How are you doing on your New Year's resolution to lose
weight. Um wait a minute...shouldn't that be a January blog post? Nope. Not for
Chef Tess who has made it a real goal to keep moving forward this year even
past January! Look. We're to November! I'm down 45 lbs since time last year...How about you? Are you still struggling? I have work days
that last long. Do you? How about a crazy busy schedules that sometimes doesn't
really allow you to stop for much of anything? I do too, but I'm still on track.
One thing that has been helping me a lot is having a quick-grab ready-made meal
on hand. This year it has been the addition of some thick turkey and chicken
stews using my freeze dried and dehydrated products. They have been
delicious and easy to run with.
These are great for:
These are great for:

just perfect!
