Delicious new food adventures!

Good evening friends! Well, I have only good news to report! Since Wednesday I have stayed within my daily points range EVERY day! I am simply taking it one day at a time, and it's working. I am feeling great, and VERY motivated! In my last post I said I'd be back to share some of my recent Weight Watchers friendly recipes....so here I am. :) I also have some lovely pictures of my meals to share! My most recent food adventure is WW friendly chalupas!!! YUMMMMM. They were delicious, and the idea was courtesy of my wonderful boyfriend. So thanks, honey! See picture below.

Don't these look SO good? Well they were. Here's the receipe:

2 Mission BAKED Tostada Chips (serving is 3 chips for 3 points, I used 2 chips for 1.5 points)
1/4 cup fat free refried beans - 0.5 point
1/4 cup fat free cheddar cheese, shredded - 1 point
3 oz ground 96% lean ground beef (with low sodium taco seasoning) - 3 points
1/2 cup each (or whatever amount you like) lettuce and tomatoes
2 tbsp picante sauce
Total of 6 points!! Now you can also garnish with sour cream if you choose, and I chose to add 1/8 of a medium avocado. This was so good! So good in fact that my honey and I enjoyed leftovers two nights afterwards!! (You can also use the leftover meat, lettuce and tomatoes to make a low point burrito, which is what I did for lunch today).

The above picture is my Chicken Teriyaki stir fry with 1/2 cup of brown rice, also delicious!

The stir fry cooking up!! Here's the recipe:

10 oz chicken breast, cut into pieces

One head of broccoli

Asparagus

Snow peas

Match stick carrots (which I forgot to put into my last batch so you don't see them here)

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (I use Kikkoman original)

Saute your chicken with 1 tsp of olive oil. When chicken is almost done, put in veggies and an additional tsp olive oil. When veggies are tender, chicken is cooked through add teriyaki sauce and mix well. Serve 1/3 of your pan over 1/2 cup of brown rice = 7 points! A great low point dinner!

This is my honey's AWESOME chicken and veggie kabobs!! They are DELICIOUS and very low points! Just use the amount of chicken you want, choose your veggies (we used squash, zucchini, mushrooms, red bell pepper, purple onion and tomatoes). They just looked so pretty I had to take a picture. Season however you like!

Ok I'm wrapping this up so I can watch a movie with my honey. Taking this one day at a time has been key to getting back on track this week. And the best part is, all of the food I've been cooking has been so fresh and delicious that I haven't even needed to use any of my "extra" 35 points. :) :) :)

I'll be back soon to tell you more about what I've been eating lately - including VitaTops!! So good! More later. Thanks for reading and until next time, happy eating!
