Five Minutes For Me

Last fall I went through the process of creating a healthy kitchen pantry and refrigerator. 

Well, since I decided to re-evaluate my plan, I figured one good place to start is by going through my pantry and refrigerator once again. During the past holidays, I set myself up for failure on any type of weight loss diet. Our pantry and fridge were stock full of bad things… sugary cereals, boxes of hostess goodies, Chocolate chip cookies, potato chips, chocolate candy bars, alfredo sauce,  almond roca, and the list goes on… and on…

I’ve managed to toss some of it, and restock my pantry and fridge with several healthier choices. I’ve also written up a modified menu.

I have found several of the recipe websites that list the nutrition for the recipe. A couple of my favorite websites for low calorie recipes are the recipezaar.com website and sparkpeople.com with the nutritional comparison chart. 

On the recipezaar website, with  just a few clicks on different recipes, it was easy to compare the nutritional info. I can choose lighter calorie versions of my favorite recipes. Southwestern Chicken is on my menu this week. Oh this sounds sooo good!

Well, this is one step toward a real diet plan… I have a long way to go, but I feel like I’m definately on my way to a healthier me.
