The black bean burger recipe I posted on Friday?  Has morphed into so many things.  I made these southwest egg rolls that were so good.  No real recipe – I took 1 cup of the black bean burger mixture and combined it with a cup of chopped rotisserie chicken breast, a couple tablespoons of my salsa roja, and then air fried them for 4 minutes...

Kung Pao Sloppy Joes You will love these Weight Watchers friendly kung pao sloppy joes! Today is Day 1 of working from home.  I normally get up between 6:20 and 6:45.  Which means my alarm is set for 6:20 but I don’t actually get up until 6:45 after hitting snooze three times! Today I woke up at 7:45.  Jacob works from home so the coffee...

I made a batch of my friend Ed’s biscuits, and they have been on repeat all week.  I love a biscuit breakfast sammie! Yesterday was a bit different.  I had an 11 call with a potential new campaign, and what was supposed to be a 15 minute call turned into 45 minutes.  I had clocked out for lunch at 11 and was back at my...

Skinny Pizza Dough Naan UPDATE!  This skinny pizza dough naan recipe was posted in 2020, and for some reason I never put a recipe card in this post.  Sorry about that!  Love that these naan are Weight Watchers friendly too! When two-ingredient dough (equal parts nonfat Greek yogurt and self-rising flour) first gained popularity, I wasn’t a fan. The dough was overly wet, required far...

Spicy Avocado Chocolate Truffles November is National Diabetes Awareness Month.  This month I am partnering with the Haas Avocado Board – Love One Today, to show how you can incorporate heart healthy avocados into a sweet treat like these Spicy Avocado Chocolate Truffles. When I told my son-in-law Jacob that I was adding chipotle peppers to these truffles, he nearly threw up in his mouth....

My sister and I had the chance to meet a fellow WW who was in town to visit her daughter from out of town.   Nancy actually found me through my friend Tina – Nancy was Tina’s 5th grade teacher!  She was so awesome, spunky, down to earth and reminded me a lot of my Mom.  She’s been a retired teacher/school administrator for the last 7...
