My charm bracelet

My sister came up with a great idea!  As a reward to ourselves for losing weight we are creating a charm bracelet and getting one charm for every 10 pounds we lose!  We started with a bracelet and two stoppers, then two charms (since at the time we had lost 20+ pounds).  As of today, I have now lost 30 so it is time for a new charm already!  The last picture is the new one I am going to get!




Crockpot Mexican Porkchops

This was a huge hit in the Nordhavn/Lockett/Allman house!

Ingredients:

6 boneless porkchops (about 2 pounds)
1 (15oz) can chili beans
1 1/4 cups salsa
1 cup fresh or frozen whole kernel corn
2 cups hot cooked rice

How To Prepare:

1. Place pork chops in the crockpot

2. Add the chili beans (including the liquid) and salsa

3. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours (I did warm for about 8 so it would cook while I was at work)

4. Add corn and cook an additional 30 minutes (prepare rice at this time)

Makes 6 servings / 8 WW points plus per serving

This is so easy to make and so yummy!  Enjoy!
