Healthy, versatile Ground Chicken with Green Onions #Diet #Recipe

March 12, 2017 by bargainhound 4 Comments



   

My boyfriend has been on a serious weight loss mission, and he’s doing so awesome. In just a month he’s lost over 30 lbs through healthy eating & daily exercise.

This is a dish he came up with, and he loves it.  It’s super simple and I thought I would share it with you in case you’d like to try it.  He just calls this “ground chicken with green onions” but also adds other things to it sometimes, which I will share at the end.

First, he cuts his green onions into small pieces.

He then cooks them a bit.  We use our Gotham copper pan, which we pretty much use for everything now.  If you haven’t tried one of these pans, you need to.  You will wonder how you ever lived without it.

After a few minutes of cooking the green onions, add about a tablespoon of minced garlic.

Let them cook a few minutes and then add your chicken.  He cooks 2 lbs of 92% lean ground chicken.  You could also use ground turkey, which he alternates with.

Cook until your chicken is fully cooked. It doesn’t take long, as the chicken cooks very quickly.

Can you see the liquid in the bottom of the pan?  Grab a strainer and drain the fat from the pan.   Then put the chicken back in the pan and continue to cook for just a few more minutes.

Add your salt & pepper.

(He likes a lot of pepper!)

He then poured this into an airtight container, and as soon as it cools down, it will go into the fridge and he will eat it throughout the week.

You can eat this several ways – as a sandwich, in a flatbread wrap, or just like this – but his favorite way to eat this is in a lettuce wrap.

Feel free to add other items to it, too.  He sometimes substitutes the ground chicken with ground turkey, and he often adds bell peppers, red peppers and even salsa.

If you live near a Wegmans grocery store, I’d also recommend using this on their Pop Cakes.  If you don’t have a Wegmans nearby, you can purchase them from Amazon.  I use them in place of bread for lots of different sandwiches.  They are delicious and excellent for dieting.

And Chris also steams broccoli or asparagus and has that as a side dish with it.

First, he steams it.

Then he cooks it for just a few minutes in the pan.

Add salt & pepper and you’re done.

He also places these in his “portion control” containers.   He splits this up between 2-3 meals with his ground chicken wraps.

He loves this meal and it is satisfying for him.  He brings it to lunch with him every day with an apple & a string cheese, and sometimes a yogurt.  He has a very physical job, and still exercises every night when he gets home from work.  And, it’s working so well for him.

Does this dish look good to you?  What would you add or change to it?  Feel free to comment your ideas below.

Depend makes it easier to live with bladder leakage! #underwareness

February 23, 2016 by bargainhound Leave a Comment



When I think of bladder leakage, two things automatically come to mind.

First, I think it only happens to the elderly.  And secondly, I think of Amy’s character on “Everybody Loves Raymond” when it is leaked (no pun intended) that she pees when she laughs.  And even though Amy’s character isn’t old, I still think it’s something that only older people have to deal with.  I was wrong.

Let’s back up about 5 years ago, when I got my yearly dose of bronchitis.  I get bronchitis every year between Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I could probably even mark it on my calender,  “will get bronchitis”.   I hate it.  It starts out with a really sore throat that feels like strep, and a few days later, I’m hacking my lungs out.  And when I get bronchitis, it seems to last forever and a day.  One year I even had it for 3 months straight.  Talk about pure misery.

So about 5 years ago, I had one of the worst cases of bronchitis ever.  The coughing was non-stop.  You know the cough where it’s so deep it feels like your chest is rattling inside your body, and your brains are rattling around inside your head?  That’s what I had.  And then it happened.  I coughed so hard, I experienced bladder leakage for the first time. I thought it was a fluke at first.  I thought maybe it was because I coughed too hard (even though it’s the only way I was able to cough at the time).  I didn’t think much of it… until it happened again.  Next thing I knew, I had to grab a pad because I had absolutely no control over my bladder leaking when I coughed.

 

I remember telling my doctor about my symptoms and told her I was experiencing some urinary incontinence when I coughed.  She did not prescribe me anything for this (I didn’t even know if there was anything you could be prescribed for this – I just knew that if there was, I wanted it), and she acted like it was not an issue.  On the bright side, she did hook me up with some pretty heavy duty drugs to kick this bronchitis.   And I noticed that as I stopped coughing, my bladder leakage stopped occurring.

Fast forward through spring and summer, and back to the fall season the following year.  Once again, and right on schedule – I might add, I came down with bronchitis again.  You know what else tagged along?  My bladder leakage.  Well, hello there, friend (not really – I hate you – please die already).  But to make it as comfortable as possible, at least I’ve discovered there are products out there on the market to help you deal with something like this.

You do not want period pads for bladder leakage.  Trust me on this.  Period pads are not made for bladder leakage.  Period.  (Ok, pun intended).

depends3

But seriously.  Depend makes a product made specifically for bladder leakage!  Why would you use anything else?  Would you use a Kleenex to clean up a gallon of milk spill?  Of course not.  You’d use something that’s made for it, like heavy duty paper towels, hand towels, or if you’re like me who has 6 dogs in the house, you might let them lick it up!  (You think I’m kidding…)  But my point is, you want to use something that’s appropriate for the spill.  So you would also want to use something that’s appropriate for bladder leakage.

So if you’re like me, you’re thinking “no way am I wearing a diaper”.  I haven’t worn a diaper since I was a baby, and I’m not EVEN old enough to be wearing an diaper now. I’m still in my early 30’s 40’s for crying out loud.

depends2

This is why I love these new Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs!  They have a lower rise for an underwear-like look, fit and feel.  So you don’t need to wear “mom jeans” from the 80’s, you can still wear your trendy jeans and no one would even know any better!  Depends is actually the first in this market to make these in black and beige colors as well.  They have a very thin design with a moderate-absorbancy.  They look and feel like regular underwear, NOT like a diaper!

And check out these stats!

  • More people with bladder leakage are in their 20’s than in their 80’s!
  • The average age of someone with bladder leakage is only 52!
  • More people with bladder leakage are 50 or younger than 60 or older!

Depend is entering year two of Underwareness, a social movement and charitable cause to break down the bladder leakage stigma. As part of Underwareness, the Depend brand is encouraging people to show their support for women with bladder leakage. For every photo and video shared using #Underwareness and featuring Depend products, the Depend brand will donate $1, up to $3 million, through 2016 to fund charities that advance the research and education of bladder leakage.

How cool is that?  Come on now, we are in a serious era of social media, let’s get those #hashtags going for #Underwareness!  And make sure you visit www.Underwareness.com to support the cause and request free samples of Depend Silhouette Active Fit for yourself!Tweet: FREE sample of Silhouette Active Fit! #Underwareness Click here ---> http://ctt.ec/EuFBb+

Many thanks to Depend for sponsoring today’s story and spread #underwareness cause!

Pepto-Bismol offers 5 symptom relief! #PinkRelief

January 3, 2016 by bargainhound



pepto1

I’ve suffered with stomach issues and heartburn most of my life. I have to be very careful about the foods I eat. Which isn’t easy, because I LOVE food! And why is it that the foods I love the most are ones that cause me so much pain?

Pepto-Bismol now has these new tablets called 5 Symptom InstaCool tablets. They taste very similar to their original tablets, except they have an icy cool peppermint taste to them. And yes, they are chewable too!

pepto2

I haven’t yet opened the liquid, but I have been taking the original tablets and the InstaCool tablets as I’ve needed them. And with the holidays that just passed, I needed them quite often! Turkey and cherry pie are two things that give me the worst heartburn ever, and they aren’t something I’m willing to sacrifice. Pepto-Bismol to the rescue! They don’t call it #PinkRelief for nothing!

pepto4

But Pepto-Bismol isn’t just for heartburn, it provides relief for these 5 symptoms:

  • Heartburn
  • Indigestion
  • Nausea
  • Upset Stomach
  • Diarrhea

Don’t forget to follow Pepto-Bismol on Facebook and on twitter! Use the hashtag #PinkRelief to follow all the conversations!

I received free product on behalf of Pepto-Bismol and Smiley360, but all comments and opinions are my own.

Centrum MultiGummies #review & enter to win a 70-ct bottle! (Ends 8/13/15)

July 29, 2015 by bargainhound 11 Comments

When I was little, my mom gave me those little Flintstones vitamins, do you remember them?  They tasted like candy, and I looked real forward to my daily piece of candy that came out of the medicine cabinet.

Then I grew up.  And had to start taking adult vitamins.

Well, I have a problem taking pills of any type.  I gag on pills.  They have to be really teeny tiny for me to be able to take them.  I have to really force myself to take medicine when it’s something I really NEED, let alone just for vitamins, which I’ve never considered a necessity.

But I’m in my 40’s now and everyone keeps telling me how I need to get my daily dose of vitamins.  It became a reality when my doctor even told me I need to take vitamins.  I’ve always been anemic, and living in NY, we are really Vitamin D deficient, especially in the winter months.  So I tried taking vitamins – I really did.  But I can’t hack the pills.

Centrum to the rescue!  Who says you have to be a kid to enjoy taking your vitamins? Centrum now makes Vitamin Gummies!!  Oh my goodness, they taste like little gummy bears.  But, you can only take 2 a day.  So don’t go eating the whole container or anything.  But they are yummy, AND they give you the vitamins you need!

They come in three flavors – Cherry, Berry and Orange.  Molly photobombed my photo below.  I think she thought they were for her, since it seems that most everything that comes in for review is for the dogs, lol!

WHAT CAUSES LBL?
Just as no two women are alike, there’s no single reason that LBL happens. Some of the most common things that lead to uninvited leaks include:
•    Physical changes from childbirth, pregnancy, hysterectomy or menopause
•    Being overweight
•    Complications from surgery, stroke, or chronic diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS) or Parkinson’s disease
•    Bladder or urinary tract infections
•    Bladder irritants (certain foods and beverages)

HOW CAN I BEST MANAGE MY LBL?
Women deserve the best options for managing LBL. Whether you leak a little when you laugh, or sometimes have a sudden urge to go, Poise gives you one less thing to worry about any time of day or night. Our pads and liners are specifically designed for LBL, which makes them an easy choice for the 1 in 3 women with light bladder leaks.

Are you worried that you have allergies, but know that a doctor?s visit, testing and follow-up will be too costly and time consuming? Instead you suffer with the sniffling and sneezing, hoping that it’s just a seasonal thing. Or maybe you’re concerned about exposure to STDs, but want a discreet and less expensive way to get peace of mind. Perhaps, you’re in need of a pregnancy test or a complete female health checkup. Maybe, you want to check on that fatigue, or the effect your stressful job has been having on your body.

Busy Americans are finding new ways to be frugal, but at the same time there is more emphasis than ever on preventive medicine. However, people also know that it can be costly to do all the testing necessary to properly diagnose health issues before they become serious problems.

The SmartGlobalHealth.org estimates that by 2030, the number of people with Diabetes (currently more than 180 million worldwide) will double to 366 million. Cancer incidence increased globally between 1990 and 2000 and is projected to increase further by 50%, to more than 15 million new cancer patients by 2025.

Traditional lab testing can be a very time consuming and costly process (source: debt.org) It requires a visit to a doctor, the doctor ordering specific tests, patients then taking those orders to a lab facility to be completed, and then patients scheduling another follow-up visit with their doctor to get the lab results.

Personalabs provides consumers with an improved, alternative way to get those results, while saving money and time.

Personalabs management service allows patients to go their website (Personalabs.com), find the test they are interested in (more than 300 tests available), place their order and Personalabs will send them a doctor’s order within 60 seconds. Questions or concerns? No problem. There are Customer Care Specialists standing-by to help.

Personalabs has doctors registered in 50 states. You print the confirmation order and take that to one of the 1,700 lab facilities located nationwide. The lab takes your sample (whether it?s blood, urine, stool or semen) and you can leave knowing that you?ve completed your part and Personalabs has you covered the rest of the way! The lab tests your sample and within 24-48 hours (some tests are more extensive and may take up to 7-10 days), you will receive an e-mail advising that your results are ready. You then sign into our secure Personalabs Patient Portal to view your results.

Benefits of using Personalabs:

  • If you require discretion, Personalabs offers a 100% confidential service-Your results are sent to your private account, viewable only by you.
  • If you need results quickly-You can place your order using a computer, mobile device (iPad, tablet or cell phone) or by calling 1-888-438-5227 to place your order with one of our Customer Care Specialists. You can visit the lab immediately and your results become available to you directly.
  • If you have little time-There is no waiting time, you do not need to book an appointment as they are not necessary. You just go to one of the lab testing centers with your confirmation order and get tested.
  • If you need to get the results to your doctor-Personalabs offers a service whereby you can share your results directly with your doctor, if you wish.
  • Using this service as part of your regular healthcare-Don?t wait for small issues to turn into big issues. Take an active role in managing your healthcare.

Personalabs accepts all major credit cards, PayPal (including Buy Now, Pay Later), Amazon Checkout, FSA cards and all pre-paid gift cards.

Personalabs currently does not accept any form of health insurance as their blood test prices are the lowest available on the market. Personalabs saves you money and is cheaper than the actual premium you would pay to your insurance provider. They do, however, offer the ability to provide you with an insurance admissible receipt. You can use that to claim back funds from your insurance company.

What are you waiting for? Take an active role in your healthcare. Get the blood tests you need and results quickly for much less than traditional testing.
