Trying to be creative...

Im still struggling with getting past this 24.6 lbs. its annoying. I need to try new things.

Today, i made pasta with peas and balsamic dressing. The pasta is the new portion ones. I saw them on tv and had to get them. It cooks in 3 min. Its 8 points for the whole portion, but i just used a cup of it. I believe its a cup and a half.

I cut up a pear and took 2 kims ricecakes with chocolate. Those are from fairway and are sooooo good!

I need ideas for new meals :) help me out .....

CORRECTION ON LAST POST....

so my mom told me to correct part of the first recipe i shared...

when you pre heat the oven, its at 200..and dont let them totally melt, its to to heat them up so that when you push the tip of the hug down, its not totally melted!!

sorry for the confusion =)

hope everyone had a great day !!! XOXOX

HEY EVERYONE!!!

i apologize again for the lack of writing! last week was a really crazy week for me at work and at the end of the day, i just cant wait to hit my bed HAHA... but i have so many things to share with you guys.

hope everyone had a great Easter/Passover weekend... i made some really good things with my mom and they were a BIG hit at the table =)

lets see...where do i begin...

the first thing we made was for dessert-- there really is no name for them but they were so simple..

you need Snap Pretzels, Hershey's Hugs, and M&M's

First, you lay the pretzels on a sheet with the Hugs on top of each one. 

Second, you put them in the oven heated at 325, and leave them in there for about 3 minutes. 

When you take them out, you place the M&M's on the point of each hug, which will them push down into a flat shape. 

The put them in the fridge or freezer so that they harden a little. 

IT'S REALLY THAT EASY!!! Points Plus Value = about 1 1/2. 

SO GREAT FOR EVERY HOLIDAY!!! =)

The next thing we made was another dessert. These are Weight Watcher Approved DEVIL DOGS!

for this one you will need 1/2 cup egg whites, a packet of the chocolate WW smoothie (2), LITE cool whip (1), and seram wrap 

OK! i know there is a lot going on here with the pictures, but i wanted to show you a step by step of this one. 

First, you mix the egg whites and the smoothie mix together. Your going to fry it in a pan just like a pancake. 

Once both sides are done, let it cool for about 5 minutes. After its cool, spread 2 TBSP of the cool whip on the entire thing. 

Next, Roll it and wrap it in seram wrap, and refrigerate until its ready to be served. 

Each long roll is 3 points. We cut them into 6 pieces to serve, so 2 pieces cut would be 1 point. 

They are DELICIOUS!! 

One of my FaVoRiTe things...

SUSHI!!! but i rarely eat fish ones, usually vegetable =)

today i went with my mom to one of our favorite places for lunch. they have a great sushi special for lunch which is 2 rolls for $8.00 and it comes with soup and salad. now these rolls come with 8 pieces instead of 6, and i was not prepared for that. so it left me with less points for dinner tonight, but thats ok. i just have to deal. ( i could have easily ate only 6 pieces from each, but ahh the hell with it!)

i love getting a avocado roll and a sweet potato roll. 

so for 16 pieces of sushi, it was 11 points. the soup is 2 points, and the salad dressing is 2 points. 

if your a sushi lover, its worth it =) 

i just have to eat on the light side for dinner. 

but i do have to say, i did come home and do my PUNCH! work out because it was kind of chilly out today and my allergies were killing me. so i did a 30 min workout. 

EnJoY DiNnEr EvErYoNe ! =)

Good Morning...

good morning everyone!

this morning i made one of my favorite creations that had been given to me. im not sure if i have mentioned this, but my mom works for weight watchers. her and all of her friends are always coming up with different ideas and this is one of that that has stuck with me.

its called the Oatmeal Pancake!

its very simple, and only takes about 5 minutes to make, not even.

you need 1/3 cup of eggwhites (0 points), a packet of oatmeal (or in my case, Weight Watchers Oatmeal) (3 points), and a few sprays of cooking spray (no more than 5 sprays for 0 points).

you take the oatmeal and mix it in a bowl with the eggwhites..pour it into the pan and kind of even it out so its easy to flip. 

 this photo shows it after the first flip. i usually flip it a few times because i like both sides to be semi dark =)

once it is done, you top it off with a little sugar free syrup, and its ready to eat! 

This is Seriously one of the easiest and delicious things to make in the morning! 

this pancake is only 3 points! plus whatever the syrup is =) 

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

Props to Bethenny Frankel because she is hysterical and I love her show, personality, and everything about her. 

and the WiNnEr is ...

i just got back from applebees and i totally changed my mind on what i was going to have. since i have tried the chicken and the shrimp meals from WW, i decided to go for the steak meal. it was AMAZING! its called the cabernet mushroom sirloin. for 12 points, it was extremely filling and i am so satisfied with my decision.

after all of my walking today, i gained 6 activity points, which is pretty awesome =)

there are mushrooms and onions under the steak. it was so good! i highly recommend it =)
