Halloween Treat! Boo Licious

Leading up to Halloween I will post a Halloween recipe along with my Recipe of the day!   BOO LICIOUS Pumpkin Seeds. Here is an easy recipe for roasting fresh pumpkin seeds from your carvings of your pumpkin. Scary Good!   Recipe Yield 1 1/2 cups 83 Calories: Per 1/4 cup Serving   Ingredients:   1 1/2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds   2 teaspoons butter, melted   1 pinch salt   Directions:   1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).   2. Toss seeds in a bowl with the melted butter and salt. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.   I Found this story I though it was so interesting!   Why Carve Pumpkins?   The story of the Jack o'Lantern comes from Irish folklore. Jack was a crafty farmer who tricked the Devil into climbing a tall tree. When the Devil reached the highest branch, Jack carved a large cross in the trunk, making it impossible for the Devil to climb down.   In exchange for help getting out of the tree, the Devil promised never to tempt Jack with evil again. When Jack died, he was turned away from Heaven for his sins and turned away from Hell because of his trickery. Condemned to wander the earth without rest, Jack carved out one of his turnips, took an ember from the devil, and used it for a lantern to light his way. He became known as "Jack of the Lantern."   Check out my blog if you want to fine my recipe of the day or just a little more about me.   http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Think “out of the box” with this recipe…pumpkin isn’t just for pies anymore! Used in any dish, soups, stews and more, canned pumpkin adds beta carotene (vitamin A) and fiber.

Doctors with the "Bad-News" Face!

Well, the first anniversary of my LAP-BAND is almost here. It was on October 26, 2009 that I had the LAP-BAND put in - and what a year it has been.   So as we all know, at the end if your first year, we need to have an esophogram and blood work done, and mine is due next Thursday. I got the prescription for my blood work and took it to my physician to have my blood drawn. After a few days, when the results were in I asked the doctor for a copy of my results.   So now I'm waiting for the results in his office - which was full of patients. Within a few minutes the receptionist told me that the doctor needed to talk to me, and he called me into his office ahead of the other patients. :smile2:   When I walked into his office, I could see he had on that face that doctors have when there is something wrong. He closed the door and told me to have a seat. Now I'm nervous - thinking there is something really wrong here - I was waiting for some serious bad news like the LAP-BAND has to come out - which for me will never happen even if it kills me - at least I'll die thin! LOL:tongue_smilie:   Then he proceeded to say I was vitamin D deficient and also iron deficient. I look at him and smiled and say "is that all" LOL. So he says it is not that good. I said this is nothing - can vitamin supplements help(which honestly, I have not been taking like I should have been doing)? The answer was yes, so I'm taking vitamin pills now.   Someone posted today about a vitamin D deficiency and passed out a link and I looked at it. I learned that vitamin D deficiency is common with obesity and also common with weight loss.   Boy, doctors sure know how to scare a person! LOL:sneaky:   Now I'm looking forward to the esophogram next week and I'm sure the results will be fine. I just hope my surgeon has his usual smile on his his face when he calls me in to tell me the results in his sexy Aussie voice! I will keep you all posted. I hope you are all doing well!:smile2:

Recipe Of The Day! Meal For A Deal Black Bean Soup

More-for-Your-Money Meal These days, who can't use a little extra "help" in the kitchen? Eating on a budget is easy—and tasty. This recipe makes 4 servings for under $15.00. Less is more flavor! This simple yet flavorful black bean soup draws upon Italian and southwestern influences. I love this soup a regular at our house. When serving to kids I use less crushed red pepper to make it slightly less spicy. The soup "magically" turns slightly pink if you add fresh lemon to your bowl of soup. My husband calls this dish "Meal for a Deal Black Bean Soup" So that's what I named it. It's so hearty and yet low in calories! Definitely a great soup.

Recipe Of The Day! Fall Baked Maple Apples

This fall bounty includes apples, walnuts (I like pecans), and maple syrup. All three come together in this super-fragrant dessert. It's that time of year again, Apple-picking season. If you are like me you will find you have too many apples on your hands after a weekend of apple-picking with your kids and family. Here is a nice recipe to use up some of the apples. Makes for a low calorie desert. Apples are loaded with fiber, the soluble kind that helps lower blood cholesterol. Maple syrup, cinnamon and just a bit of butter bathe baked apples in a luscious warm sauce. YUMMMM...

I Signed up for a 5K Run - What Have I Done?

I decided I needed a challenge in my exercising. I heard about a 5K run on October 30th, so I signed up for the event! On October 28th, I will pick up my runner's tag, number, T-shirt - and the "goodie bag" - whatever that is, LOL.   They asked for my T-shirt size, and I hesitated because I didn't know if I needed a Large or Medium (OMG - no longer need an extra-large!). So I ordered a Large just to be sure, but when I get there to pick up the items, I will see if the Large is too big for me, and I'll get a Medium. What a dilemma - LOL.   The funny thing is, I'm not a runner LOL. I am a walker - I walk three miles every day and I decided I wanted to push myself, so I signed up for the race. My husband and daughter asked me if I expected to come in first, second or third - I told them I just wanted to come in alive! The average time to run 5K is about 1/2 hour - I told my family that if they don't see me at the finish line in 1 1/2 hours - come looking for me - I'll be out there somewhere! GRIN.:thumbup:   So between now and, when I go for my walk every day, I'll step up the pace and run! Pray for me!

Going from Thinking Big to Thinking Small

Almost one year in - wow what a journey!   So many things have changed in my life that still amaze me to this day. My health is 100% better. I have stopped taking at least 8 out of 10 meds. I have so much more energy - I go out so much more, walk and exercise. I feel great about my looks, and I can shop for regular-size clothing!   When I go clothes shopping it makes me smile when I try on clothes that are too big for me! This is a mind set that will take some time to change - I've been so big for so long.   When I take public transportation and see a seat on the bus or train, my heart does not have to beat fast, realizing that I don't have to size it up to see if I can fit into it. I just sit down with room to spare! This is something else it will take time to get used to.   I have 12 more pounds to go before I reach my goal. I have not lost any weight since my last posting - I've hit another plateau that I have spoken so much about. I wanted to be at my goal weight by October 26 - the first anniversary of my LAP-BAND surgery. I'm not going to make it exactly, but, hey, a year ago I weighed 288 pounds! I know I came a long way and I will surely lose the 12 pounds soon.   I still work out daily. Now I even have a few women who ask me to help them the with their workout regimen on the weekends. We go the the pier and look at the New York skyline from the Jersey side - makes for a great background for walking and exercising. Two of the women have lost 8-10 pounds each and are so excited about it! Can you believe I'm helping others to loose weight?   So I guess it is going to take some time to get used to the new me! I'm extremely happy and excited, and I've been amazed on my one-year journey that has transformed me. Now I'm looking forward to the rest of my life as the new me.   I want to thank everyone on this site for all the wonderful support and encouragement that has been so important to me. And I know that this support is so important to all of us who are in the process of changing our lives in such a big way!   For more about my journey and to see my Recipes of the Day, please visit my blog at http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/   :ohmy: :frown:

Recipe Of The Day! Gazpacho-Smoke Turkey

This is a very economy friendly recipe look below for total cost you will be amaze. Gazpacho, the classic fresh-vegetable salad from Spain that eats like a soup, usually takes a lot of chopping. In this streamlined recipe, most of the chopping is done for you by using canned tomatoes and vegetable juice. Because vegetable juice is a combination of several vegetables, you get most of the garden-fresh quality of a traditional gazpacho in a single ingredient. By adding some smoked turkey, this traditional light soup serves as a hearty, one-pot main-dish meal. For a spicier gazpacho, add a dash of hot pepper sauce. ENJOY!   Total cost: $8.31 Servings: 4   Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes   170 Calories Per Serving   check out my blog for more info on this recipe and so many more:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/
