25 Weight Watcher Friendly Appetizers If you are looking for 25 Weight Watcher Friendly Appetizers for the Big Game this weekend, look no further! I’ve compiled some of my favorite appetizers and my friends Ed, Stephanie, Emily and Gina have graciously let me share some of their amazing recipes too. If you are not following them, you are missing out – here are their website...

You will want to put this Classic Idaho® Russet Potato Crusted Quiche on the top of your list of recipes to make! If you have followed me for any length of time, you know I puffy heart potatoes.  Like a lot.  The number one question I get asked though when I eat them is: “Biz, you are diabetic, you shouldn’t be eating potatoes!” False!  Not...

Low Carb Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese You need to put this low carb cauliflower macaroni and cheese on the top of the list to make! Being diabetic, I am always curious about low carb pastas.  But sadly, the results mostly taste like crap to me.  Either the cooking time is such a fine line from perfect to overcooked, or not cooked enough no matter how...

I first wrote this Snickerdoodles cookie recipe in 2009.  It was buried in a “day in my life” blog post.  Only I knew it was there, because my blog post title was “It Was A Mama Rini’s Day!” No wonder google never picks up my recipes based on blog titles like that one! Interestingly enough, I never even gave you instructions on how long to...

These almond scones are probably the best scones I’ve made to date – so good! Ever have the Starbucks Almond Croissant?  Not even sure they still sell them, but back in the day, I would eat one of those as a snack.  Like on the train going to work.  A pre-breakfast if you will. That “pre-breakfast” was 17 points.  Gah.   When Hannah and I were...

Low Point Weight Watchers Meals There are just some days where at the end of the day, I realize I am low on weight watcher points.  That’s when I rely on these low point Weight Watchers Meals. I will continue to add to this list, but here are several of my favorite low point meals.  Enjoy! Side Note:  The Weight Watcher link is available in...

This Winter Garden Salad is the only salad you need this season! This is our recreation of a local pub’s winter salad that was SO good. Hannah’s been on a salad kick lately, so we knew this had to get thrown into the mix to recreate. Salads are not difficult by any means, but it’s easy to make a bad salad, right? This one hits...

My family grew up with Cheez Its, not Cheese Nips.  If someone tries to tell me they are the same, um – not even close!  But these homemade Cheez Its are pretty close to the real deal! Are Cheez Its baked or fried? The original Cheez Its are baked, so I decided to bake mine too.  I found that if I keep the temperature at...

 This is one of Hannah’s favorite recipes because of how versatile it is. The chicken filling can be made into egg rolls, lettuce wraps, or even put over a bed of rice or noodles.  The combination of all of the flavors in this dish is so perfect and savory, but also very filling! As you know, I hate onions – but if you are an...

These Banana Bran Muffins were inspired by my grandmother’s bran muffin recipe. Her original recipe called for a whole cup of sugar as well as a cup of oil. I thought because they were bran muffins that meant they were healthy, and would happily eat multiple in one sitting!  On the flip side, there have been plenty of bran muffins I’ve tried that tasted like...
