Game 10
Cucumber Dill Dip
Packers @ Redskins
Pregame
It's been a rough week for the Pack after two terrible losses. The coach and GM have been under fire and people are asking who are the leaders on this team and who is going to step up.
Injuries for the Packers are a wash this week. They'll get Clay Matthews and Jared Cook back but it'll be offset by losing TJ Lang and Jake Ryan.
The Packers need to figure things out tonight or things could get real ugly the rest of the season. The best thing going for them is that they beat Washington at home in the playoffs last year, but Washington is a little better than last year and they probably are looking for some revenge.
Recipe
Cucumber Dill Dip
Recipe inspired by PlantBased OKC
Ingredients:
1 box silken tofu (Mori Nu Organic Lite Firm)
1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 small onion
2 large garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1 1/2 Tbsp dried dill
Place all in the ingredients in the blender and blend at high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Makes about 1 quart and will last a week in the fridge.
Serve with fresh veggies and crackers.
Health Tip
This recipe was from the group Plant Based OKC. This group in Oklahoma City is lead by Dr. Jimmy Conway and his wife Andrea. Dr. Conway is a leading orthopedic surgeon specializing in the shoulder. He went plant-based overnight after doing extensive research including reading Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease(which we have mentioned before) the day before he was scheduled for triple bypass heart surgery. He cancelled the surgery and 6 months later was in great health. Here's a 5 minute video about Dr. Jimmy Conway.
Now Jimmy and Andrea, with the help of Randy Titony, are spreading the word about a plant-based diet throughout Oklahoma. Every month they hold a free 2.5 hour Nutrition 101 class at the hospital Jimmy works in. We attended this class in May as a family and it was just the help and guidance the rest of my family needed to go plant-based. They also hold a Wellness Forum the 1st Monday of every month at a restaurant where you can get a great meal and talk about health.
You can find out more about Plant Based OKC by going to their website. They also have a great Facebook page, PlantBasedOkc, that shares great health information and recipes. On Instagram, you can follow them @plantbasedokc.
Dr. Conway is also in the the new documentary Eating you Alive.

Game Recap
Packers lose again, 42-24.
The Packers played well enough to win but the defensive secondary could just not prevent big plays. Throw in a slow start again by the offense and they were playing from behind most of the game.
Some bright spots included Jared Cook and Aaron Rodgers. Despite a little slow start, Rodgers played like the we know he can. Jared Cook showed exactly what the Packers hoped from him when they signed him as a free agent.
Next week we're still on the road, in Philly this time. The Packers are now 2 games out of 1st place in the division and a loss next week and a win by the Vikings or Lions will pretty much seal their fate.
Have a great week with family and friends for Thanksgiving!
