Words with friends

  I am completely obsessed with the app "Words With Friends" for the iPhone.  It combines many of my favorite things in one neat, little package...games, words, semi-anonymity.  The most games I have ever had going at one time was six, but I believe I am capable of juggling several more while still being a reasonably functional person.  The other day, Bill and I were doing a pass and play game at Chili's while waiting for our guiltless grill classic sirloins and the waitress said, "I love that game!  I was playing 15 games at one time the other day!"  See?  I'm sure I could handle more.  If you want to play, leave a comment and we can arrange to swap user names.

On an entirely different note...perhaps it is time for a weight loss update.  It has been a year now since we decided to stop living to eat and start eating to live.  I have lost 90 lbs. and Bill has lost (drum roll, please) 120 lbs.  We feel great and look forward to slowly losing more as we continue to eat healthier (and less). 

I love tasty, convenient food, and who doesn't?  Here is a dish I made this week.  It couldn't be easier.  When divided into four servings, it is 320 calories a serving.  Let's call it...

Fiesta Chicken Bowl

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can whole corn, drained

2 cans original Ro-Tell tomatoes with green chilies

Dump it all in the crock pot and cook it on high until the chicken is done and you're ready to eat.  Or on low until the chicken is done and you're ready to eat.  Don't you love crock pots?  Just before serving, stir in 1 Cup brown rice, cooked.  I use the kind from Costco that cooks in the microwave for 90 seconds.  Delicious!
