My Before & Current Pictures

Ok I was going to hold off on posting any pictures but I decided to go for it.

The picture on the left is my Before picture which was taken at my heaviest weight of 191 before I started ww. I lost most of my weight during ww, then gained some of it back and am now losing it again but not on ww this time.

The picture on the right is my current picture. I am still a work in progress but I look and most importantly feel so much better than I did back then.

Baked Omelet Cups

Today for breakfast we had baked omelet cups. They are really good. I made enough to have leftovers for the week.

Makes 12 regular sized muffins cups

INGREDIENTS:
6 whole eggs
6 egg whites
Fillings: you can use whatever you like and the good thing about it is everyone can choose their own filling. Today hubby and I had spinach, bacon, cheese and green onions and the kids had cheese and bacon.
Muffin Pan (I used a regular muffin pan so had to also use liners. Next time I will use a silicone pan so they will pop right out).



INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. Beat your eggs together like you would do for scrambled eggs. I add alittle bit of water to mine to make them fluffier and black pepper.

3. Line your pan with liners (if not using silicone pan) and fill with desired fillings.

4. Add enough egg mixture to come to the top.



5. Bake for 20-24 mins depending on your oven.

We enjoyed them with salsa. I also had homemade applesauce, herbal tea and water. A Great breakfast!



I am going out today to buy a 12 muffin silicone pan so I can bake them all at once and forgo the liners. Might have to adjust the baking time but will still be faster than baking them in 2 batches and much easier to remove from pan.

Enjoy!

Green Monster Drink

Tonight I decided to try something new. I have seen this drink on several blogs and always wondered if it tasted good. There are many different recipe variations out there but I decided to go with one I found on the "Oh She Glows" blog because I had all the ingredients on hand.

I used the following:
3/4 cup silk light soy milk
1 cup fresh spinach
1 small banana
1 tbsp. ground flaxseed



I blended it all up in my Magic Bullet (I LOVE this thing)



And this is how it looks when it's done



And Guess What? It tasted good too! I was a bit shocked because I wasn't expecting it to taste good. My only suggestion and this is what I will do next time is to put the banana in the freezer and let it get really cold so after you blend it, it is still really cold.

I had the hubby and kids taste it. Hubby loved it and my picky daughter even liked it. I told her it was soy milk, banana and green food coloring. hehehe :-)

I think I might try some other variations now!
