My Nutrisystem Journey Week 6 and 5 Protein Rich Egg Recipes #NSNation #Ad

Disclosure: I am a Proud #NSNation Blogger and I received Nutrisystem in
exchange for this review.  The opinions expressed above are 100% mine
When people ask what I'm doing to lose the weight and I reply "Nutrisystem", I'm often asked "how's your diet going?"  Diet?  Nutrisystem isn't a diet, it's a program.  I like to think of Nutrisystem as a mean of helping me reprogram my nutritional habits.

SECRET WORD:  EGG

I'm eating healthier meals.  Making better food choices and losing weight along the way.  I'm learning how to use food as fuel.  It's all about finding the proper mix of good carbs, high protein, high fiber foods to keep me going without packing on the extra pounds.

When it comes to protein, few foods pack the protein power of an egg.  Eggs are the PERFECT snack.  You can boil 'em, scramble 'em, saute' 'em add 'em to your salad and so much more.
Eggs are powerful little sources of protein and can be prepared in so many ways.  Eggs are low in calories and high in protein and a wonderful addition to your Nutrisystem meal plan.
Nutrisystem includes a few breakfast items with eggs like the Turkey Sausage and Egg Muffin, the Canadian Style Turkey Bacon, Egg and Cheese Muffin, French Toast and my favorite, the Turkey Ham and Cheese Omelet.
Nutrisystem Turkey Ham and Cheese Omelet
 This omelet is 90 calories of deliciousness and it's quick and easy to prepare.  A minute or so in the microwave and tada I've got a tasty way to start my day.
 
Check out these 5 quick and easy ways to start your day. 
  1. Boil 'em.  A medium to large boiled egg is a only 50-70 calories and packs a whopping 6 grams of protein
  2. Scramble.  Scramble in a skillet or crack two eggs, add salt and pepper, pour in a microwave safe mug, pop in the microwave for 2 minutes and you've got No Mess Scrambled Eggs
  3. Easy Egg Salad.  Boil 2 eggs, add a tablespoon of fat free mayo, 1 teaspoon of mustard, a sprinkling of salt and pepper.  Mash together and you've got a tasty egg salad.  Feeling fancy, chop some parsley and exchange the mustard with curry powder for a tasty Curry Egg Salad.  Yummy!!! 
  4. French ToastNutrisystem French Toast is pretty tasty but 1 egg and 1 slice of whole wheat bread and you've got the makings for a classic French toast dish.  Crack the egg, add a little cinnamon and/or nutmeg and dip your bread til coated on both sides.  Cook until golden brown and top with fresh fruit or lo-cal syrup.  Yummy!!!
  5. Quiche.  I don't remember which one of my co-workers shared this One Egg Quiche recipe with me but it's been a fave of mine for years.  It's one of my fave dishes to make in my ramekins.  Just preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray the ramekin with cooking oil spray, grab a slice of bread and press down into the ramekin to form the quiche crust, crack an egg, add some cheese, add some fresh veggies and bake for about 20 minutes til settled.  Tasty dish for one.
I am back on track.  After gaining a pound last week, I am happy to report I lost 2 pounds this week.  *tosses confetti*

Awesome on the weightloss! I have tried for the longest time to like eggs. I can eat the egg white, but I can't stand the yolk of an egg at all. :-( Unless it's in a cake! ;-)

Eggs are a wonderful way to get your protein without the added carbs. Drink more water and those pounds will melt away!

I am really interested in this program. I wonder if they have gluten free options. I am going to have to check into it!

I was just sitting here, saying to myself that I need to eat healthier! I can't go vegan because I love eggs and cheese.

My husband did south beach for a while so we are very familiar with eggs. They are a great choice if you are trying to lose weight.

Congratulations on the weight loss. I love eggs and need to eat more. Breakfast is so hard for me. I tried Nutrisystem years ago and really liked it. I think I will check it out again.
It sounds like you are very pleased with the food and that's very important. I like eggs, they're very inexpensive and versatile.

You can add eggs to a lot of meals too. They are just a great ingredient to have around the house.

I love eggs! Since I'm vegetarian, I try to eat quite a lot to ensure I'm getting enough protein. A simple boiled egg is one of my favourite breakfasts.
These simple egg dishes are great. It is not only healthy but it sure fills you up, making you crave less!

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
