a little personal... and a delish recipe

Ok so I have started doing Weight Watchers and have been really trying to be creative with the points I am allowed to have... The best thing about their new plan is most fruits and veggies are 0 points! I can eat as much tomatoes, spinach and berries (some of my fav foods) as I want! So today for lunch I had 6 oz of chicken sauteed in olive oil - I am allotted 2 tsp of "good" oil a day - covered in salt, garlic salt and pepper. I sliced it and put it on top of about 1 cup of spinach. Then I chopped up 2 Roma tomatoes and 1 avocado, added 2 roasted garlic cloves and some cilantro. I made it in a seal-able Tupperware so I could use half today and half tomorrow as avocados are kind of a lot of points! I put that on top of the chicken and added a drizzle of balsamic vinegar... and voila!



Since half an avocado is 5 points the total points for the meal was 13 and I was FULL. I also had a sugar free jell-o type thing for dessert.

So hopefully this works for me... I really need to get my act together and this time I think I can do it. :)

In other news, Emily, whom I made the boomerang cake for, is getting married in February and looks like it will work out where I can make her wedding cake! I am so excited and absolutely honored she asked me! I am also SUPER nervous as this will be my first for realzy cake... all the other ones have been for fun and just to see what I could do... But now it will be in their pictures for the rest of their lives!! I will keep you posted on how the planning goes!
