Happy Sunday all! I am FINALLY back in action ~ I think, fingers, toes and more crossed!
Let me start by saying I MISSED YOU ALL! Seriously, I felt so lost each day not “thinking in blog” about what I cool new product I found, recipe I made or place we went to. I sadly still took my camera everywhere and snapped pictures for a sense of normalcy, I guess LOL.
There are still a few things I am working on with the new design/layout but I am hoping to have them finished up this week. I will definitely be highlighting some of the cool new things I LOVE in a post soon….. I am glad to be back to my dailies (& on track!)….now, let’s see if I remember how to do this.
Every 2nd Sunday of each month The Husband wakes us up at the crack of dawn like a little kid on Christmas morning.
He absolutely LOVES going to the Sacramento Antique Faire. I whip us up egg-wiches on Trader Joe’s FF Multi-Grain Bread for the ride…..(5 points+)
He usually bribes me into going with promises of Starbuck’s to sip and savor as we walk around for hours.
Since it was feeling a little “fall like” today, I ordered a tall fat free chai tea latte (4 points+)
On our way home, we headed to Mary’s Pizza Shack for lunch. I had to try the Minestrone Soup when the server said if you LOVE spicy foods, try this…..um, ok 
I am totally re-creating this soup soon ~ it was smoky, spicy, salty and chunky. (3 points+)
I LOVE their salads and often get them for meals. However, I knew I wanted their Pizza and Salad Lunch combo and went for it.
Side Salad with 1 Tbsp ranch, fork dipped (4 points+)
Then, I moved onto my slice of MUSHROOM PIZZA that was seriously as big as my head…maybe bigger. Glad, I got THIN crust! I am counting it as 2 slices (10 points+)
We spent the rest of the day being lazy and watching the entire season of Expedition Impossible. It totally makes you want to go out and be adventurous….
Instead, we just settled for grilling LOL
BBQ Chicken Legs are one of my FAVORITE things in life. I am not sure if it’s because you get to lick your fingers and get it all over your face or if it’s because they really are finger licking good. I LOVE them and went back for another (5 points+)
Served with 1/2 cup of my Healthier Potato Salad. (3 points+).
Plus a Big MOUND of Kale “Chips”…especially when you get the parmesan crispies. (1 points+)
HERE IS WHAT IS ON THE MENU THIS WEEK

Q’s

I am going to work on catching up with you all this week (emails, comments, etc.) Thanks a million times for being patient as we worked to rebuild my site.
Night all!
I have to tell you how happy I am that you’re back Danica! Not only do I LOVE your amazing recipes,but really enjoy how you share your trips you take and how you deal with the daily challenge of eating out or cooking meals that other people will enjoy but stay healthy and WW friendly. Thank you for working so hard to get your fabulous siter back up and better than ever!
So glad you’re back…. the site truly shows the amount of hard work that you put into it..it is spectacular. I so look forward to finding you in my inbox!! Oh…and thanks for putting the image of mushroom pizza in my brain for the rest of the day… Now I won’t rest until I have a slice… 🙂
Oh, my! Kale Chips and Taco Egg Muffins? Adding them to my to-try list. 🙂
Tech note: When I click on your post title from my e-mail inbox (browsing via Google Chrome), I am unable to access your site. When I scroll to the bottom of your post and click on the “generic” Danica’s Daily link, it opens right up. Not sure if it’s Chrome, or a possible glitch still to be addressed from your site, but wanted to mention it.
Danica,
Sad to say I won’t see you anymore on Fridays at WW as I have a permanent mtg in Fairfield now. However; I look forward everyday to receiving your blog and reading about your food, weight management and husband stories! Remember to please when telling about an amazing new restaurant or food find….tell us where to get it saves me hours of research!! You are an amazing woman and I am so happy to have met you!
So glad you’re back! I’ve missed your egg sammys and starbucks 😀
Welcome back! Your weekly menu looks delicious. I haven’t made one out yet. Yesterday I made my easy Mexican slow cooker chicken and we will eat off the leftovers for tonight!
So good to have you back!! We missed you 🙂 Weekly menu sounds yummy.
Happy you’re back! Unfortunately, my menu for the week is looking pretty drab [busy week at work- teaching]…
Danica!
