Meals for 11/18/09

Good Morning friends!:) Today is a nice relaxing day...slept tons better last night!! I am watching some of my Medium shows and doing some laundry...I have dinner in the crock pot and I am back on track today:) For breakfast I had my Kashi cereal with some Almond Breeze:


2 servings Kashi Cereal = 5.5 points
Almond Breeze = 1 point
Total points for Breakfast = 6.5 points

Check back for lunch...and for the pictures of dinner...I got the recipe off of Heather's Weight Watcher blog...check her out! She was a WW leader and she has alot of great things to say! Catch you all later:)

Hey y'all I am back:) Just got done cleaning the kitchen and starting the dishwasher so I thought I would hop online and share what I had for lunch...I was in the mood for something but wasn't quite sure what...I opened my fridge and saw the turkey pepperoni and tortilla and thought maybe I will try making a pizza quesadilla....sooooooo I took out one of my one point tortilla's, some boboli sauce, turkey pepperoni and low fat mozzarella cheese and did just that! I spread a little of the pizza sauce on the tortilla, put 1/4 cup of the low fat mozzarella cheese, 8 turkey pepperoni (1/2 serving) and folded it over and baked it in my toaster oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees...turned out perfect and it was just what I was craving! Here is a picture...sorry you can't really see the inside...it was just enough cheese and pepperoni with low points!!

Tortilla = 1 point
Sauce = 0 points
Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese = 2 points
8 Turkey Pepperoni = 1 point
Veggie Crunchers = 3 points
Total points for Lunch = 7 points

Afternoon Snack:

Almonds = 4 points

How can you beat that?? 4 points for a quesadilla?? And it was very filling! Next time I am going to try microwaving it...just to see if it is any better...the tortilla got a little more crisp than I would want it and I want this to be something I can throw together and take it for lunch when I start my new job:) Don't forget to check back for dinner...it smells amazing!! I just love crock pots!! Ta Ta for now!

Hello!! As I told you all earlier I made the Mexican Crock Pot Chicken from Heathers blog. Scroll up and there is a link you can go directly to this recipe. I am just going to show pictures of preparing it and how it looked when it was done. The only thing I didn't do was run the sauce through a blender..I kind of liked the chunky bits of salsa...:

LOVE these crock pot liners..thank you Heather!! I didn't know they made such a thing!

Salsa, water, taco seasoning, chili paste, garlic paste and cilantro paste

Pour it over the chicken breasts. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. I pulled out the chicken 1/2 hour before it was done to shred the chicken and then put it back in. The meat just fell apart!



Mexican Crock Pot Chicken w/tortilla = 6 points
Corn = 2 points
Total points for Dinner = 8 points

Snack:

VitaMuffin = 1 point

Dessert: Skinny Cow Truffle Ice cream bar = 2 points

TOTAL POINTS USED FOR THE DAY: 28.5!

I really liked the Mexican chicken taco's...it was spicy but not too bad. I am going to go and relax with my hubby and catch up on some of my blogs...have a great night everyone!!
