Recipe of the day--Tandoori chicken cabbage cups

No picture today, but this was amazing! Inspired by a recipe I saw at the grocery store using lettuce leaves and teriyaki sauce.

What you need:
Chicken breast or ground chicken 1 lb
Red pepper flakes to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil 1 tbl
Tandoori powder
Cabbage leaves
Onion, 1/2

Use the oil to sauté your chicken and throw in the onion and spices as the chicken cooks. Steam your cabbage leaves separately until tender but not wilted.

Once your mixture and cabbage are ready, spoon the mixture into the leaves. Low carb eating and YUM!

Tummy is happy and so is the scale!

Right time and place

How often I forget that I am exactly where I am supposed to be for God makes no mistakes.
Sure, there is plenty to improve upon, however I am exactly who I should be today,with exactly the right people in my life.

I have lived so much of my life, wasted it even, obsessed and controlled with how others saw me. Constantly striving to be someone I'll never be. I will never be perfect, I will never say the right thing, but I'll always be what I was made to be...God's love in the form of Anne. You are God's love in whatever form you take.

I am learning that we are perfectly formed to minister to someone His love. His perfection is found in our weakness.

God loves you even as you are and where you are. Any changing should be done by our Creator.

He loves you....and so do I!

My favorite protein powder


Here I am! Thinking of going to the park later and seeing if I can find a farmer market still around.

The toddler is napping, the man is at work, and I am trying to relax and decide how the next few months will go.

There is a lot of denial involved when you lose a lot of weight and gain it back, but mirrors and aching joints do not lie.

Oh yeah, I am loving this IPAD!!!

My favorite people!

See my baby and the hubbie. When I dress today, I will post an updated pic of me.

So...I am back

So, after gaining back about 80 lbs, I am back. This will now be the story of how I will lose it again. I am thinking I will start with my doctor suggestion to di protein shakes for awhile to get rid of carb cravings and then back to basics. Focus on protein, then veggies and STOP drinking with meals!
