Happy Biggest Loser day all! I can’t believe it’s time for the FINAL FOUR tonight, but, at the same time, I can’t wait. I am totally CHEERING on both PURPLE GIRLS ~ They have been my favorite from the start and I want them both there in the end.
Honestly though ~ every single one of them looks amazing and every time I watch, I want to get out there and work out harder….M-O-T-I-V-A-T-I-O-N!
My pre-workout 5 am snack was a banana berry bowl with a 1 points+ Jennie-O Lean Turkey Sausage.
I rocked another C25K jog/walk! Speaking of 5K’s ~ If anyone in Atlanta wants to join me for the Weight Watchers Walk-It Challenge, we are doing a 5K in Atlanta on 05/22 ~ email me!
Post workout ~ Two delicious Taco Egg Muffins (5 points+)
Today we celebrated my co-workers birthday at lunch. I was pretty excited when she picked Café M because I LOVED it so much the last time we went.
The BEST thing about having lunch with co-workers is when they want to share with you so you can try more than one thing 
I was a little bummed that what we picked just wasn’t tasty enough to be worth the points+. I think they are probably known more for their breakfast, salads & burgers.
Half a Chicken Quesadilla….(7 points+)
Entrée #2 was just ok ~ really dry without too much flavor…we split this Turkey Club (no mayo) and I had a small handful, about 10 fries. (8 points+)
I was really glad when we divided the birthday treats into small bites so I could have a taste without blowing my points+ budget. My pictures make them look big, but, they really were just bites lol.
1 Brownie Bite (2 points+)
Lemon Bar Bite (2 points+)
When I got home, I had one of the COOLEST PACKAGES I’ve ever received in the mail
Last year the folks at Creative Homeowner contacted me to ask permission to use some of my recipes in their Char-Broil America Grills Cookbook! Of course I said YES!
You all know I LOVE my grill and not just because it means less dishes. I couldn’t wait to share the news with you all and now I finally can.
The BOOK is finally out and they printed my recipe ~ yeah!!!
This America Grills! Cookbook is AWESOME ~ it has a full color picture for EVERY SINGLE RECIPE along with the sides and I guarantee they will have you drooling. As we were browsing it tonight, we were pretty much like, I want that and that and that……..
I LOVE the description they used to describe Danica’s Daily ~ how true it is!
They had chefs test out all the recipes and professional photographers stage it/take the pictures. It looks so good (actually all the recipes in the book look amazing!)
They used my Creamy Grilled Chicken Marsala, but, I want to use their picture now LOL.
SO COOL! Yes, I totally geeked out seeing my name
Just when I didn’t think I could be more excited, I saw the index
I LOVE My MOM! When I told her I was officially “published’ in a real cookbook, she went out and ordered the book, then, texted me asking if I’d sign my page in her book
For those interested in buying the book, click HERE. I will be hosting a giveaway soon so you can win a copy for yourself too!
I WISH I was cooking tonight because I would’ve totally grilled to celebrate LOL. But, we are working on being less wasteful so we had delicious leftovers.
Super Cheesy Mini Meatloaves (7 points+)
1/2 cup Healthier Potato Salad (3 points+)
Pile ‘O’ Mixed Greens topped with 1 Tbsp Fat Free Balsamic (0 points+)

I love my grill because somehow after a very long winter of “casseroles”, “comfort food”, “slow cooker cooking”…it seems food just tastes fresher and better cooked (and eaten) outdoors. It helps that you can burn the paper plates while you roast your marshmallows for dessert ;0)
Congrats, Danica!!! So proud of you!!!
Congratulations – that’s awesome! I love my grill because… it means my husband is doing the cooking. 🙂
Major CONGRATS, Danica. Now I’d like to see an entire cook book with your recipes. If Hungry Girl can do it over and over, so can you! I’m with you, grilling means no dishes! That;s why I grill the chicken, the veggies, fruit and corn all on one BBQ
congrats, girl!!! that’s so exciting!!
