Hi all! How was your weekend? Our weekend was nice and relaxing after the busy, fun week last week. I decided today that I can officially eat fall foods now – bring on the pumpkin! and I am so excited about that.
Scrambled egg with 2 Jennie-O lean turkey sausage patties and a sweet persimmon (2 sp).Mid morning we stopped at Starbucks and I got a tall nonfat one pump chai tea latte with cinnamon on top (4 sp).
I really wanted to see if I could put a Pumpkin spin on these Cinnamon Banana Muffins.
I swapped out the applesauce for 2/3 cup pumpkin and subbed 1 Tbsp pumpkin spice for half the cinnamon.
The verdict – super moist spiced muffins that are slightly sweet with hints of banana and pumpkin goodness. I love that they are only 2 WWFreestyle Smartpoints each too.I also made a batch of Healthy Homemade Pesto to make lunches this week and froze the rest for another time.
I am actually super excited for lunch this week after making this Chicken, Butternut, Pesto Gnocchi recipe. I pretty much followed the recipe making a few substitutions.
I used zero point chicken breast versus chicken thighs, used a low homemade point pesto and used kale instead of spinach. I also used 12 oz potato gnocchi then divided everything into 6 servings for 5 SmartPoints each.After prepping for the week, we stopped for lunch at Panda Express.
I had a bowl with mushroom chicken over mixed veggies (5 sp) plus my fortune cookie for dessert (1 sp).The Husband was in charge of dinner tonight. 3 oz grilled New York steak (4 sp), corn on the cob, Taylor Farms Mediterranean Salad (4 sp).
10 Peanut M&M’s for dessert (5 sp)
27 Daily WWFreestyle Smartpoints, 6K steps
