I came across this recipe and am very anxious to try it. With my new work schedule, I have decided that the best way to make sure that I can get dinner on the table at a reasonable time is for it to cook while I am at work.
I will share other crock pot recipes with you as I find those that are interesting (to me) and that I intend to try. If you have tried it or will try it, please let me know how it worked out for you.
Oh yeah, I am notorious for modifying recipes, so I will let you know what changes I make.
ENJOY!!!

Hello and Happy to be back. It has been a while. I have had a lot going on, but it feels good to be sitting here typing right now. The month of September is been a crazy one for me. I moved, started a new job, lost a little weight, had some personal things crop up, but all in all, IT HAS BEEN A FABULOUS month for me.
I know the last time I was here, it was my birthday and I said I was going to set a new goal for myself. Well here we go. My next goal is to drop 18 - 20 pounds by Thanksgiving. Yeah I know I am choosing the most insane time of year to set these goals, but I am determined. I figure I love me and I am worth it. I never completely deny myself anything because the more I deny myself.the more I want it, so it is good to indulge oneself from time to time.
I have been walking quite a bit lately (mostly out of necessity), and I am sure that will contribute to the process. Now I will say that my eating habits or should I say "lack of eating" habits are still horrible. For example. I didn't eat breakfast, lunch and I am reasonably sure most people wouldn't consider what I ate when I got home from work, dinner. I just had a few diced potatoes that my daughter baked and a small piece of polish sausage. For those of you who are already thinking...."omg, you can't starve yourself to lose weight. it is unhealthy, blah, blah, blickety blah." I know this people. I don't eat like that to lose weight. In reality it is counter productive to my weight loss as my body spends most of it's time in starvation mode. I have always eaten like that (even when I was skinny). It just doesn't occur to me to eat. I don't really get hunger pains, so I run, and go, and do, and at some point in time during the day I realize that I have not eaten. YES!!! This is on my list of things to fix, but I don't have high hopes for this one though. I have been eating like this for 43 years. LOL....old dog .....new trick....good luck.
Anyway, I will periodically check in to let you know how I am progressing, any new recipes I find/try/create, any exercise I am trying (prefer Tai Chi, yoga, ect) . Oh yeah and I have been trying to get more rest. I really think that is making a HUGE difference.
I am always open to comments, positive input, and such.

Mega Salad
There is nothing better sometimes, than a mega salad. I like to make these for dinner for me and my daughters to share. It is great and quite filling. I prefer spinach salad, but sometimes I do use a spring mix.
