Getting healthy together!!!

 Weight loss goal for my 25th anniversary:

Just wanted to say how happy I am to have Emily, Susieloulou and Felcia join me in getting healthier! I wanted to take a moment to thank them and give them a little introduction!

Emily has a great food blog called Marvelous Recipes. I have tried many of her recipes over the past several months and have never been disappointed! Be sure to check out her blog. She recently posted a low-carb chicken recipe, Deviled Chicken, that sounds and looks delicious!! Emily is a great encourager!!

Susieloulou was such a trooper to hang in with me when I was trying to toss a few pounds before my 25th anniversary in December! Thank you, Susieloulou!! She has been very successful in losing some unwanted pounds over the past several months. I hope you saw her recommendation to check out Sparkspeople. It is a great site with tons of information and lots of healthy recipes for all sorts of special dietary needs. Thanks for sharing this, Susieloulou!

Felicia is a sweet, personal friend! She has a really cute blog, Lime-A-Beans, where she shares her beautiful  and creative handiwork! She's a gifted seamstress, knitter and cook! Be sure to check out some of the beautiful party cakes she and her family members have baked! They're really neat!! I so appreciate Felecia's suggestion that we remember each other in prayer. We can do all things through Christ... Thanks for this reminder, Felecia!!

I love that these ladies shared what they will be doing to try to shed their unwanted pounds! I hope you gals will post any good tips and recipes that work well for you as we go along!

As for me, I will be trying to stick to my doctor-recommended, low-fat eating plan. Due to my not-so-great cholesterol levels , this is the best and most needed path for me. There are so many with special dietary needs, I am glad we have a variety of "plans" in our little cyber support group! Oh, I do try to walk everyday, too! To me, walking is the perfect exercise! It clears the minds and strenghtens the body!

Please join us! We'd love to have you! Just leave your name (it can be a pseudonym!) and your goal in the comment section of any post, or e-mail me at mealplanwithconnie@att, and I'll add you to our list!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share
