See it wiggle, see it jiggle...


NO, I am not talking about my butt, although it does wiggle and jiggle.  I am talking about Jello!  Did you know you can have a serving of sugar-free Jello for 0 points +?  Boo yaw!

How do we Jazz up this sugar-free Jello?  I tried my Momma's idea and loved it! It is simple just add fruit.

Here's how Momma and I jiggle and wiggle:  One box sugar-free orange jello, one can of "no sugar added" mandarin oranges.  Make according to package directions and add the fruit before setting.  It really makes you feel like you are having something naughty.   You know what I mean?  Like you need a good spanking.


I like to top mine off with some of that ready whip stuff.  Did you know a serving of that is 0 points also?  Hot Dang!  Do you have a favorite jello/fruit combination?  Next time, I am going to have pears and sugar-free, cherry Jello.  Get in my BELLY!

Squishy Squash...


One of the fun things about going over to Momma's house is that she always feeds me.  My mom is the best cook I have ever known.  Lately she has been amazing at feeding me healthy foods.  One of these foods has been butternut squash.  Oh yeah made this momma's girl happy and satisfied! 


Start with your squash.


Cut off the ends.


Slice down the center.


Clean out the seeds and other stringy innerds.


This is where the Fat Lady in me would put real butter and brown sugar, but the new and improved me, ShrinkaDink, puts nothing inside.


Wrap each one in foil and toss in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until tender.  Momma puts a pan under hers in case of drippage, but I have never had a problem.


When done baking, remove foil and fluff up with a fork and scoop the good stuff out into a bowl.


 Squirt some spray butter all over it and salt and pepper to taste.  This 0 points + veggie is so delicious, I could eat it every day!

My Momma Loves Elvis, I love to EAT!



My Mom is in love, I mean IN LOVE with Elvis.  Growing up she always told me about Elvis's favorite sandwich.  Peanut butter with banannas.  Sounded sick to me, but now that I am dieting and banannas are 0 points on the Big W plan I decided to give it a try using low point peanut butter (click on the great find tab under my header to find out where to buy it)

Take a slice (or two for the fat lady in me) of 1 point bread toasted.  Spread a tablespoon of 1 point peanut butter (I use 1 tablespoon for 2 slices) on the warm bread and top it with sliced banannas.  This is a yummy, fulfilling breakfast for only 3 points for both slices.  Elvis tended to eat 12 to 15 sandwiches a sitting! So belly up! haha


I know presentation is everything, but who the H ever eats on a fancy plate when they are trying to get kids off to school?  You'll never see my food desplayed properly, I'm just going to keep it real!
