Dinner

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...

Pan Seared Chuck Roast with Onion Rings You will love this pan seared chuck roast with onion rings. Yes, you read that correctly, I made onion rings!       “Biz, you can’t make a chuck roast on a weeknight right when you get home!”  But I am here to tell you that yes, yes you can!  A chuck roast can go by many names...

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.” ...

Another busy Monday is in the books.  I knew it was going to be steady busy, so I was mentally prepared for it.  Even though I would have rather hung out with my brother and his family before they left last night.  Such is life! I made this quick picky plate for breakfast.  Hannah and Jacob bought cantaloupe last week and hadn’t cut it yet...

The best part about making waffles is that you can have breakfast for days.  I made another waffle breakfast sammie yesterday.  1/2 of my Bolthouse Farms Protein Waffle (3) an egg, spinach, ham (1) 1/2 once of cheese (2) sugar free pancake syrup (1) and tangerines for dessert.   We finally had a nice day in Chicago yesterday!  When Jenn and I went on our walk...

I made a batch of bagels the night before last.  While I posted my skinny bagels in December, lately I’ve just been using my skinny pizza dough for the bagels, skip the boiling step of the bagels, and they turn out just as good. I happened to be watching This is Us (season finale already?!) and I shaped the bagels, brushed them with an egg...
