Wednesday Stuff....

Hi Guys! Wow thanks for all of the chicken ideas & waffle ideas too! I gotta say I was excited to test out this one:

 CrinkCut said...

Easiest waffle ever, and loaded with protein:

1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup egg whites, 1/3 cup fat-free cottage cheese, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I use Aria), 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, a shake or two of ground cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract

Toss all ingredients in the blender and blend until everything combines into a batter. Pour into a preheated waffle iron that you've sprayed with cooking spray. Cook for about 8 - 10 minutes, depending on the temperament of your waffle iron. Makes one waffle of the circular variety.

Five PointsPlus for the whole waffle, and it keeps you full all morning! I love it topped with a dab of light whipped butter, a tablespoon of real maple syrup and fresh fruit. Adjust pointage to reflect your topping choices. It's my current favorite breakfast.

WOW! I actually ate the waffle as is...no toppings because I loved the taste of it so much! I bet it would be yummy with honey or even PB2 for a lil extra punch of protein! YUM! Thanks for the great idea Crinkcut! 

All of the chicken recipes sound great too....but I decided on a BBQ chicken salad for lunch yesterday. This is a local BBQ place around us and they have GREAT BBQ sauce! Sold in stores here! :)

 All natural too!

Ok so I know ranch BBQ dressing would have been better....but all I had was some blue cheese....so a mixin I went....humm not too bad! :)

Lettuce, red cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, grilled corn cut off the cob, 3 ounces leftover grilled chicken, peach slices & the dressing I made(above) The whole bowl...and it is HUGE for 7 PointsPlus! YUM! It was good and kept me full for hours!

 Sean's Uncle gave us this melon....

 I've never eaten one of these before!

 It was good! kinda like a cantaloupe but crisper inside. Really sweet! :)

One of Sean's favorite cold-cut is mortadella. His parents went down to Los Angeles to visit family and he asked them to get some of his favorite from a deli that they like down there. First of all I gotta say I LOVE this. I am actually salivating right now looking at the picture and typing about it! lol

When Sean came home with it he wanted me to taste it. I had 2 slices of it and I knew I had to stop myself right there. :-/ I want the whole stack of it! lol Worst part of it is that I am making Sean sandwiches this week for his lunches at work and I gotta remind myself that I don't NEED to eat this.

( I think I can smell it!) lol

 I think I deserve an award for this being in my fridge right now and NOT scarfing eating it! BRAVO TO ME! lol :)


 MOVING ON!!! Food I do eat....lol and enjoy very much! BLTA! Open face style! :) YUM!

Oh I made mini turkey burger sliders the other night! Looks like those sandwich thins...but SMALLER! I had one on a bun and one sans bun. :) Grilled corn, grilled asparagus, & baked "fries" as sides.

Those are yukon gold potatoes that I just washed, sliced into thin rounds and laid down on a cookie sheet sprayed w/ PAM, gave another spray on top of the potatoes, a lil salt & pepper over the tops & baked for 15 min, flipped them over, & baked for about 10 min longer at 425 degrees. :)

Tonight we are headed to Sean's parents for a taco party! OLE! :)  Tomorrow I am going to try out a new (to me) water exercise class. I am nervous & excited all at the same time! :) Whoohoo! :)

Hope you all have a great evening!

BYE! :)
