Game Day Strawberry Cheesecake Shots

Game Day Strawberry Cheesecake Shots

The big Game Day is soon to be upon us! I was really more interested in deflate gate  than anything cause you know I love me some good scandalous news but since the NFL isn’t going to do anything about the Patriots cheating I guess I’ll settle for getting excited about the snacks! We’ve been invited to so many SuperBowl parties and  the menu’s look absolutely delicious. There’s just one problem though. I’m currently doing Weight Watchers and I’m pretty sure about 90% of what will be served at these parties will use up all my points in one bite.…

Peanut Butter and Chicken Dog Biscuits.

Peanut Butter and Chicken Dog Biscuits.

So Saturday night while out shopping I asked the hubs to stop at Petsmart so I could get the girls some treats. He obliged because well those girls are like our kids and we spoil them to death. I really only ran in to get them a bully stick, but while there I couldn’t help head over to the dog biscuits as our stock was getting rather low and God forbid its treat time and I don’t have any in the house. Treats can be pretty expensive and I’m picky about what I give my girls.I like to get the…

Rainy Day Chicken Noodle Soup

Rainy Day Chicken Noodle Soup

Everybody loves a good bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s honestly a great meal for all ages. Pair it with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich, crackers, or as the song says “with a Soda on the Side”, and you got yourself a great meal! I remember the first time I attempted to make Chicken Noodle Soup, actually now that I look back I’m surprised my husband, then boyfriend, didn’t take off running right then. Let’s just say my soup was nothing to write home about and we ended up ordering take out instead of eating the soup. I would often joke…

Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas

Since I’m back on my health kick I knew I needed something else besides my lean shakes to have in the morning. My Lean shakes are great for when I’m in a rush and I want to have breakfast on the train but now that I’ve been getting up at 4:30am for my morning workouts I have more than enough time to sit down and enjoy something a little more appetizing.  Years ago when I was on Weight Watchers I used to make these Hearty Vegetable and Feta Frittatas. They were my absolute fave and I loved how I could…

Time of the Month Indulgence without the Guilt-Zucchini Nachos

Time of the Month Indulgence without the Guilt-Zucchini Nachos

Will power is something that must be consciously maintained. I’d like to think when I’m serious and focused I can say no to fatty foods, sweet treats, and other things that will ruin my diet. Usually the hardest times for me are during that dreaded week of my period. My will power is usually out the door as all I want to do is sleep, let my bloated belly hang out, and just be comfortable. One thing that I really struggle with is my diet during that week. My body craves fatty foods and all I want to do is…
