How about eating some cardboard?

A lot of buzz going around about these crackers.  Why?  Because they are only 1 Weight Watchers PointsPlus for 3 crackers.  Wow 3 crackers!!!

Would you eat one alone?  Heck no!  Although I have never eaten cardboard I can imagine that these puppies would taste just like it.  

  

But, with a fresh tomato from the garden and a little salt and pepper, it wasn't so bad.

But, dipped in my fresh homemade salsa really did it for me.  Yummy!  I know these would be great with some low fat cheese too.  Good find!

Cereal

A few weeks ago my Weight Watchers friend, Deanna told me about some Fiber One cereal that was very low in points.  I finally found some at the local grocery store, but it was almost $5.00 a box and me not being a cereal person in the first place decided not to buy it.  Well guess what surprise came with the Sunday paper last week?

A sample of the Fiber One cereal I was wanting to try.  A 3/4 cup serving is only 2 Weight Watchers PointsPlus and only 80 calories.

I tried some today and guess what?  I liked it!  Of course it would have been a lot better if they added little chocolate squares, but it was pretty good for only 2 points.  So once my samples are gone (I get 4 Sunday papers) I am going to buy my own box.  I think I would even like it for a little snack without the milk.  Good find!  Thanks Deanna and thanks Sunday paper!

Biggest Loser Power Walk DVD Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed!  Thanks to all that entered.

This spring I won a spring training contest at our local Weight Watchers.  I received this as a prize.

The Biggest Loser Power Walk DVD.  I was pretty excited because I love The Biggest Loser workouts.  The excitement quickly wore off when the weather warmed up and I could spend my days exercising doing fun stuff outside with the kids.  Well this week I decided to try this Power Walking stuff out.  Wow, I must say I love power walking!  It was a great workout.  My legs were tingling after the workout was over and all in the comfort of my own home!

So guess what?  I have a Biggest Loser Power Walk DVD to giveaway to one of my lucky readers!

Diet Root Bear Float...

Over and over and over I hear people talking about a diet root bear float, but have never tried one because I HATE diet root beer.  I actually dislike most diet drinks unless it is diet cola of some sort.

At my last Weight Watchers meeting someone once again talked about the diet root beer float.  The next day I had a party at my house.  The person that brought drinks brought a mixture of drinks that included diet root beer.  With permission I put one in my fridge for later use.  Well today I made my first diet root beer float.

 
My ingredients, Diet (barf) root beer and whipped cream (yummy).  I know some use Cool Whip, but this is all I had on hand.

I froze my root beer for an hour before I started to get some ice going on.  I do this with my Coke Zero all the time for a copycat Slurpee.

Added my cream.  The cream is 0 PointsPlus per serving, but I used 2 servings so it ended up being 1 PointPlus.

Blend it up.  I used my little hand blender, but you can use anything you want.  I am thinking a Magic Bullet would come in handy for things like this.

And here you have it a Diet Root beer Float.  Some people love them and eat them everyday.  I tried it and I didn't like it.  (it's the Diet Root Beer, blahh).  

Fat Friday!

Mom's Prize-Winning Zucchini Casserole...

My garden is growing loads and loads of yellow squash and Zucchini.  The hubby and I have been eating it every day, but we were getting kinda sick of the same old squash until I made this....

Yummy!  I ran the recipe through the Weight Watchers recipe builder online and this weighed in as 4 PointsPlus for 1 serving.  The recipe said it served 9, but I am a big eater so I divided it into 5 servings.

You can make it less points if you omit the oil and use Pam and use a low fat cheese.  You can find the recipe Here.  Enjoy!

Turkey Turkey Gobble Gobble...

I have tried so many lunch meats and by far this one is my favorite.  It is my favorite because it is only 60 calories and one Weight Watchers Points Plus for three (yes three!) thick and juicy slices.  Wrap some in a wheat tortilla with lettuce and a low fat ranch dressing, liven up a salad, roll up for a snack or just have a delicious sandwich.  So good!  Yummers!
