocolate chip muffins that were around 800 calories being reduced to 200 calories!!! They looked wonderful!!! They then moved on to a chicken caesar salad and ended with spagetti and meatballs. I don't know what to say here.... you have GOT to see this show! Ok, sorry Paula Deen, this is my new favorite show!!!

I gotta run! They are airing another episode!

Past 7 Days....

Healthy Pizza

Welp... I'm on vacation. I alotted 3 days to be bad and eat whatever I want. Boy did I ever! Yuck! I feel nasty, and bloated and just generally "out of whack"! So today will be a light eating day. Oh how I wish I would have just gotten the supplies I needed to do The Master Cleanse ... Damage control: Healthy Pizza (it's what's for dinner! LOL!) 2 cloves garlic 1/4 C. of olive oil Blend until smooth in the Magic Bullet. Expect to have some left over to store for future pizzas. 2 Mission Carb Balance tortilla shells (I use 2 small, but you can use 1 large) Thinly sliced mushrooms Thinly chopped bell peppers (all colors) Diced onion Thinly sliced zucchini Diced Cabbage (any color) Non Fat Mozorella cheese Any other vegetable that you prefer sliced thin... make sure not to use veggies that are too wet, as that will keep the tortilla from crisping. And be sure that you don't overload the tortilla, or you might have a hard time picking it up to eat... remember... ...

The First One!!!

Ok folks... it is here! This is my first-ever design project for The Burtonesque Dolls ! Wow! What a fun design project it was too! This week's challenge over at The Burtonesque Dolls is to create an original project following Cheri's AWESOME sketch (click on the link for deets)! Yah, this one was a fun one. I took this opportunity to play around with the different stitch options available on my sewing machine... boy, did I really open her up!!! hahahahahaha! You can't really see because of the stitching, but I found the perfect Tim Holtz paper with the words "Cat" and "Girl", spicing it all up with the key and lock and I couldn't help but devote this one to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. I felt the "period" image ( Tickled Pink Stamps , 20's Evie) was the PERFECT image for this and I LOVED trying to age everything with the monochromatic Copic coloring. Yah, this one is definitely a favorite and it's only my first one! And ...
