Cacio e Pepe

Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e Pepe This cacio e pepe is a great weeknight dinner because it’s ready in about 15 minutes.  It’s okay to eat pasta on Weight Watchers! I started feeling a bit achy on Monday.  A bit of a cough, but didn’t feel too bad.  Yesterday at work?  I must have sneezed 100 times and munched on cough drops all.day.long.   It’s the kind of sick...

Simple Naan Bread

Simple Naan Bread
  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
I was expecting to have a productive day yesterday clearing a bunch of little stuff off my desk, but instead, with a couple secretaries out, I became the “go to girl” and it was a busy day.  I didn’t even eat this breakfast until nearly 10:00!  1 1/4 cup shredded potatoes cooked in 1 teaspoon grape seed oil (2), 3 ounces of steak (3) and...

Sausage Stuffed Chicken Parm

Sausage Stuffed Chicken Parm
Sausage stuffed chicken parm will be on the top of your recipes you need to make. While I didn’t fully meal plan this week, I definitely meal prepped.  Some weeks the meal plan comes to me in minutes, and other times I struggle to come up with ideas – and all I do is look at food, Pinterest, blogs, you would think that it would...

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Be sure to scroll down for my buffalo chicken pizza – it’s so delicious!  This recipe uses my viral skinny pizza dough recipe. I hope you make a batch of these biscuits this weekend.  They are so good!  And I also thought that if I drizzled the top with just a touch of brown sugar and put it under the broiler and making a strawberry...

Chicken and Waffles

Chicken and Waffles
It started out rainy, but warm #win!  By the time I got downtown, it stopped raining and it was near 50 degrees.  The river was still partially frozen, but it was a glimpse of spring and it was a glorious walk to my office from the train station. These muffins.  OMG.  I am posting the recipe for these tomorrow, but they taste like a potato...

Homemade Naan

Homemade Naan
Good morning!  The blog might look a bit different today, because I’ve changed the theme and over the next few weeks, it might look a bit every.single.day.  But I was looking for a cleaner look, and organized a bit better, so bear with me through this blog renovation. 😀 Over the weekend I made a batch of naan bread.  If you’ve never tried a yeast...

Skinny Empanadas

Skinny Empanadas
If you are on Weight Watchers connect, there are several members who somehow are trending every.single.day – I don’t understand why a handful of people always get the same recogniztion day after day, when I see other people who are killing it and get no attention at all.  Such is social media, right? A member called “Mudhustler” has a recipe for a Big Ass Waffle...

Chicken Marsala Meatballs

Chicken Marsala Meatballs
It’s funny living in the midwest when you feel that 30 degrees is so warm, but that first day in October or November when we dip into the 30s, we are like “it’s so fricken cold! Why do I live here?”  But have subzero temps, it was a joy to walk to the office in 30 degree weather. I plan on posting my take on...
