Pinterest Cooking Experiment 1

So the other day I found an intriguing recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Cube Steak and Gravy. It looked tasty and like something quick and easy I could add to my crock pot rotation.

However, I don't like mushroom ANYTHING so I swapped out the cream of mushroom for cream of potato and added onions, potatoes and carrots to the crock pot.  Then I served it with crescent rolls and steamed broccoli.

I think it turned out awesome!!

And it made 8 servings at 9 WW points a piece. Not TERRIBLY diet friendly, but very doable! 

Like the original... doesn't look great, but YUM!

I loved how soft and tender the cube steak turned out and how much flavor the onions, carrots and potatoes held in.  I wanted to lick the plate clean the gravy was so darn good!!!

Pinterest Cooking Experiment 1? I'll give it an A.  Took something that looked yummy and made it mine and everyone in the house loved it.

Tone it up!

Zumba Toning is taking off here in Wilson and it feels awesome to be a part of that.  I'm loving the added intensity and the focus on strength and control.  It feels empowering.

On top of Toning, I'm working on adding in some more fitness elements in to our usual classes.  Tonight we tried out a new fitness routine to Booty Wurk by T-Pain.  We did it in both classes tonight and YEOWCH! My thighs, lower abs and obliques are screaming.  Really excited about playing with that and Imma Be to really kill the muscles on non-Toning days. 

We also started doing Don Omar's Taboo. Which is killer too! I'm hoping to add in a new cha-cha this week too.  So much exciting stuff on the Zumba front this week.  It's a good escape from all the drama of the car accident.
