So….today is the day! The final day that I am in the Shaklee 180™ blogger program. It has been 6 months! I remember thinking that 6 months would go by so slowly, but really, it zoomed by and I can’t believe that we’re done with the journey. Of course, I’ll never be done. Losing weight and keeping it off will be a life long journey for me! The past month and
8 Common Cooking Mistakes You & I Make
You’ve probably never had cooking mistakes and mess ups in the kitchen, have you? I mean, everything I have ever touched in the kitchen always turns out perfectly. (Yeah Right!)

A lot of times recipes are

Marinara Chicken & Vegetables Recipe for the Crockpot
Marinara Chicken and vegetables is wonderful. Let me just tell you, I am usually not a fan of zucchini. But when it’s added to tomato based dishes, I really enjoy it. This meal was chock full of yummy vegetables and smelled wonderful while it was cooking. For the chicken, I put in the whole pieces of chicken and then cut it up after it was all the way cooked.

Month 5 on Shaklee 180™ Vlog
I’ve been on Shaklee 180™ for 5 months now! Crazy, right? The time is flying by. There’s lots of small differences I’m noticing.

The only problem is that I have 2 children who don’t like this wide of an assortment of vegetables. They survive though, and the rest of us are happy. We love to add some

He loves the more processed versions of pork (like sausage, bacon & shaved ham), but when it comes to pork roasts, pulled pork and pork chops, he’d rather eat beef.
