Have you ever felt like this?

Have you ever wanted a "TREAT" so bad...that you would do almost anything to get it?  Yeah, me too!  I used to be such a junk food junkie!  I was ALWAYS craving sweet treats and snacks.  That was until I joined a fitness support group.  kinda like chocoholic's anonymous. I haven't given up sweets althogether...BUT with my daily Shakeology I have very few cravings and I feel great!

Yummy Zucchini bites!

Are you wondering what to do with all the zucchini that you're getting from your garden?  These little babies were SO GOOD! 
I made them tonight for a side with dinner. 
The only problem was, there weren't enough.  So what did I do?  I tripled the recipe.  :)  Enjoy.


Zucchini Bites
----------------
1 cup zucchini (shredded)
1 egg
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400* spray a muffin tin with non stick spray, set aside.
2. Grate the zucchini and then place it in a dish towel and squeeze out the excess water. Do not skip this step!
3. In a bowl combine the zucchini, cheese, egg, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper.
4. Using a spoon fill the muffin tins to the top. Cook for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Recipe: Cheesy Cauliflower Tot

Ingredients
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 2 Tbl fat free half-n-half
  • 2 Tbl butter
  • 1/3 cup shredded lowfat cheddar cheese
  • 4 egg whites
  • salt & pepper
  • oil for frying (Optional – Read below)

Instructions

  1. Clean and trim the cauliflower, adding the florets to a microwave safe bowl.
  2. Add the cream and butter to the bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cauliflower and cheese to a food processor and blend until still chunky; to a consistancy similar to oatmeal. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Chill for at least half an hour.
  5. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cauliflower mixture to lighten it up. Then fold the cauliflower mixture into the rest of the egg whites and gently mix until combined. For best results, chill for another half hour or they won’t hold their shape as well when placing them on the baking sheet.
  6. Fit a pastry bag with a round or star tube with about a 3/4 inch opening. Spray the inside of the bag with nonstick spray. Load mixture into pastry bag.
  7. Gently squeeze out 1 inch sections onto a greased cookie sheet, cutting with a butter knife as you go.
  8. When finished, bake in a 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes (*-double if you are not pan frying) until puffed and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve – or heat 1/4 inch of oil in a saute pan and when it’s very hot add the tots. Around 1 minute per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve immediately, as they tend to lose their crispyness the longer they sit.

IT"S YOUR CHOICE!!

Okay, some of you know that I host online Challenge Groups, but what you don't know is WHY I'm so passionate about them.   If you would have told me  that I would be "hosting" one of these groups a year ago I would have thought you were CRAZY!!  

  1. 1. I never exercised .
  2. 2. I ate crappy food constantly ( fast food, sweets and Diet Coke)
  3. 3.I became content.....It was easier to be where I was (or so I thought) than to  make a commitment to change.

What a difference a year MAKES!!

I do these challenge groups because joining one 10 months ago CHANGED MY LIFE!
It takes a making a commitment to change....being true to yourself and STICKING TO IT no matter how hard it gets.

I do these challenge groups because I know EVERYONE should feel healthy and happy.  YES!  It is an investment.....BUT, think about it
AREN"T YOU WORTH IT?

I am starting a group that starts on APRIL 29th.  

Space is Limited... So send me a facebook message ASAP to save your spot.
