I didn’t really meal plan a full week and nothing I had appealed to me at all.  So I just said “fuck it” and decided to buy my food yesterday. If you guys have a Freshii near you – get this huevos bowl.  I always ask for the salsa and spicy bbq sauce on the side.  I pick out the tomatoes from the salsa (and...

Next time you are at the grocery store, buy Bolthouse Farms dressing to make this bang bang shrimp surf and turf. I picked up a loaf of the 35 calorie bread from Aldi last weekend.  While I love that each slice is only 1 point, it doesn’t make the best toast – a bit too flimsy for these toppings – note to self, spend the...

This buffalo shrimp and grits recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I won’t mind at all that this will be my breakfast three days this week.  I love the everything but the bagel seasoning on the baked potatoes.  I think next time I make this though, I’ll add some protein, this didn’t stick with me until lunch.  Six smart points if you are doing #backto30,...

I had such a fun weekend with my brother and his family. The best part is that we didn’t make a single plan all weekend – I think it was something we both needed – just to hang out and relax.  Since I was staying at my Mom’s house, I wasn’t distracted by laundry, or what I should be doing around the house.  It was...

I had a loss last week!  -.6, but I’ll take it.  Um, maybe there was some leftover wine from the celebration memorial for Jacob’s grandma, and maybe I had wine a couple nights last week.   I am totally fine with it – while the scale is moving slower, today I am wearing a pair of pants that Hannah gave me for Christmas that I couldn’t...

UPDATE:  This post is a couple years old, but I had to update the photography so you guys would try these super easy shrimp and grits.  If you haven’t tried grits before, they are so delicious and microwavable, so this shrimp and grits comes together in 10 minutes.   Do you guys love Dave Chappelle??  Tony and I used to watch his HBO specials all the...

I went to my final weigh in at Weight Watchers on Saturday and was pleased that I gained only .6 pounds during Christmas week.  So in 52 weeks I managed to gain 1.4 pounds – so call me the queen of maintenance!  If you’ve followed me all year, you’ll know I lost 20 pounds the first 10 weeks of 2017 – I tracked like a...

If you have not tried ahi tuna with avocado salsa, it’s so good!  My late husband introduced me to this and I just assumed I hated it and never gave it a chance. My sister and I were able to walk together for about 30 minutes – her schedule was a bit more open than mine, so she walked to my office, met my new...

This shrimp lo mein could not be easier or more delicious! Friday night I posted my dinner on Instagram and Connect, and I got all sorts of messages “recipe please!”  There isn’t really a recipe because there are only four ingredients, but I thought I’d post it here for reference. This is my favorite stir fry sauce – only 1 smart point per tablespoons and...

I know I’ve talked about these Joseph brand pita breads, but I absolutely love them.  The only thing is that next time I won’t try to stuff them – since they are only one point, they are thin, and when I tried to picked these egg white and romaine lettuce pita halves, they kind of fell apart.  I’m not mad about that though – at...
