Yes, It's true, I am on the third day of Weight Watchers. I was inspired by Nancy Zundell, a woman in my neighborhood. No offense to Nancy, but if she can loose her weight after getting as big as she did with her last pregnancy then I can do it too. Go Nancy!!! I need to post a couple of pictures on here of me pregnant so that you believe me when I say I get huge too. So, here I am almost 3 years after the birth of our last baby and it is time to do something about the weight issue. (As noted in previous posts.) I have good incentive too. Mark's dad just called on Sunday and is getting married on May 24th. That gives me just under 3 months. Wow, pressure is on.
It was the cutest thing. I was talking to one of the cheer coaches at Rachael's Cheer Gym the other day who happens to be pregnant and adorable. We were talking about pregnancy and how our husbands love us and think we are sexy even though we are huge. Her comment to me was that even though he sees this beautiful glow all she sees when she looks in the mirror is "large and in charge". How much do I relate to that. How cute she is.
My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
