My update

Yes, it's me!!

The picture on the left is me at my heaviest weight, the middle one is when I started Skinny Fiber and the one on the right was today!! I've always been an emotional eater, and a still birth, miscarriage and a failed marriage took it's toll. I think seeing this picture is what really motivated me to get my behind in gear and make changes. With a lower calorie lifestyle and exercise I began to lose the weight, until I hit the dreaded plateau. Even on a 1200 calorie a day diet with exercise I wasn't dropping the weight, I heard about Skinny Fiber and decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did I broke the plateau and hit my big goal of 100 lbs lost. I think I became a bit obsessed with the scale lol so I no longer weigh, we will have to wait til the next time I go to the doctor to find that our, but at last count it was 115 lbs total, 50 of that on skinny fiber! It's one of the best decisions I have ever made as far as my journey goes. I still have a bit more I want to lose, but I am so proud of how far I have come!!

Sandra's Newest Update

You are doing so AMAZING hunny!!

I was always overweight growing up. I got married in 1986 and then got pregnant with my child shortly thereafter. I was hefty before, then I gained 60lbs during my pregnancy. After giving birth to my son, I continued to add the weight on. Well, in 1992 I finally decided I was gonna have to do something about my weight. I went on a low-fat diet and began to walk each day. I lost a 100lbs within a year of doing so. In 2002 I went through a horrible divorce (after being married for 16 yrs) so I ended up working two jobs to support me and my son, that left no time for exercise or eating healthy. I began a new relationship in 2005, from 2006-2011 it was a very TOXIC relationship LOADED with STRESS. Of course most of you know that stress ...will work either two ways, lose weight or gain weight, my stressed caused me to gain weight. Plus getting older makes it even harder to lose weight. I had a horrible car accident in 2006 which almost took my arm off. Thank GOD everyday that he saved it for me. But that accident added to the stress as well, it left a huge scar on my arm that took me time to accept. I had to do a reality check, be thankful for what I do have and able to have 90% use of it with a huge scar than not to have it at all. In Jan of 2012, I met the love of my life. No more stress added into my life with bad relationships. In Feb 2013, A friend added me to a weight loss group that was selling skinny fiber there. I kept watching all the testimonies and said I would give it a try. Tried most everything else. Why not! I am so thankful that I did. I have lost 19lbs and 22 inches. It has helped me with insomnia and hormonal issues that kept me from losing weight. So if you are on the fence wondering whether or not to order skinny fiber, IT WORKS. I am so thankful that I found it and for the friend who introduced me to it. www.sbctina.com

Pumpkin Crumble Pie

Ingredients:

For Pumpkin Pie:
· 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
· 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
· 12 oz. evaporated milk
· 1/3 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
· 1/4 cup maple syrup
· 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
· 1 9-inch deep-dish frozen pie crust, thawed

Maple Crumb Topping:
· 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
· 1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
· 6 Tbsp. cold butter
· 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
· 2 Tbsp. maple syrup

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk,
brown sugar, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well, and pour into thawed crust.

Place pumpkin pie on a baking sheet, and bake 20 minutes. While your pie is baking, make the crumb topping:
Combine flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon, mix until mixture becomes crumbly.
Do not overmix, or the mixture will turn into a dough. You just want chunks of crumbly goodness.

Remove pumpkin pie from oven. Sprinkle crumb topping over pie. Drizzle with maple syrup.
Bake another 35-40 minutes, until crust and crumb topping are golden brown. Let pumpkin pie cool completely before cutting.
Drizzle with maple syrup before serving

Granny Smith Apple Pie Treats

Awesome! Awesome! Not as hard as it looks!!

3 Granny Smith Apples - please wash the apples before you start~~cut the tops off, and core out. Careful here, don't cut thru the apple skin.
Fill the cored out apples with lemon water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice to a full glass of water ~ keeps them from turning brown.
I used a small can of Country Apple pie mix, added a little more cinnamon and apple pie spices until I liked the flavor~ your tastes may be different.
Dump the water out of the apples, just shake it off, fill the apple with the mixture. Set aside for a few minutes, while you make the lattice top.
I used one Pillsbury pie crust, rolled it out and sliced a few thin long strands. ( Let the pie crust come to room temperature before you roll it out)
Basket weave across the tops, leave a little hanging over the edges, when your done with the lattice, press the edges you left hanging to the apple.
I sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar on the top. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, your oven may be different.
Some people use an egg wash on the lattice, but as fast as these cooked I was worried the tops would brown to quickly. You are looking for a nice browned top and the apple to look a little transparent. 25 minutes was perfect in my oven.

Kitchen notes: I had extra pie filling and extra pie crust left over. I rolled it out thin and put the rest of the apple mixture in it and rolled it up jelly roll style, cooked it right along with the apples, sliced it in thin pieces for bit sized treats. Waste not, want not!
Enjoy! Pretty dessert!

Cinnamon Pancake Stack

Ingredients:

for the Pancakes:
4 cups all-purpose flour
8 tsps baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 cups milk
2 cups water
4 tbsps canola oil
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

for the Cinnamon Filling
1 cup butter, melted (200gm)
1 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp ground cinnamon

for the Cream Cheese Glaze
1/2 cup butter (100gm)
4 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla essence

Directions:

To make the Cinnamon Filling:
Mix the three ingredients together. Place in a disposable piping bag and snip the end off or put in a Ziploc bag and snip the corner off.

To make the Pancakes:
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Stir them together until everything is moistened leaving a few lumps.

Heat your griddle/pan to exactly what temperature you want but not to high or you could burn the cinnamon. You don't want these too cook too quickly.

Pour desired amount of mixture onto girdle or pan. cook for a few seconds to seal the base before adding the cinnamon mixture. Using the piping bag and starting at the center of the pancake, create a cinnamon swirl. Wait until the pancake has lots of bubble before you try to turn it. You will find that when you turn it the cinnamon swirl will melt. The cinnamon will melt out and create the craters which the cream cheese glaze will fill.

To make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter and cream cheese and then stir together. Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Add a little milk if needed to make
it a glaze consistency.

Place pancake on plate, then cover with cream cheese glaze. keep doing this until you have run out of pancakes. pour cream cheese glaze over the top when finished.

Hoasie Rolls (New Mexico Style)

2 cups flour, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 pkg yeast or 2 1/4 tsp yeast in a jar, 3-5 tablespoons chopped green chile, ( I used fresh roasted and peeled chile), 2 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 cup warm water, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 3 tbls veggie oil, or olive oil.

Fill a large mixing bowl with hot water to warm the bowl. Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. I pre measure everything in small bowls to have it all ready. Dump hot water out of the bowl, put one cup warm water
(between 110 -115 degrees) in the pre warmed bowl, add yeast and salt, stir gently to dissolve yeast. Let this sit for about two minutes. Add sugar, gently stir, add seasonings, stir again, add green chile and cheddar cheese, stir until well mixed. Start adding flour, I add about a quarter cup at a time and continue to mix, keep adding flour until bread starts to form. Knead 20 times to mix all flour into the mixture. Grab a cast iron skillet, add 3 tbls oil to the skillet and warm it up, just to the point it is warm to the touch. Form 9 golf ball sized rolls, roll them once over in the oil in the skillet and place an even distance apart in the skillet. Cover with a tea towel and let the rise 30 to 40 minutes. Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. These are excellent with a pot of stew or a bowl of beans! Enjoy!
