Well this week I learned some things again. We're only dead if we stop learning or growing, right? I learned that Half and Half is only 1 point + for 2 TBS, where heavy cream is 3 pts+. I really like real cream in my coffee, and I'm starving if I just put milk in (probably because there's less fat to keep me satisfied), so we'll see if Half and Half will do the trick for me :) I also decided it's best to save my weekly points for a special splurge- makes it feel more like a treat. Tuesday I made Chocolate Covered strawberries and at 1 pt+ a piece, they're a great treat! Oh, and for those of you following WW- I've added the points values to the Beef Enchiladas, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Taco Soup, Breakfast Casserole, and Tater Tot Casserole :) I try to continue to add the point values as I make them and figure the values :)
So, here's what's on the menu this week! :)
Monday: Meat and Pasta Bake, Salad
Tuesday: Sauteed Chicken and Stir Fry Veggies
Wednesday: Home Group- I don't have to cook this time! ;)
Thursday: Pinto Beans and Corn Bread, Fruit Smoothies
Friday: Chili Mac, Layered Salad
Saturday: Burgers and Dogs, and BIRTHDAY CAKE! (My chickie is turning 2!)
Sunday: Snack Dinner
Thought it might be helpful for you to see my menu as well. I don't have points, but I'll notate if its a WW recipe.
