My favorite recipe blogs

OK, so my three month subscription/membership to Weight Watchers expired last Friday.  I fully intend on doing a post on my experience... probably by the end of this week, but despite the fact that I'm technically not "on" Weight Watchers anymore does not mean that I will go back to my old ways of eating.

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I found two AMAZING blogs that were absolute life savers to me as I was adjusting to the new way of eating.

www.skinnytaste.com

www.eat-yourself-skinny.com

Why do I love these two ladies and their blogs so much?  Well, it's because they have amazing, flavorful and exciting recipes and they have already figured the Weight Watchers Points out for you, which is even more enticing to me now that I don't have the Recipe Builder on the Weight Watchers website anymore!!!  If you haven't already checked them out you absolutely should... even if you aren't on Weight Watchers.

We tried this one last night, and it was great!  I think next time I'll add some more spices, or possibly some garlic, and I'll probably leave the grated cheese off the top, but I always try recipes "as is" the first time around. It was especially great with the Chardonnay we had open from the night before  :)

Here is my list of recipes from their websites that I intend to try next... I have the ingredients for all of them... I just have to pick a night, and for a couple of them, pick a main dish to go with them!

Zucchini Pancakes (SkinnyTaste.com)

Happy Tuesday!!!  What's on your menu this week??

Last Night's Dinner

via

So, last night, J and I had Chicken Rollatini Stuffed with Zucchini and Mozzarella from SkinnyTaste.com.

If you are looking for a healthy dinner with AMAZING flavor, I would definitely check this out!!! It's not the easiest meal to make, but the little bit of extra work and effort is WELL worth it.  I found the recipe a little confusing, but in the end, the meal tasted great so ultimately I don't think we messed anything up  :-D

I absolutely love every one of Gina's recipes I've had so far, and this website has been a lifesaver throughout my (nearly) 3 months on Weight Watchers because she has everything categorized and all the points counted for you!!  This has instantly become one of my most favorite recipes and I will definitely make it again!

Menu Monday

After a week of carbo loading (and upset stomachs) last week, I'm back on Weight Watchers for that remainder of May.  We got a grill last month and the weather has been great so it's great to be able to throw some stuff on the grill for dinner!!  Work is also settling down a little this week (I only have to really work late once this week) so I'm looking forward to getting back in the kitchen and cooking.

Monday - Turkey Spinach Salad

Spinach, Red Onion, Avacado, Turkey (lunch meat), cherry tomatoes, and a little bit of dressing... great salad!

Tuesday - Steak, Sweet Potato, Corn on the grill


Wednesday - Chicken Rollatini with Zucchini and Mozzarella from SkinnyTaste.com

Thursday - ???

We are heading up to my parents' house on Thursday after work so we'll find something

Friday - Ball Park Food 
At the Fort Wayne Tin Caps game for J's Birthday
