~~posted by Jen Today’s feature for Leftovers Week is turkey. We probably all still have some hanging around. My boys and I loved the Gobble It Down Pizza so much on Sunday that I made it again last night. You can substitute leftover chicken breast for the turkey and it’s just as yummy. Later today I’ll share the BF Basics of …

~~posted by Jen So y’all know I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately with the Yoplait Frozen Smoothies, but those things get expensive after awhile! The cheapest I’ve found them is $2.79 and the bag only makes 2 smoothies. They ARE delicious and easy, and I’ll still keep a couple bags on hand for “shake emergencies” when I’m in a hurry, …

 Leftovers Week!!! Woo-HOO! What…you’re not excited? I understand. Normally, leftovers don’t excite me either, but wait until you see everything Jen and I have in store. So far, Jen has shared her delicious “Gobble it Down” Thanksgiving pizza. Have you tried it yet? If not, give it a whirl! My first offering from leftover week comes with a shout-out. …

~~posted by Jen By the Sunday after Thanksgiving, your family is probably moaning and groaning about still having to eat turkey sandwiches (mine already is) so you need to use up all that food but make it look and taste different, right? That’s where we come in with Leftovers Week. Starting tomorrow, Nik and I will share two recipes with …

~~posted by Jen I saw these last week at Wal-Mart and decided to pick some up and give them a try. Since most of us have a hard time tolerating bread unless it’s very thin (like the Arnold Sandwich Thins or Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Bread) this looked like it might work well for WLS post-ops. It absolutely does! I …

~~posted by Jen Well it’s Black Friday weekend and everyone is rushing around like maniacs, fighting the crowds to find bargains, eating Thanksgiving leftovers, and starting the holiday frenzy of decorating and entertaining. You probably bought a few gifts yesterday, I’m guessing? But for everyone else BUT yourself, am I right? I thought so! That’s why our first Holiday Gift …

~~posted by Jen Our Poucher Pal Kris H.was chatting with me on Facebook the other night while enjoying Nik’s Thin Mint Hot Protein drink, and mentioned she’d love to have a “Samoa” version. I told her then that Nik is the Queen of Protein Drinks, as y’all know, and I’d be willing to bet she had one or could come …

~~posted by Jen Call it dessert, call it breakfast, I just call it SCRUMPTIOUS! Happy Black Friday! For those of you who were up and waiting in line at 3 am, bless your hearts! I might be awake at 3 am, but there is NO WAY IN HELL I am getting out of my warm bed to brave the cold, …

I don’t even know where to begin counting my blessings, they are so abundant. I am thankful for reasonably good health, this has been a challenging year but I think everything is finally figured out and under control. At least it seems that way for the time being. I’m looking forward to going back to work in December and thankful …

Usually, I’m not into compilation lists of thankfulness. Mostly because I try to give thanks every day. But Thanksgiving is an opportunity to reflect on the bigger picture and I am learning to embrace that (or just get over myself). I thought I’d share with you just a few things I am thankful for this year. And this is me…so …
