Cous Cous Creativity!

I've been so busy working on my Curls and Whey Cookbook, but I really wanted to post up a quick blog post on a meal I had yesterday.

My meal called for:

85g chicken

100g cous cous

Okay, so that's not so bad...but how about the Shrimp Tempura roll? It has over 500 calories and 21 grams of fat! Yikes!!

My husband loves eating sushi rolls, so we have compromised and learned to make sushi rolls on plan. Check out the video!

Football Foodies- The 7 Layer Dip

Oh how I love football season! There's nothing like sitting in front of the TV in my Broncos jersey eating snacks while watching the game. If i were to consume what most of Americans eat during a game, I would need to have another wardrobe 4 sizes larger just for football season.

I try to stick to a veggie tray, baked nachos, shish-ka-bobs and chicken skewers when planning football parties.  This past weekend I made one of my favorite dips. Here's the recipe.
