Food!

With the end of Faire came a good hard look at what we had been eating.  I have been working with Weight Watchers for over 24 weeks but during the Faire I lost next to nothing (.4 for several weeks).  I have gone back to being able to food shop on the weekends which gives me a little more time to be able to look at labels, check recipes, and best of all go back to eating fresh!

This was one of the first lunches I made for myself.  It is a total PointsPlus value of 4 and most of that is the cheese.  The smoked salmon was 1 oz which is one point and all the veggies are zero.  I found a wonderful Italian dressing from Walden Farms that has no points and I use it all the time. 

 

While on furlough I also re-found my love of baking/cooking.  I made little treats to share with my co-workers and friends for the last few weeks that included:  Peep-a-boo pumpkin bread, Beer cheese soup, zucchini cakes (like crab cakes only healthier), Hello Kitty sugar cookies, and cheesy corn chowder.

 

Have a great weekend.  Here's a bonus picture from the sun set on Wednesday.
