Pinterest has been very good to me lately.

For breakfast today, I made these lovely breakfast banana splits. Holy yum! And if you make with fat free plain Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon honey it is only 4 points. Add 1 tablespoon of toasted walnuts for an extra, very well worth it, point! (BTW, I calculated these points with the recipe builder on the WW site which means extra points are add for what would otherwise be non-point items, like the fruit and plain yogurt).

Earlier this week, we had some AMAZING (not to mention simple) chicken. I have no photos for you because it was gobbled down so quickly. Simply being amazing, delicious, and moist beyond words does not guarantee my red-headed kiddos will enjoy a dish. And yet this was one of their favorites in a long time. We upped the Greek yogurt and parm and cut the chicken into smaller pieces, and the points still were pretty low.

What pinterest fun have you had lately?

Spice it Up!

I've been doing Weight Watchers. There. I said it.

7 weeks. 15 pounds. I feel like a new woman.

The focus of this week's meeting was "Spice it Up!"


SO I thought it was time to get back to my blog and share some SPICE!

Dinner tonight:


Cumin-spiced fish tacos with Nectarine and Scallion Salsa.

I deviated a little from the recipes, leaving the balsamic out of the relish but adding the red onion, jalapeno, red pepper, and avocado from the fish recipe. In the end it was amazing. Unfortunately I couldn't find corn tortillas, so went with basic white wheat instead. Whole wheat would have been healthier (and maybe a tad lower in points), but I've been so disappointed by fish tacos in the past that I didn't want to risk it! I'm glad I didn't. These were amazing. My (very skinny) husband is loving WW as much as I am!
