Easy BBQ Baby Back Ribs (No Skill Required) These easy bbq baby back ribs (no skill required) is perfect for a beginner cook, or for someone who has been intimated by their grill to make bbq ribs.  One of the first BBQ ribs recipes on my website goes all the way back to 2009!  The first line of that blog post?  “I overcooked the ribs!!!!” ...

Banana Biscuits Hannah nearly threw up in her mouth when I said I wanted to make banana biscuits.  She joked and said “why don’t you go ahead and add cottage cheese, greek yogurt and zucchini in them?”  It’s a running joke in our family that my son-in-law says I can’t make baked goods without those three ingredients. But in my head, I knew these would...

Women’s Retreat Recipes This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend a women’s retreat, and not only attend, but speak for 90 minutes.  When Rose, who coordinated the event, asked me last fall if I’d be willing to do it, I didn’t hesitate.  I said yes immediately.  Did I ask how long I’d be speaking?  No.  Did I ask if there would be a...

Frosted Flakes Chocolate Chip Cookies Mariano’s always has a discount rack right before the check out.  Hannah and I are a sucker for that discount rack, and have been known to spend 10+ minutes looking at everything.  Last week they had a box of Frosted Flakes on discount, and I immediately thought of Frosted Flakes Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Best idea evah! I typically say that...

Burger King Italian Royal Chicken Sandwich Recipe This recipe brings me back to Jr. High.  Confident I only babysat for two reasons.  One: to babysit at homes that had amazing pantries and freezers where I was told I could “help myself.”  Two: to earn money babysitting so I could go to Burger King and get the Burger King Italian Royal Chicken Sandwich. I was a...

Green Beans with Insane Sauce This recipe for green beans with insane sauce is inspired and adapted from my friend Bobby’s website.  You can check out his original version here.  Since I don’t like mayo, this is my adapted version and makes me crave green beans!  Because I made the swap from mayo to yogurt, it reduced the Weight Watchers points to just 2 points...

Blueberry Sour Cherry Scones I met my friend Amy for some thrifting yesterday and I brought her some of these blueberry sour cherry scones.  Since I had just written the recipe, and they were hot out of the oven, I never had a chance to taste one.  Happily, these turned out to be 6 Weight Watchers points. When I got back home, I took a...

Blueberry Swim Biscuits Until a few days ago, I’d never even heard of a swim biscuit.  A creator said she made blueberry swim biscuits and as soon as I saw her video, I knew I had to make them.  I of course tried to make these a bit more Weight Watchers friendly, and calories wise, I brought them down to 238 calories per biscuit.  However,...

Banana Walnut Muffins Hannah always makes fun of me about how often I make muffins.  And when I told her these banana walnut muffins are my new favorite muffin, she replied “you say that after every muffin recipe you make!”  While in the beginning of my Weight Watchers career I was always trying to make recipes that were the lowest points, but I’ve found that...

Oven Roasted Pork Shoulder (for Meal Prep) For the longest time I thought buying big cuts of meat didn’t make sense for someone who lives alone. But I’ve completely changed my mindset. Now I see it as one of the easiest ways to simplify my week in the kitchen. Instead of cooking something new every single day, I “meal prep” one protein on Sunday, like...
