Hello, This weekend,  I got one of my proteges to make me healthy potato tortilla wraps.  Later in the evening my children were peckish so I decided to try something new with one of the wraps: a healthier version of sausage pizza. Healthy pizza recipe  Here's what I used 1 potato tortilla wrap 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup (you can use tomato paste,  I didn't have any at home) 1 teaspoon chilli powder 1small chicken sausage 4 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese How I made it  Mix the tomato ketchup and chilli powder, spread on the wrap. Cut the sausage into small pieces and spread over the tomato paste. Spread the grated cheese over the sausages. Bake in oven or microwave for a few minutes (until cheese is melted) Enjoy. P. S It was impromptu so it isn't as rich as I would have wanted it to be.  You can replace the sausages with grilled chicken breast,  olives,  mushrooms. If you want the tortilla wrap please let me kn...

It's bee n a while we talked  talked about exercises. Apart from exercise keeping you fit, it is  an important addition to any fat loss program.  From experience,  most women want a flat stomach,  not only that,  we also want an hour glass figure.   This exercise I'm about to show you works just great for those purposes.  So if you need an exercise for your abs and waist, try Russian twist.  How to: Sit with your knees  pulled up towards your tummy,  bend your back slightly backwards so you create a  V and twist from side to side reaching for the floor as you do so.   You can start with 2 to 3 sets of 10 repetitions and work your way upwards. This exercise works your  obliques, upper  and lower abs and according to tone-and-tighten.com, doing Russian twist with your feet elevated actually works better than regular sit-ups in toning the stomach muscles.  Muscles worked by Russian twist.  ...

Hello, I have this very handy potato cutter that I use for pretty much everything. 🙈 Potatoes,  bell peppers,  yam,  and I even almost spoilt it by using it for carrots.  It just makes cutting faster and neater. I got it as a souvenir from my hubby's cousin's wedding  so I really don't know how much it costs. If you really need to know you can drop a message and I'll ask her on your behalf. Do you have any useful and or handy gadgets you want to tell us about?  Please drop a comment below or send an email to info@myfigure8.com. Till next time, xx Olubunmi Fajuyigbe
