Hi all! How was your weekend? I had such a fantastic weekend kicking off my birthday week. I am not even going to deny it, I know I will be celebrating all week long lol. My goal is to track it all and do my best to balance it out.
This weekend we saw the movie Escape Room – it’s so intense, I really liked it. I also got spoiled today with shopping getting a new jacket, 2 new work outfits, 2 workout outfits and cute mini plates. It was the trade off I made for going with him to the Sacramento Antique Faire.
Before heading out, I had one of these Jimmy Dean Bacon & Cheese Egg White Omelettes. I have only seen them at Sam’s Club and I am so glad they are back.
5 WWFreestyle Smartpoints each.
Served up with an orange.
After grabbing a tall nonfat cappuccino with caramel on the foam (2 sp), I snapped this picture of the sunrise.
It was so beautiful watching this on our drive.
Mid shopping break – 2 Crunchy Chicken Tacos at Vasquez (10 sp).
When I got home, I hot to work prepping for the week. I know it will be a challenging week foodwise with all the celebrations. I want to make sure I eat good for the meals I am not eating out.
Today’s prep included:
- Whipping up zero point ranch using 0% Greek yogurt with hidden valley mix to dip veggies in.
- Instant Pot hard boiled eggs (that I hope turned out because I messed up the seal).
I made this WW Smoky Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili for lunches. I know I love this combination in tacos so this will be delicious.
A batch of the 4 point Banana Berry Muffins.
I also braved whipping up my own version Healthy Instant Pot Buffalo Mac & Cheese.
OMG all – it turned out so good and took only 20 minutes to make!
I kept the Frank’s Red Hot on the light side so I didn’t spice out The Husband.
Creamy & cheesy with hints of tangy heat. The zero point chicken totally adds protein staying power so you really are satisfied with 1 cup for 7 Smartpoints.

I’d Love the recipe for the mac & cheese! I didn’t see a link above. I got an Instant Pot for Christmas… just took it out of the box. It frightens me!
Don’t be afraid Jill, it’s actually much easier than they make it sound 🙂 I was scared too.

Happy Birthday Danica .. I am surprised I didn’t see hot sauce put on the egg white omelet , almost as long as I can remember if you had eggs , they had some hot sauce 🙂 Have a great week and looking forward to that recipe !
