My very berry sauce is so quick to make – less than 5 minutes from frozen fruit and you’ve got a delicious element to your breakfast parfait. One cup frozen fruit (make sure it has no added sugar in the ingredient list – some frozen fruits add sugar) 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon corn starch and 1 teaspoon Splenda. Put in a pan over medium high heat – it will look all white because of the corn starch, but after 5 minutes it will turn into syrupy goodness. Is syrupy even a word?!
I weighed out 1.5 ounces of granola, which was only 140 calories according to the package, but cost me 6 points. I puffy heart granola so I am not giving that up 😀 And doesn’t everyone have a food scale at their office?
Breakfast comes in at 6 points.
It was a gorgeous chilly day in Chicago – still see some remnants of summer with this tiki bar on the Riverwalk.
I made a batch of my Buffalo Chicken Chili over the weekend – with chicken breasts at .99 cents a pound, I couldn’t pass it up.
In reality, this is what my lunch looked like at my desk 😀
Dinner was super quick last night. Because I meal prepped bone-in chicken breasts, this Copycat Panera lemon chicken orzo soup took less than 15 minutes to put together. I forgot how much I love the brightness of the lemon in this dish. Only 3 smart points, or 224 calories per serving – #winning!
So I’ve been trying, without luck, to make a decent microwave single serve cake. So far I am 0-5. If you have a tried and true microwave cake, do you mind sharing your link? This was the worst one yet – I tried to use sugar free cake mix, greek yogurt, an egg and water – and well, this tasted like ass.
I had spotty internet on the way to work, so I am just going to hit publish and move on – happy Thursday – make it a great day!
I had a good mug cake recipe, i’ll see if I can find it . But it won’t be as good as your fruit sauce or chili!
Let me know if you find it – hugs!!
Here’s a link to her chocolate mug cake, and a link to all of the mug cakes she has at her site. I have only made the carrot cake one. I almost hesitate to link to her, but she seems to be doing better than she was in the past. But hopefully you can make a version that’s point friendly

The lemon soup and chili both look great. I’m no help here on the mug cake. I just don’t think any cake made in the microwave will really taste like cake but I hope you find a happy substitute. Your most recent cake post was crazy funny.
OMG, that was the worst one yet! I may attempt another one tonight – we’ll see – I’ll keep you posted.
We used to make cookie mugs back in the day. Fill a mug about halfway with packaged chocolate-chip cookie mix. Add in extra chips and/or nuts. Add enough milk to moisten. Microwave about 1 minute and top with ice cream. Not from scratch, but easy, quick and delicious! Might work with cake mix too. 🙂
Okay – I may have to give that one a try! Thank you!
