Recipe Of The Day! BBQ Turkey Top With A Mustard Sauce

Barbecued turkey legs and thighs. I grew up with plenty of meals made with turkey legs because they feed a lot, and they're an inexpensive source of protein. But no matter what time of year we're having turkey legs, as much as I love turkey, the taste always reminds me of Thanksgiving. In this preparation however, slowly cooked on a grill, and basted with a tangy, strong, sweet, sour yellow mustard-based barbecue sauce, the turkey doesn't taste anything like Thanksgiving turkey. It just absorbs the smokiness from the grill and the tang from the sauce. Outside of the holiday bird, this is hands down the best turkey I've ever had.   Makes 4-8 Serves 150 calories per serving   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE :smile2: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! Easy Cooking Cheese Ravioli With Pumpkin Sauce

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. As the perfect thickening ingredient in creamy sauces, canned pumpkin can take the place of most higher fat ingredients (butter or cream) for a dish with less total fat, saturated fat and calories. My husband and family could not believe that the sauce was a pumpkin sauce they loved this dish and so do I. This dish will have your mouth doing a dance of happiness ENJOY!!   Makes Servings: 6 Per Serving 240 calories: Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Sauce   Preparation Time: Approximately 15 minutes Cook Time: Approximately 25 minutes   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Men Are Nicer To Thinner Women!

This is what I have experienced and noticed. This is only my view on this - it may not reflect everyone else's view.   Men are nicer to thinner women. The reason I say this is, now that I have lost close to 86 pounds, I have noticed some differences in men's behavior towards me. They are offering me their seats, holding doors open for me, letting me get in line ahead of them, fighting to keep the elevator doors open so they do not close on me, more men are saying good morning, looking and nodding toward me in a friendly way. A few have have even tried to pick me, up - even men as young as my 30 year-old daughter! (I am a happily married woman and would never take the bait, but... it's nice!)   No matter what our ages are, we as women still like to know we still got it! LOL.   When I was 86 pounds heavier, not many would offer their seat to me (while at the same time they would offer their seat to a thinner woman right next to me) or hold the door for me - and they probably prayed I would not get on to the elevator because of the capacity of the elevator's weight load. There is a lot of discrimination in this country against heavier people. I'm still the same person with a good heart with or without the 86 pounds.   The reason I bring this up is that I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and I saw a huge difference in the way men interact with me.   Again, this is only my point of view. Please share your comments on this - I'd like to hear from others about this particular situation.   You can check out my blog to follow my journey at: :bored:   http://life-after-lap-band®.blogspot.com/
