Fried Margherita Pizza

Fried Margherita Pizza
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...

Cacio e Pepe

Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e Pepe This cacio e pepe is a great weeknight dinner because it’s ready in about 15 minutes.  It’s okay to eat pasta on Weight Watchers! I started feeling a bit achy on Monday.  A bit of a cough, but didn’t feel too bad.  Yesterday at work?  I must have sneezed 100 times and munched on cough drops all.day.long.   It’s the kind of sick...

Simple Naan Bread

Simple Naan Bread
  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
I was expecting to have a productive day yesterday clearing a bunch of little stuff off my desk, but instead, with a couple secretaries out, I became the “go to girl” and it was a busy day.  I didn’t even eat this breakfast until nearly 10:00!  1 1/4 cup shredded potatoes cooked in 1 teaspoon grape seed oil (2), 3 ounces of steak (3) and...

Freestyle Alfredo Sauce

Freestyle Alfredo Sauce
There are a couple things you can never get too many pictures of – for me its sunrises and sunsets!  Oh, and clouds.  And babies.  Well, and food. 😀 I haven’t had Joseph’s brand pitas in while, and since Hannah and I went to Walmart on Saturday and spent nearly three hours because we walked down every.single.aisle. I had kind of forgotten about them, but...

Skinny Pizza Dough

Skinny Pizza Dough
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...

Skinny Bagels

Skinny Bagels
The signs were all there.  Searching for a “looser” pair of underwear in the morning, sifting through your jammies drawer for the extra stretchy pants.  I haven’t worked out in I don’t know how long, the wine has been a staple on my kitchen counter, and those extra licks and tastes (and gummies!) added up. I didn’t weigh in on Saturday because I was downtown,...

Falafel Nachos

Falafel Nachos
These falafel nachos were the perfect way to end a busy day! ++++++++++++++++++++ Hey Andrea – sometimes I wish you were my next door neighbor so I could walk over and ask you fashion advice!  Or maybe can I have your phone number so I can text you before I leave the house?  I’d be texting you at 5:00 a.m. your time though! 😛 These...
