Easy Pot Roast

Easy Pot Roast
Every time I make chia pudding I am reminded how much I love it.  Just remember 3 tablespoons chia seeds per one cup of liquid. I used unsweetened almond milk.  I made this on Sunday and didn’t eat it until yesterday – it takes a couple days to puff up, but will last in your fridge up to a week. My sister and I had...

Ready, Set #Roast Perfect App!

Ready, Set #Roast Perfect App!
When I first met my late husband, I quickly realized he was a meat and potatoes man.  He loved a lot of things, but throw a beef roast on the grill in the summer, or slow cook it in the oven in the dead of winter, he was a happy man. While we had steak growing up, I never cooked it much.  Um, let’s just...

Leftover Beef Asian Lettuce Cups

Leftover Beef Asian Lettuce Cups
I didn’t do a true meal plan this week, because I knew I had plenty of food in my house to make the week work.  Especially after I found six bags of different types of frozen chicken.  I said on my Instagram page that if anyone was in the NW suburbs and saw me looking at chicken in the discount meat pin, they had full...

Weekly Weigh In

Weekly Weigh In
Not shockingly, if you work the Weight Watcher program, it actually works. 😀  I had my planned splurges, which included a giant 20 point lunch on Monday with my Mom and sister, but I balanced it out with a low point breakfast and dinner.  I only went to the gym twice, but I got 10k steps every day except one.  I limited my wine intake...

Love Yourself

Love Yourself
I can’t remember the last time I had an McMuffin for breakfast.  When I was at Sam’s Club last weekend, they had a 20 pack for like $3 – Hannah’s had one every day for breakfast, easy to make ahead and grab and go.  They are 4 points each, but with eggs and 1/2 an ounce of cheese and fruit, breakfast is only 6 points....

Beef Lo Mein

Beef Lo Mein
I’ve had this glitty tank top for over a year and this is only the second time I’ve worn it.  Why?  Because I thought it brought too much attention to me.  I always worry about my muffin top, but you know what?  As my friend Shelley says “when you are in your 50s, you can do whatever you want!”  So I wore it, and guess...
