Breakfast

We went apple picking this weekend!!  And by we – I mean me, Hannah AND Jacob!  Which was the inspiration for these pumpkin apple waffles – its like fall just threw up in your mouth in the best way possible. That’s basically how I write recipes – I look online, take something from one recipe, something from another, then throw my two cents in and...

These low point banana muffins are still low in points as of 2023!  Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual for me eat a giant Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffin with a giant Dr. Pepper on my way to work.  In case anyone is counting WW points – that would be 18 points for just the muffin – and that was my “appetizer.”  I’d probably...

The perfect excuse to have tater tots for breakfast - make this tater tot breakfast tart!

I am finally posting my recipe for these mini veggie quiches which come in at 5 smart points and have an actual pie crust.  These will be in my regular rotation for breakfast meals.  They are so customizable, use any leftover veggies you have on hand, and the dough will last in the fridge for up to a week.  The secret to a flakey pie...

I used to subscribe to a dozen magazines.  I loved them!  I remember right after Hannah and Jacob moved in, Hannah looked at my stash of magazines from the previous year – um, that would be 144 magazines, and (made me) suggested that I just donate them or throw them out.  I took them to my local library, and I decided from that moment on,...

Chia pudding has quickly become my new favorite summer breakfast.  The pudding is cold, you can mix it up adding any type of fruit you want.  Here is how I make mine: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (sometimes vanilla almond milk too) but any milk will work 3 tablespoons chia seeds mix – that’s it! I will tell you that I tend to like it...

I love my weekly Weight Watchers meeting.  Even if there is a sub, it’s fun.  We have awesome receptionists, and there usually is some funny moments that make us almost pee our pants.  It just sets the tone for the weekend.  I hadn’t weighed in for two weeks because I was on vacation, and was very happy that I maintained exactly!  +-0.0!!! Per usual I...

Chia Pudding Parfait is one of my new favorite breakfasts, but I somehow forget about it.  It could not be simpler to make – just remember this ratio – 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to 1 cup of liquid.  It could be almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk – whatever you have.  Simple stir in a mason jar, top with a lid and let it...

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 went to Weight Watchers on Saturday knowing I’d have a gain, but I didn’t care.  I need those weekly meetings to get inspiration and I love my leader.  Even the back up leaders are amazing.  I was up two pounds, making me +.6 for 2018.  Hooray for the Queen of Maintenance! But here’s the deal, I haven’t really given this new plan 100% of...
