Progess Report #8/9 - May 14th-27th



Hi everyone -

Wow totally spaced last week - so sorry!! Exercise has not been on top of my priority list and it is showing in so many parts of my life. My eating, sleeping and stress levels are so off and I know if I got back on the wagon I would be able to right the ship.

So how are all of you doing? Please report your mileage in the comment section for Jill. If you have a blog post or a guest post you would like to do, let us know about that too.

Only 1 more month to go!

Have a great holiday weekend everyone -
Allie

Go-To Ingredients



For something different, let’s talk about healthy recipes.

Do you have an ingredient that you rely on? For me, it’s veggie broth. The canned kind, because I’m lazy like that. If you’re not concerned with sodium content, it’s a healthy and flavorful substitute for water. I happen to prefer Swansons, and I promise I’m not getting any kick-backs from the company!

I use it in all sorts of dishes…when sautéing veggies, as a base for soups (particularly minestrone and split pea), whenever I cook rice, and for black beans (simmer a bag of black beans in 4-5 cans of broth for about 1 ½ hours, add some garlic salt, and pretend you’re eating either refried beans or black bean soup).

How about you? Do you have a secret, healthy ingredient that you can’t live without?
