Nutrisystem Week 4 Update - 10 Pounds Lighter!

This is the first day of my second month of Nutrisystem.  I weighed in this morning at 10 pounds lighter than the day I started.  I am very happy with that number and I cannot wait to see where I am next week.  Nutrisystem works.  I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first, but after doing the plan for the past month, I can tell you that it works.  I feel so much more energetic.  I got up this morning at 4 am to do my workout.  I did an exercise dvd that lasted 50 minutes.  This is all very new to me.  A month ago I started this journey and now it has become habit for me.  I am so thankful to have been given this opportunity.

If you need to lose weight Nutrisystem is a great way to get the weight off and keep it off.  It teaches you portion control.  You learn to include fruits and vegetables in your diet which are so healthy for you.  I really do recommend this plan to anyone looking to lose weight.  I have a lot of weight to lose and it's coming off, week by week.  You can lose weight too, just give it a shot.  Believe me you will not regret the decision to take care of yourself.

Want to lose weight and get healthy on Nutrisystem? Join today by calling 1-888-853-4689 or by visiting http://www.nutrisystem.com/nsblog.

Gnu Foods Review

Gnu Foods sent me a case of their bars to sample and review.  I had never tried these before and was really pleasantly surprised.  I enjoyed the flavor & fiber combination.  Gnu Foods was introduced in 2004.  They are dedicated to making food that works.  Gnu bars help with weight management, support health and promote regularity.  They have 7 delicious flavors.  I tried the Cinnamon Raisin first.  I had it for breakfast with a cup of coffee.  It was very filling and I was truly full after eating it.  I did not get hungry again for at least three hours.  I couldn't wait to try the Chocolate Brownie bar next.  I have to be honest and tell you that this was my least favorite.  I enjoyed it but not as much as I enjoyed the other flavors.

If you want to know where you can buy Gnu Foods near you just go to their store finder here.  They sell them at a store near me and I'm sure they are sold near you all as well.  I really recommend that you try these.  They are good tasting and healthy.  It's a nice way to start your day or a great snack. 

My family and I enjoyed each of the flavors.  Even though the chocolate brownie wasn't my favorite, it was my husband's favorite.  These bars are entirely natural and great for your heart health as well.  They are a wonderful addition to a well balanced diet.

Review:

Hank Player USA sent me a shirt to review and they are also offering two shirts to one lucky winner from my blog.  If you haven't ever heard of Hank Player USA you are really missing out. 

Hank Player's made using a special process, is vintage washed and will have a hip, weathered and worn-in look, with slight variations in color and graphic.

Hank Player for infants, toddlers, boys & men, is proudly made in the USA with the finest quality materials.

I received the Rock On! Tee (Vintage Navy) for our son.  Classic rock is back in style again! This vintage inspired, super soft, short sleeved, crew neck t-shirt is 100% supima cotton jersey. Garment dyed and pre-washed for softness, this tee is pre-shrunk for a true fit.

Rock On! graphic on front, Hank Player logo on back.The shirt is slightly too big for him right now but he will enjoy it next year.  He's almost big enough for it.  The shirt is high quality.  I know that it will last for a long time.  Since it's pre-shrunk we know it will not shrink with washing.  This shirt is extremely soft and I know our son will wear it as much as he can. 

Right now they are having a back to school sale you can get 30% off any order using the coupon code SAVE30 at checkout.  I have selected a few other shirts that I know we would love as well as the one we received to review.  I am very impressed with the customer service and the quality of the product.

Newman's Own Organics Review & Giveaway Ends 10/03/11 at 7 PM EST

Newman's Own Organics sent me a box full of their products to sample and review.  I was so surprised at the amount of stuff they sent.  They sent a huge selection of their wonderful products.  I received Pretzels, Chocolate Bars, Fig Newmans™, Ginger Snaps, Newman-O's,  Dried Fruit ,Hermits, Licorice, and Mints.

The Hermits are my husband's favorite.  He couldn't stop eating them until they were all gone.  These are his favorite new snack.  He prefers the ginger but they are all good. 

The apricots and berry blend are really good for snacking on the go.  Dried fruit is an easy way to get some extra fruit in your day.  We loved both the berry blend and apricots. 

I am a big fan of mints.  I like to have a mint with me at all time to keep my breath fresh.  I received a package of all four kinds of mints.  These are some really good mints.  I enjoyed all of the flavors.

Of course the chocolate is our favorite thing to sample.  The espresso was my favorite and the orange was my husband's.  We are not typically fans of dark chocolate but this is the best dark chocolate we have ever had.  It tastes so clean and natural.  We enjoyed every bite of each of the chocolate bars.

Kicking Horse Coffee Review & Giveaway Ends 8/31/11 at 7 PM EST

I received a can of Kick Ass Coffee from Kicking Horse Coffee to sample and review.  I love coffee and couldn't wait to try this one.  Kicking Horse Coffee is new to me.  I have never tried it before.  I love the aroma that the kick ass coffee gives off.  I ground up enough beans for a small pot and brewed.  It smells amazing.  It is a nice dark coffee.  I enjoyed a cup black and then I had another cup with some french vanilla creamer in it.  This coffee is really enjoyable.  I can't wait to have another cup tomorrow morning.  I am a huge fan of Kicking Horse Coffee and I can't wait to try the other varieties as well. 

Kick Ass [Dark]

The name says it all: carpe diem, play to win, no regrets. Don't let this cute little donkey fool you-he plays for keeps. This take-no-prisoners roast is popular with athletes who'd rather enjoy a good cup of coffee than choke down an energy bar before a workout. A great mix of Indonesian and Central American beans that is guaranteed to kick some sense into you.
Tasting Notes: Intense, full-bodied, dark-roasted attitude

If you would like to win your very own can of Kick Ass Coffee, just enter the giveaway below.

Tastes From Home Recipe & Givewaway Ends 8/18/11 at 7 PM EST

I would like to share with you a recipe that reminds me of being back at home.  I grew up in Ocala, FL and we had a fairly large family.  So we always had meals for a large group of people.  One recipe that I have always loved is my Mom's Frito Casserole.  I am going to share her recipe with you, it's not original, I'm sure someone along the way gave it to her.  We have enjoyed this casserole as a family for years.


Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups Fritos corn chips or 1 1/2 cups other corn chips
• 1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
• 1 (16 ounce) can chili with beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 carton sour cream
• taco sauce

Directions:

1. Mix Ground Beef with Chili.
2. Layer in 9x13 Pan: Fritos, Meat/Chili Mixture, Cheddar Cheese.
3. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
4. Top with taco sauce, sour cream, and fritos to taste when serving.

This is a great dish to serve at football games and at other fun events.  Everyone in the family loves to eat Frito Casserole.  It's easy to prepare and tastes great.

Frito-Lay has created several new, regionally inspired chips made with all natural ingredients.

I can't wait to try them all, but I am most looking forward to trying the Chipotle Ranch and the Tangy Carolina BBQ sounds good too.
