Team Work…

January 17, 2013 by DanicasDaily 26 Comments

Happy Birthday Eve all!!!  At this time tomorrow, I was officially born….I sure put my mom through a lot of labor that started at 4 am waiting until 8 pm to be born…but, you know, I am pretty sure she would say I am just as stubborn today as I was then LOL.  I cannot wait for all the fun to begin starting tomorrow….

Even though I was running behind schedule this morning, I still took 5 minutes to make Healthy Egg Rolls on the go.

X’s 2!  I always make one for The Husband and he finishes before mine is gone and tells me that I never gave him an Egg Roll….funny guy!

IMG_0773IMG_0775

I line a sheet of foil with a paper towel to keep the tortilla crisp and to keep the hot sauce from running all over as you eat it.  Then, I roll it, wrap it up and take it to go.

This morning I added an apple for good measure….I will admit, I was totally tempted to make juice or a smoothie in the Vitamix with it, but, I resisted the urge. 4 points+

IMG_0782

I headed over to Safeway for a quick grab & go lunch today with my coworkers.  I never realized how many cool choices they have from grab & go salads, to hot soups, sandwiches, sushi and more.

1/2 cup Broccoli Salad ~ I asked the lady if it came with bacon and she said yes….I totally wouldn’t have ordered it if it didn’t (bacon snob that I am!) 4 points+

IMG_0786

Totally delicious Kettle Cooked BBQ chips – 4 points+

IMG_0787

Plus half of a packed Turkey, Pepperjack and Avocado sandwich. 7 points+

IMG_0790

Salty, crunchy, nutty, good ~ Mid afternoon crunch time snacks ~ 1/2 oz. mixed nuts with 3 peanut butter pretzels. 4 points+

IMG_0712

At the end of our day, I was a “team player” at work by participating in a Wine Tasting for the new 1 points+ Light Wine you all saw bottled this week along with a few other new products we are working on.  The hardest part was to remember not to drink it all….

I love how crisp and refreshing the new Light Rose Wine is….it would be perfect at a summer BBQ.

Dinner tonight was a team effort ~ I know all I have to do is mention firing up the grill and The Husband will offer to help Open-mouthed smile

2 Boneless BBQ Pork Ribs with his “secret” sauce – 4 oz. = 4 points+

IMG_0797

My favorite salad to have with BBQ ~ 1/2 cup of Harvest Grain Salad (4 points+)

IMG_0795

The Husband thought the kale we made was collard greens so I just let him go with that thought.  He even went up for seconds which he would never do with kale Winking smile

IMG_0798IMG_0803

He kicked off The Birthday festivities by putting up the Rainbow Light Up Heart he made for me last year.

IMG_0804

I am not sure if I will be back tomorrow night or not, but, I will be back for sure this with a full Birthday recap!  Let the festivities begin…..

Night all!

    Have a Happy, Happy Birthday weekend. Can’t wait for the wine to get to my part of the country. I did see some Geyser Peak yesterday when I was shopping but not any red, only whites.

    I’m excited for the wine to come to Chicago! My husband and I are going to Napa next year for our 2nd anniversary and Mary’s Pizza Shack is on my list of things to do. Your posts of it look soooo good! We’ve never been to CA so are really excited!

      Hi Suzi,

      We launch this wine in the US next month. I am waiting to find out if we will be selling it in Canada too. I will let you know as soon as I hear back, but, my thought is it will eventually be there as we do sell our other wines in Canada now.
