Pizza Party!

I love pizza. And I can’t imagine living the rest of my life without ever indulging, so I definitely do from time to time. But sometimes when I get a craving I don’t want to spend the points, so I had to come up with an acceptable alternative to hit that pizza spot. I’ve found a couple of different recipes to give me that pizza taste without breaking the calorie bank. Continue reading Pizza Party!

Gingerbread!

Need some new holiday flavor to liven up your oatmeal, pancakes or waffles? I love this gingerbread mixture. So easy to mix up, seal in a container and have it available whenever you want some yummy gingerbread cookie flavor! Continue reading Gingerbread!

Oodles of Zoodles!

I love pasta, but when I started Weight Watchers, and realized just how small a serving size of pasta really is, I began looking for other ways to get that pasta fix without spending so many points. Spaghetti squash was my first foray into pasta swaps, and one I regularly go back to, as well as broccoli slaw. More recently I have also invested in a veggie spiralizer to make summer squash and zucchini into noodles. This was apart of my food prep last weekend, and made for a simple dinner Monday night, so I wanted to share it with you! Continue reading Oodles of Zoodles!

What’s for breakfast??

One of the first big changes I made when I joined Weight Watchers was to start eating breakfast every day. Not ever having been a breakfast eater, my repertoire was pretty small in that area. Over time I came to realize that a decent sized breakfast would help me to stay on track for the entire day; spending a few more points in the morning can set you up for a successful day, especially when your breakfast includes good sources of protein and whole grains. I learned to love egg whites cooked with peppers, onion and spinach; egg white omelets filled with strawberries & cinnamon; veggie & cheese fritattas, and oatmeal. In fact, I have become somewhat of an oatmeal connoisseur, thanks again to Hungry Girl for spring boarding me to many creative ideas. Here are some of my favorite recipes.

Pasta, why you gotta be so carby?

I love pasta. Who doesn’t? But if you’re trying to lose weight and looking for places to cut some calories, this can be a huge barrier. Have you seen the actual serving size of a serving of spaghetti for crying out loud? It’s about the size of your fist (the average person’s fist, not someone with hands like the Incredible Hulk)!
