Nutrisystem Update Week 17: Romantic Diet-Friendly Valentine’s Day Meals and Desserts

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Nutrisystem Valentines Treat

Valentine’s Day is coming, and since the hubby and I are doing the Nutrisystem program together, we’ve been planning ahead for how to celebrate while still staying on track with our weight loss.

Dieting might not seem like the most romantic topic for a Valentine’s Day post, but one of the things we love about being on the plan is that we’re doing it together and we’re having fun with it! Instead of our usual update, we’ve put together a special list of some of our favorite Nutrisystem foods and desserts to plan the perfect day of romantic meals:

Breakfast in Bed

Ham And Cheese Omelet

Hubby’s favorite is the Turkey Bam & Cheese omelet, while mine is the Garden Veggie one. We get both with our frozen food order, so we trade off. Instead of Mimosas, make fancy glasses of sparkling water with just a splash of fresh squeezed OJ for a low-cal cocktail and enjoy breakfast in bed!

Spicy Kung Pao Noodles for Lunch

Kung Pao Noodles

Spice things up for lunch with Nutrisystem’s new Kung Pao Noodles! I like to make a side of steamed baby bok choy with just a tiny bit of hoisin sauce and crushed peanuts on top to make the meal feel extra special. Using chopsticks is fun and helps you to eat more slowly, too.

Comfort Food for Dinner

For most men, one sure way to win their heart is with good old-fashioned comfort food! The hubs is no exception, so I’m planning to make  Nutrisystem’s Chicken Pot Pie. I’m still trying to decide on the perfect side to go along with it so let me know if you have a suggestion. I’m thinking roasted brussels sprouts since we both love those, or maybe a fancy salad with strawberries and spinach.

Pet Owner or Pet Parent? Fur Kids Are Family, Too!

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

 places we go with our dog Daisy

People with dogs usually fall into one of two categories: there are those who think of themselves as a “pet owner” and then there are those of us who consider our fur kid as a part of the family. As pet parents, we take Daisy into consideration with just about every decision we make. Where we live, what we do on the weekends, where to go on vacation, and even what car to take when we all go somewhere together.  And we go LOTS of places together!

That’s why I love the new videos Subaru did as part of their “Dog tested. Dog approved.” campaign. They really celebrate and share in the canine-centric view we pet parents have of life with our fur kids.

There’s a new one I especially love called Kids, featuring Grant Weber, celebrity and Subaru Canine Sales Associate. It’s got adorable puppies, so what’s not to love!?! Check it out:

Daisy thought that one was cute but wants you to know there is NO WAY she is riding in a car seat! She’s a bit of a sports fanatic like her papa, and is a fan of dressing up in her football jersey and watching the games or tailgating with pals. If she had her way, every day would be game day and she’d pack up the car full of tailgating necessities just like these dogs!

Daisy thinks those fur kids sure have the right idea! If your dog also likes tailgating and other four-wheeled activities, be sure to stop on over at Subaru’s Facebook page where you get them their own Dog Driver’s License, Visit the Dog Matchmaker, Ask the Expert and more. Daisy and I have been playing around with their cool new apps already and they’re super fun! Next week we’ll show you some photos of Daisy taking a virtual test drive using the Subaru Facebook app so be sure to check back soon!

>Do you consider yourself to be a pet parent or is that just “crazy dog lady talk”? Leave us a comment and let us know! If you also think fur kids are family, then be sure to share this message and super cute video with your friends by using the RT button below!
