Skinny Jenny - Lower Sugar and Calorie Cosmo Recipe

SKINNY JENNY COSMO



Join my free online fitness community here.

Try this tasty skinny martini using vodka, lime, orange, and cranberry juice. It's super easy and tastes great. I came up with it one day trying to reduce sugar and not use syrups with corn syrup in them.

Yields one drink

1/2 cup ice

1 oz vodka

1 oz no sugar added cranberry juice

1 wedge orange, squeezed * tangerine works well too.

1 wedge lime, squeezed

A dash of real stevia, artificial sweetener or chemical of choice lol :)  or 1 tsp sugar

Approx 3 oz sparkling water (lemon or cranberry lime works well)

Place everything in a shaker cup and shake to combine (be mindful of the pressure in the sparkling water. If you seal the cup it will build up the pressure. Strain out ice and pour the liquid into a martini glass.


Drop in a fresh blueberry, raspberry or blackberry for extra pizzaz! Enjoy!

Easy & Fun Halloween Spider Web Taco Dip Tray


Halloween Spider Web "7" Layer Taco Dip

This is such an easy platter to make for a party. Your guests will think you worked so hard *insert evil laugh here :D  Pick up the purple web shaped platter at the Dollar tree for extra snaz!

Ingredients:

  • 1 can refried beans 
  • 1 small container of sour cream  (**reserve about 1/3 for the web)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (or make your own because the packets have MSG -- see recipe below)
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 to 2/3 container of guacamole - pre made so it does not turn brown
  • sliced black olives
  • 3 plastic spider rings or plastic spiders washed and dried.
  • The cool platter is from the Dollar Tree. 


Directions:

Combine beans, 2/3 sour cream and 2 tbsp taco seasoning and spread on platter. Top with guacamole carefully so you do not mix the colors on top. If they are mixing, try freezing the beans covered for a few hours, then you can easily spread on the guac! Sprinkle cheese, tomato and olives around the edges. Pipe sour cream on top of guacamole using a small zip loc bag with a tiny hole, or a piping bag with a writing tip.


Taco Seasoning Ingredients
 (use 2 tbsp of this mix) - combine all in an old jar to use in chili or mexican dishes. It's great!
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper

To make this healthier, mix in greek yogurt in place of sour cream and use fat free beans.

Believe In Yourself and Let Go of The Fear Of Rejection


There's a lot of truth to this quote. This was and still is how I feel inside sometimes. When I started my business 5 years ago, I knew I was meant for more than just being a stay at home mom and military wife. I had a desire inside me to really make a difference and be successful. I just had zero belief in myself. I had no self worth. I had to pretend and borrow belief from others as I built myself up over time. I still struggle with this, but I have come a long way! 

You may not know but I have always been the odd girl out. I never really fit in in school and was obnoxious and loud and seemed to get in trouble for talking and laughing all the time. Rejection from peers in school happened for many years and that spilled over into life when several close friends hurt me deeply. I am a very forgiving person, but I don't easily trust once you hurt me. I feel like I have this expectation that a friend wouldn't like the real me and won't stick around for long. Or, they will hurt me somehow. I may be a bit paranoid, but my past has groomed those feelings in me. They are very real.

My fear of rejection really impacts me letting my light shine and being genuine to who I am. I have come a long way and am starting to open up more and be true to myself and be who I am. I figure if God made me this way, He did so for a purpose and who am I to try to change it. In the last 5 years I have really pushed myself outside my comfort zone and made new friends and gone to events which has been very scary, but it's been the best experiences of my entire life. Fear was holding me back from really living and finding people who accepted me and loved me for me. That fear still keeps me at home more than it should and keeps me from doing a lot of social things, but I have come so far. I really have grown a lot.

I'm sharing because I know I am not alone. I know many of you have struggled with rejection which leads to not feeling worthy of love and acceptance. Self worth and limiting beliefs will only hold you back from your full potential and who God wants you to be. If you don't believe in yourself, just know that we all love you and believe in you. Pull from that and use that to help propel you towards your greatness!
You are fearfully and wonderfully made and you have value. You matter. The world needs you to be who you are. Believe in yourself because you were created to change the world!

Cheer's to Turning 40!


Cheers to turning 40!
The last 10 years have been incredible. They have also had a lot of ups and downs.
It's crazy to look back 10 years and see everything that has happened. How things change over time. All the opportunities we had. The mistakes we made. The regrets we have. The blessings we've experienced.
Here's just part of the amazing and not so amazing real life things we've been through 
We moved to Georgia from Maryland.
Jason deployed to Afghanistan for 9 heart wrenching months.
I started a business  and found my purpose.
Jason retired from the Army after serving for 22 years. Wow!
We had some really hard experiences with a special needs teenager and had to make some hard choices.
Jason and I almost split up multiple times.
We pulled through by the grace of GOD and our relationship is stronger than ever!


We have gotten a lot of vehicle debt and paid off almost all that debt lol.
I was able to travel so many places! Vegas, Nashville, Palm Springs, Destin, Kentucky, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Orlando, Charleston, Palm Springs, Virginia Beach, Raleigh, D.C., New Orleans, Houston, and 4 free work trips with the hubby (2 cruises, Cancun, and the Dominican Republic).
I've had many laughs and many tears and lots of love.
I've made so many friends who live all over!
And as I reminisce; I realize how much I have grown. I am healthy and strong and working on finding happiness through the struggles of depression and anxiety.
10 years ago, I was in a bad place. Resentful. Angry. Bitter. Depressed. Lonely. I felt my life lacked purpose and I had no hope that we would ever break free from living paycheck to paycheck as a military family who had made bad financial decisions.
I feel like I was just finding myself in my 30's. Trying to figure out where I fit in, what my purpose was...And to think about the changes emotionally, physically and financially from just the last 10 years makes me smile because I know the next 10 are going to be even BETTER.
I am just getting started.
Cheers to making 40's ROCK!

Chicken Green Chili White Bean Soup Recipe

Pressure Cooker Recipe ~ Chicken Green Chili White Bean Soup



I whipped this up in my Instant Pot pressure cooker and fell in love with the flavors. It is really simple and quick to make and you can easily swap out the beans if you have some different white beans on hand. The original recipe called for cannellini beans, but I had white navy beans and white beans in chili sauce on hand.

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to follow me on my Facebook page at Jennifer Wood, or my Healthy Recipe Community.

Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red onion and 1/2 yellow onion, or 1 medium onion, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, or 4 mini sweet red peppers (the ones in the bag)
1 carton of chicken stock
1 cup water
2 chicken breasts (remove one half of a breast once cooked and save for another meal)
1 tsp prepared garlic, or 1 large clove fresh garlic chopped
1 can white navy beans
1 can white beans in green chili sauce
1 can diced green chiles
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
cilantro, chopped for finishing touches! Gives a lot of flavor. Just a tad will do!


Set pressure cooker to saute function (high). Saute onion, bell pepper for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and salt, pepper & spices and saute for a minute more. Add in remaining ingredients: chicken stock, beans, chiles, 1 cup water.

Secure lid and cook on soup setting (20 minutes).

Allow pressure to naturally release. Pull out chicken. Allow to cool. Shred 1 and a half chicken breasts and place the chicken back into the soup. Save the rest for lunch or another meal. I am all about cooking smarter not harder! You can also freeze the shredded chicken for a later meal.

Serve soup in bowls with a little cilantro on top.

21 Day Fix -  Shift Shop - Fixate Meal Plan equivalents: 1/2 green, 1/2 red, 1 1/2 yellow, 1/2 tsp

Stove modifications: 
Saute onions and peppers in oil. Add in remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. Remove chicken; shred chicken. Add chicken back into soup. Enjoy!

Suggestions: You could easily add in some spinach or kale to increase the veggies.
I like to add Cholula hot sauce to mine!
