I was so excited to leave work on time yesterday – it’s been a while!  I knew I had chicken breasts I needed to use up, and my first thought was to make buffalo chicken bites.  While these didn’t turn out anywhere near I thought they would in my head, what I ended up making was COPYCAT LONG JOHN SILVERS.  Yes, I am shouting that...

Mini Cherry Pies Mini Cherry Pies.  Swoon.  And you know what?  There are only 4 ingredients in these mini pies:  refrigerated pie crust, canned lite cherry filling, egg yolk (mixed with a tiny bit of water) for a wash, and a sprinkle of course sugar.  That’s it! And guess where I found the reduced calorie cherry pie filling?  The Dollar Tree – who knew?  1/3...

More chia pudding!  I love that it takes less than a minute to make, and it provides breakfast for a couple days.  5 points for this bowl – damn granola, why do you have to be so many points?! Another super busy day at work – I hope to power through today so I don’t have to stay late again – I have a goal...

I've always loved Schweddy balls, but never thought to make them with chicken.

  Let’s go back in time for a bit, shall we?  Maybe 25 years ago, I ate TWO apple fritters on the way to work.  Then I would get a frappuccino with my co-workers when I got to work.  That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...

I can’t wait to share this recipe for the zucchini bread – it’s a pretty big mini loaf for only four points!  But it’s my next Chopping Block blog recipe, and since they pay me for it, they get first dibs – I’ll be sure to link to it when it’s published!  This was my chocolate zucchini bread version – I could only add 3...

Breakfast nachos were on the menu yesterday for breakfast – so easy and delicious.  Only one tiny problem.  I forgot that I brought home my cheddar cheese that I usually keep in my work fridge – but the day before I tossed it back in my lunch bag.  How can you have any type of nachos without cheese?  Well guess what – you can shred...

This is a 5 point biscuit - but so good - pair with scrambled eggs and fruit - you've got a delicious diner breakfast at home!

I made it the whole week without doing a full grocery shop – whoop!  I think I spent about $5 on fruit (not counting the farmers market yesterday) but that’s about it.  It really makes you use up the food you already have, and I think I could easily go another week without shopping.  But that’s silly talk.  I’ve been gone the last two weekends,...

This grilled pizza needs to be in your life! *********************** I’ve been tracking like a boss this week and guess what?  It’s not been that hard.  When I take the time to put my food together and bring it with me, I am much better at eating what I brought, then if I tell myself “I’ll just pick up something healthy when I get downtown.” ...
