Main Course

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...

Skinny Pizza Dough How was Skinny Pizza Dough Created? I first wrote this recipe in December of 2017, after I could not for the life of me get the viral Weight Watchers  “Two Ingredient Dough” to work out for me without having yogurt all over my hands, or having to add a shit ton more flour, which basically defeated the whole purpose! With the addition...

This past weekend was the second weekend I’ve had off, but the first one where I had no plans at all.  And it was perfect.  The weather was back to winter, it was cold, overcast on Saturday and super windy on Sunday.  The kadults worked all day Saturday and Sunday so I had the house to myself. I was up at 7:00 a.m. both Saturday...

Stuffed Shells with Cherry Tomato Sauce 2025 Update:  I’ve used so many recipe cards during the last almost seventeen years of this blog, and the recipe card for these Stuffed Shells with Cherry Tomato Sauce was missing from this post, so it has been updated.  I decided to leave the rest of this post as is from 2016. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ I woke up yesterday morning at...

Cincinnati Chili Recipe Not sure if this is an authentic Cincinnati Chili recipe, but it’s delish!  My late husband loved it because it has no beans, but feel free to add some if you like.  As of 2025, this chili recipe is ZERO Weight Watchers points. I am updating this post with a printable recipe card, and updated photography on how we used this chili...

Best Fried Chicken. Ever. Update:  Slowly I am working on updating old posts with recipe cards.  This is the best fried chicken. ever. that I have ever made! I know people think its funny that Tony doesn’t try like much of the food I make.  Whenever he reads a comment that says “I wish I worked with you Biz!” he says “but they haven’t had...

Best Buffalo Chicken Chili Recipe This is the best buffalo chicken chili recipe you’ll ever need.  And Weight Watchers friendly too! The fall after I originally posted this recipe, I started getting emails from people who said they made this chili and it won their office chili cook-off, block party cook-off – as the months and years went by, I was thrilled that this recipe...
