Heather,
you have a great blog and I think it is fantastic that you have transformed yourself.
I took the plunge 18 years ago and feel great.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, Matt! Congrats to you for keeping a healthy lifestyle for so long. I shudder at the amount of fries and chocolate shakes I consumed at McDonalds every Friday night in high school after football games! I really wish I would’ve known about the importance of nutrition and exercise back then, but now I just look forward and try to pass on my learnings to others who are trying to achieve their goals. Every day is a new day! I’m definitely enjoying so many more things in life now that I’m healthy. It changes everything!
I loooove this recipe! It’s a staple of ours in the winter. I make it with turkey and add in green peppers too.
Great! Great idea with the green peppers!
