YUM! & Weigh In

Hello! First off I had Weigh In today...down .8 yipeee for the scale going in the right direction! :) I am feeling pretty craptastic the past couple of days. Not able to stand, sit, or lay down comfortably so I kinda don;t know what to do with myself. :-/ Hate to be a complainer, but that is my life & a lot of the reason I have been making some EASY eats over here! lol I say BRAVO to not calling for take-out right? :)

Yesterday for lunch-

Tasted JUST like a Whopper Jr. No kidding! 

Dinner was a new recipe that I HAD TO TRY! My Mom use to make us corn fritters and these are not as good as Mom's, but totally satisfied that home cooked comfort taste I was looking for. :) 

LIGHT-AS-A-FEATHER CORN FRITTERS

1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour 1/2 Tsp. Ground Cumin 1/2 Tsp. Salt 1/4 Tsp. Baking Powder 1/4 Tsp. Black Pepper 1/2 Cup Low-fat Buttermilk 1 Large Egg 1 (14 oz.) Package of Frozen Baby White and Yellow Corn Kernels (thawed) 3 Large Egg Whites 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil Pure Maple Syrup (optional) Whisk together flour, cumin, salt, baking powder, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl until blended. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined; stir in corn. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed or with a clean whisk, beat the egg whites just until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter just until blended. Heat 1.5 teaspoons of the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop 12 heaping teaspoonfuls of batter into the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter to make a total of 24 fritters, spraying the skillet with non-stick spray between batches if needed. (Serve with maple syrup if desired - count the extra points). (Serving size = 6 fritters) (Makes 4 servings at 4 Points per serving) (From WeightWatchers Hit The Spot Cookbook – page 67)

Went to weigh in and came home craving ANOTHER SALAD! This time with a piece of lavash bread made into garlic bread with the help of some spray- I CANT BELIVE ITS NOT BUTTER.
