Oh hello! Sorry for being MIA – I was having technical difficulties and my brother is super busy, but I am up and running. I am working on making my site more user friendly, so in the process I think I messed something up – oops!
So this post was my Wednesday recap – I talked about having FIVE eating events this week, and how I needed to plan out my days so that I can spend a bit more points at dinner. I am close to greatness on these three point key lime pie and blueberry muffins, I need to tweak them a bit before posting the recipe, but this has basically been my breakfast all week.
My muffin in sliced and toasted, I don’t count the 5 calories of I can’t believe it’s not butter, an egg and 1 point of deli ham. 
My lunches have been my buffalo chicken chili – this past weekend I mixed ground turkey breast and ground beef in my recipe, so it is 2 points for 1.5 cups – I added a point of vegan cheese and lunch was filling and satisfying.
My friend Jessica was in town and we went to The Kitchen, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants. My friend is pescatarian, and while she wouldn’t have cared if I got a steak, I decided to go outside my comfort zone and order fish – something I rarely do.
We started with the mussels – it was in this green harissa sauce and it was heavenly.
Jessica got the salmon and it was delicious too – perfectly cooked – that crust was amazing!
We ordered the spicy green beans too, and had no room for them after all the other food – but I was happy to bring them home – I need to recreate these soon at home:
I ordered . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . STRIPED SEA BASS! I know! It was stunning – I ate the crispy skin, it was a toasted almond-romesco, shaved fennel, basil, almonds, charred lemon – so good! Except for the fennel – still not a huge fan of that, but everything else was stunning. Mom, next time you and your friends go downtown to a show, you need to try this place out.
The service was great – the manager stopped by the table to say hello and make sure that everything was good – and it was great to get to know Jessica better in real life. She’s just as sweet as I imagined she would be and my life is richer because she’s in it.
I can still hear my late husband saying “internet friends are not your friends!” But I will always beg to differ – I am blessed with all the people that I have met through social media that I never would have met in real life without it.
My friend Morgan (who I met on Instagram!) and I are going to Eataly tonight for September Fest – all you can eat and drink! It should be so much fun. I am spending the night downtown tonight, so I weighed in a day early – my first weigh in for my diet bet and I am down .8 pounds – whoop! So happy with that!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend – make it a great day, and don’t eat like an asshole 😀
Hi there fellow WW. I am always overwhelmed by recipes and cooking blogs but another friend posts her meal plans on Instagram weekly and she has a lot of your recipes . she raves about your 2 ingred. dough recipe so I decided to look it up on your blog. I need to get some yeast and try it. I have made the other recipe with some success , (using gluten free flour because it is what I had and we thought my husband had to be gluten free , a whole other long story) They came out kind of gummy. So, I am going to try your recipe. BTW I am 2 years lifetime and above goal.. trying to get back.
Hi Mary Lou! My guess is that you added too much water – start with a little and add just enough to get the dough to stick together.

I also have a gluten free recipe – it’s 1.5 points per ounce, but its delicious!

Hugs!
Glad to see you are still here. I haven’t gotten an email from you since July so I was wondering if all was okay. Hope I can be added back to the email list!
I am alive and well – and can’t figure out what is wrong with my subscription list – thank you for checking in on me!
Hugs, Biz
Biz do you still send out a daily email. I miss reading your daily adventures.
You went out to eat and had mussels. I call still picture these clinging to the columns supporting the pier.
When I was a kid (long long ago)) I don’t think they were considered edible but they were used as bait when fishing off of the pier.
My subscription is not working right and I am trying to figure it out – thanks for letting me know. And I remember mussels hanging on docks when I was growing up and thinking “gross!” Now I love them 😀
Glad you got everything working again. Those green beans look really yummy. Hope you recreate and post the recipe soon. I always make green beans for thanksgiving and it would be nice to serve them differently this year. Congrats on the loss.
Thanks Paula!
