Taste of Home VS Weight Watchers

-
The year before last Mark got me the Taste of Home simple and delicious cookbook for christmas. The recipes all look amazing! The only thing i am doing, is making them all weight watchers friendly! Here are the recipes i have made and the point value...

 Asparagus Chicken Sandwich-6 SP whole sandwich
The sauce includes: sour cream, lemon, garlic, paprika, parm cheese, dijon and Italian seasoning. Add tomato, asparagus, and 4 oz of chicken to each sandwich. 


 Creamy Italian Chicken-9 SP for 1 C chicken
Easy crockpot meal! Raw chicken, dry Italian seasoning (i use the one to make a dressing), water, cream of mushroom soup and cream cheese. Serve with what ever you like. Im a pasta girl! 


 Mexican Chicken Alfredo-6 SP for 1 C
By far my favorite meal in the whole book! I have made this more times than i can count! SUPER EASY! Pasta, alfredo, chicken, onion, parm cheese, salsa and taco seasoning. 


Spinach Pizza-8 SP whole pizza
Flat out crust, alfredo, spinach, tomato and moz. 


Pizza Grilled Cheese-7 SP whole sandwich
Bread, red sauce, pepperoni and cheese of choice.


  Tater Tot Taco Salad-14.5 SP for the whole plate
Ground turkey, taco mix, cheese, tater tots, salsa and sour cream. What ever veggies you want, i did lettuce and onion. 


Kielbasa Tortellini Alfredo-9SP for 1 C
Holy Yum! Another great one. Tortellini, kielbasa, red pepper, tomatoes, and alfredo. 


Chicken Melt-9SP whole sandwich
Cinnamon raisin bread, cheese of choice, and chicken/turkey. You can put on a spread, i chose not to on this one. 


Speedy Sheppards Pie-Not WW friendly!
So this one i was going to make WW friendly, however my fiancé wanted it, so i made it "real." Ground beef taco seasoning, creamed corn, mashed potato and cheese. WW friendly i would have done ground turkey, corn, and mashed cauliflower. Maybe next time! 


I have 6 more recipes picked out from the book to make WW friendly this week! Will be sure to put those on here once they are done! 
Yum Yum

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
