What happened to the Recipes?

I woke up this morning Hungry like I do most days since I stop eating around 6 PM. I ate Crispix without Milk since we are out. I decided it was work out time. I put my adorable Son in his highchair with some brown rice puffs, and pick a dance work out. O.M.G. the Salsa work out is awesome! My entire body was sweating, and I feel ready to tackle my day.
I chugged some water and now I am ready to find some healthy recipes.
This one I found looks amazing! Enjoy!

(Be sure to check back here tomorrow! I am going to be a featured blogger on Speaking From the Crib, so in honor of that I am going to be giving away some Progresso soup!)

I love Chinese food, but we all know it's SO unhealthy! This recipe sound yummy and I am going to be making it ASAP!

Break off radial pieces of star anise and discard woody centre.

  6. I am checking you out through Speaking From The Crib! I loved your post on her blog and I'm definitely going to follow you!

    I gained 65 and 75 pounds with my pregnancies, and my *barely* 5'4" frame was carrying 200 lbs. I started just the way you are -- changing what I ate, diet drinks, and for me, just very light exercise. I recently posted something about that on my blog, if you ever want to check it out!

    I look forward to reading more!
