(#NSNation!) My Nutrisystem Snack Experience

My downfall with weight loss comes in the evening in the form of snacks. I love to have snacks like watching TV in the evening with my family. The problem was that I've always grabbed chips or something high in calories, saturated fat or salt.

Well, Nutrisystem has an answer for that. For me it was the orange creme bar. It was amazingly good! I love dreamcicles from when I was little so this brought back memories and cured my craving for something sweet! So many snacks are chocolate and while I LOVE chocolate I don't always want it. Shocking right?

(#NSNation!) My Nutrisystem Dinner Experience

Well I finished my 10 days of Nutrisystem as a part of their 10 day challenge and I have to say that some of the dinners were really good and some just so so. I'm really picky about my frozen meals and don't like to eat them that often. I can tell you out of all of them the Salisbury steak was the best. I've always been a fan of Salisbury steak even when little and this one did not let me down.

I liked the macaroni and cheese but it wasn't the best I've ever had.

I will tell you this: Nutrisystem is the easiest method because everything is color coded and labeled. If you don't want to think very hard you simply get a red box for dinner. It doesn't matter what red box because they are all very similar in caloric and fat content.  This makes it easier for people who don't like to count calories. You can also add it into their online tool and it calculates everything for you. Very easy!

Johnsonville Sausage Pasta Bake #SSJohnsonville

This great recipe is something that I just came up with but my family LOVED it so I thought I'd share.

Sausage Pasta Bake Recipe

1 small box of penne pasta

1 package (5 links) Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage

1 jar spaghetti sauce

2 cups Italian shredded cheese

1. remove sausage from casings and brown in a pan.

2. Spray a large pan with cooking spray and set aside.
3. Boil water and cook penne pasta until al dente.
4. Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan.

5. spread a layer of  sausage then pasta then cheese.  We kept 1/2 sausage free because my oldest daughter has problems stomaching any type of spicy seasoning and she requested no sausage.

6. repeat until all pasta, cheese and sausage is gone.

 7. Top with more cheese! Add as much as you like.

 8. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted throughout. Serve and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I was sent coupons for Johnsonville sausages. They in no way swayed my review but did give me the product for free in exchange for an honest review.

Spring Fireplace Mantle!

I will be completely honest and say in my super busy life I did not change the Valentine's day mantle until last week. Yup! You heard me... it was a lot of LOVE in my house until March.

With that said, who wouldn't want a little more love?

Our spring time mantle will last until around mid-June when I will redo it as the summer mantle. We start out with some adorable ducks and ducklings I got a few years ago from a local store in Hagerstown.

I am reusing my amazing vase I found at Marshall's. My mother is also now making adorable block letters and made me a set for Mother's day. Of course, she gave them to me early so I could use them for my mantle.
