Finally, an American Idol contestant to watch!  They saved the best for last when Michael sang “This Woman’s Work.”  I know that song from one of my favorite movies – She’s Having a Baby with Kevin Bacon.  My favorite scene is when they rush Kevin’s wife to surgery, the nurse comes and gets him and says nothing.  He thinks they have lost the baby.  He...

I love shredded zucchini in eggs.  For some reason it just makes it so much fluffier!  I decided to make a zucchini egg white omelet, but put the shredded zucchini in the actual omelet – stuffed with 1.25 ounces of deli ham and .8 ounces of swiss cheese, I had a delicious breakfast! At this point, I put a lid on and turned it off...

Chicken Tikka Masala UPDATE FEBRUARY 2025: Updating this post nearly 15 years later feels like a full-circle moment in my Weight Watchers journey. When I first shared this recipe, chicken breast had to be counted for points—then, in a glorious turn of events, it became zero points. Whoop! But with the plan update in December 2024, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are now included, and let...

Thank you for all your birthday wishes for Hannah!  She had an awesome weekend! She bought her first lottery ticket: She won her first lottery ticket! She bought whip cream!  Okay, some of you had questions about why you had to be 18 to buy canned whipped cream.  Apparently you can get high off of the nitrous oxide that makes the whip cream come out...

From about the age of 12 my daughter has started a list of things that will be in her future apartment.  It’s not that she doesn’t like living with us, but she is just one of those people who wants to be on her own as soon as possible.  In fact if she could move out the day after high school graduation, I think she...

I got so much done yesterday afternoon – I wish every Friday could be a half day!  Work was busy, so busy I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast sammie, but it was identical to yesterday’s steak sammie – I had two tangerines on the side – so juicy and good! I met Tony for lunch at Portillo’s – he was like “why...

Yesterday’s breakfast sammie kept me full for a long time!  Maybe it was the 2 ounces of steak with all that protein?  Breakfast: 1 arnold thin, 1 egg, 1 slice pepper jack cheese, baby spinach and 2 ounces of steak.  I had a cup of watermelon on the side.  Breakfast was 407 calories. My first real job that wasn’t in a bar or a restaurant...

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Put 1/2 cup of pizza sauce on pita. Put on 1/4 ounce of baby pepperoni (truth be told, I could have left them off – I hardly tasted them!) Put on any veggie – mine was a 1/2 cup of baby spinach mix: Crack on egg on and season with crushed red pepper: Bake for 10 minutes for a tender...

Yesterday’s breakfast was so simple and good – it baked in the oven while I was getting ready for work. In the bottom of a 4 inch ramekin, I layered one ounce of cut deli ham, one cup of baby spinach, 1/2 cup of egg whites and then put a slice of pepper jack cheese on top.  I baked it at 350 for 20 minutes...

I have two ladies to thank for my lunch and dinner yesterday – but I’ll get to that in a minute!   One of things I got in my BSI win from Megan was Trader Joe’s cranberry instant oatmeal – I loved it!  You can’t tell from this picture, but its in the bottom!  I had 4 ounces of diced honeycrisp apple (on sale for .99...
