Delicious Greek Pasta with Sausage Recipe (Great Dinner!)

I am not sure if I have mentioned this much before, but I am part Greek Orthodox. One of my favorite Greek meals growing up was Greek Meatballs. I love the sauce. Even though it is traditionally used for meatballs, I like to use it for sausage and pasta. It is a very thin sauce. Here is my recipe for “Greek Sausage Pasta”.

Nutrisystem – Before & After

I am so sad to see my Nutrisystem NSNation experience come to a close. Nutrisystem has really helped me get my weight back on track. It has been a long road filled with ups and downs but as of yesterday, I hit my goal of 135 lbs – that is a weight loss of 21 lbs in just 3 months. That may not sound like much, but I had already lost over 50 lbs. My doctor has told me she absolutely does not want to see me at less than 135 lbs and that is fine with me. I am 5’7 so I am on the tall side for a woman. I think that 135 is a great weight for me – now I just need to work on toning up a bit more. The workouts were the hardest for me to get to because – if I am being totally honest – I have been really busy with this blog. If I have free time, I am trying to get a post or two done rather than spend 30 minutes working out. However, with the weather getting warmer, I will be going outside for walks with my girls and getting much more exercise.

New Nutrisystem Foods + This Week’s Results

I did pretty good this week on Nutrisystem. I did go to brunch with some friends on Sunday, but other than that, I pretty much stuck to the plan. I did not get as much exercise in as I had hoped, but that is usually the case int eh winter. I get busy with my girls and we have to stay indoors, so there is not too much to do. Excuses, I know. But once this snow all melts, I will be going for walks with them every day which will be nice. I feel great about my body and I am still loving the Nutrisystem food.

Little Lambs Easter Cupcakes Recipe

My husband and I love to bake. Lately we have been involving our daughters in the process as they are getting old enough to help out. I recently received some really cool Easter items from Target Grocery, and one of them was the Little Lambs cupcake kit! This kit is perfect for some family fun around Easter. My girls were so excited about making “sheep cupcakes” and they did a great job helping with the baking and the decorating!
