Corn Chip Salad --
Yummmm!!
Yay! I finally remembered to take a picture o' one of my all time favorite salads before me ate it all - haha! You're Welcome - lol! ; )
Omg, are you gonna looove this salad... it's my new favorite salad, and now I have it almost every day (probably a good change from my old favorite thing to have every single day, the
Archer Farms Chocolate Granola with a sliced banana... good for my Blood Pressure, and
deeeelicious, but maybe not so great for me waist!! hahahaha! Healthy, but I never did do the math on how many calories or grams of sugar, since I always put
waaay more of the chocolate granola in my bowl than the box said was a 'single serving' (yeah, 'single serving' for a mouse... not a growing girl, such as meself!! lol!).
Anyway, give this salad a try, or just
try crushing some corn chips in your hands, sprinkle the corn chips on any salad, or in your soup, or on your pasta (I think you can see how many things I have sprinkled the crushed corn chips on, now! hahaha! Crushed corn chips make everything delicious!! hahaha!
Corn Chip Salad
Big plate of lettuce/salad mix from the grocery store (In America, Smart and Final has
THE best price on ready-made salad, $1.99 for a giant bag)
(Oh, and that reminds me -- you know what I think the biggest change would be to make America healthier? Make all the produce, all the super-healthy fruits and veggies, affordable for everyone. Subsidize the farmers so they don't lose out, if need be, or the grocery stores..., but the savings in the Health Care System would be soo great, people would be soo much healthier and happier... its the price that prevents a lot of people from buying lots and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables... that's an easy fix, and it would make an enormous change in the fight against diabetes and obesity...)
Add chopped up Celery, Green Peppers, any other veggie you happen to have in the fridge (and this is optional, but really tasty... I chop up a whole thing of celery --
technical term, '
thing of celery' -- and put some on my salad, and the rest in a baggie to put in the fridge, so the salad the next day is even faster to make...)
Sprinkle on Sunflower Seeds... I am very,
very liberal with the amount I use --
quel suprise!! lol!)
Lightly top with Balsamic Salad Dressing (I love the Paul Newman's Balsamic Salad Dressing)
Add some Italian Salad Dressing --
yes, a bit of both types of salad dressing... and I'm fairly liberal with the salad dressing, too... I'm not a believer in making your salad sooo
bland, you're mad when you eat it --
nooo, make your salad so you
loooove it, then you'll be excited to have salad every day, and you'll really enjoy what you're eating
: )
Take a few handfuls of corn chips and crush them in your hand, then sprinkle on top of your salad... you're gonna go
crazy for this salad, it's sooo delicious!
Who cares if there's some fat in the corn chips, you're still eating a really healthy salad, and that's the important thing.
I took a bunch of pictures of my fave Corn Chip Salad a few days ago.. will post them, tomorrow... it's the middle of the night, right now! lol!

| It's meee, at the gym, workin' off all those crushed corn chips! lol! |
Oh, and I'm at the gym every day, and finally have worked my way up to Level 25 on the Stair Master, so all very pleased with meself about that!! I've never really done a whole lot of work on the cardio machines, because I like to lift weights (fantastic way to shape, or 're-shape' your body, especially for women...), so it's a big deal for me to have added the Stair Master to my daily routine. I've found that as you increase the Level on the Stairmaster, you increase the resistance, so it really feels like a good workout for your whole body, not just for your heart (although, very good to get that blood pumping to your heart! haha!). Now I'm at the point where I can burn 900 Calories in two sections on the Stairmaster... for roughly 30 minutes the first time, then I do my weights (and stretching before, during and after the Stairmaster and weights), then another 20 minutes, or so, on the Stairmaster... and
whammo, I'm up to 900 calories. Probably another 200 calories for the weight-lifting, too, so it all adds up to a healthier and trimmer body -- yahooo!
I think I am up to about 1200 calories a day, including the swimming, and if you add the daily numbers up, that's over 8,000 calories a week, and that makes a huge difference in how healthy and happy you feel... That's fantastic! I loove to watch the numbers on the Stairmaster roll over the 100 mark, then 200, 300, 400, 500, 600... I think you get the picture!! lol!
I'll post a section on my Gym Routine so you can see if it appeals to you, and you might like to try it, too. And then, of course, we go for a swim after our workout at the gym, so we call it
our daily 'gym 'n swim'.... all very happy stuff!
I love Swimming!! Is my favourite thing, ever! So peaceful, and so much fun!
Ailsa : )
Louise Hay, my favourite Girl, at 89, now, I think! (Aww, Louise Hay just passed on, into her next 'Life', at the ripe age of 90...) She's amazing, I love all her books! So uplifting and lovely, you'll feel so great about yourself, and your whole life will change - will be so great!!
