Yesterday I helped host a bridal shower for one of the girls at work, man I never realized how much work goes into a shower. I was responsible for a chicken salad and croissants, cupcakes, and a cracker appetizer with bacon. My first thought was to buy cupcakes from a bakery, but when I looked into the cost I almost had a small heart attack when I realized I would be paying $ 36 for a dozen. I don't like to bake and I am not very confident in my baking abilities but I made a batch of wedding cake cupcakes from a recipe on pinterest. They were not diet friendly by any means but they were good, I made sure to give them all away and I didn't save any for hubby and myself. I also made some stuffed strawberries I also saw on pinterest, again this is the picture from pinterest mine were not this perfect looking but they were easy and worth making again. The recipe I chose for the strawberries was cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond extract. I bet it would work just as well with stevia instead of powdered sugar.Tonight I have been prepping the turkey pumpkin chili from skinnytaste to put in the crock pot tomorrow. I am making a double recipe because I am taking some to my in-laws. Almost a month ago my MIL fell and broke her left ankle and left wrist. She doesn't like things that seem weird or out of the box so I am only telling her that it is turkey chili and not pumpkin chili :) Have a wonderful week everyone.
Good for you Katie! Sounds like WW is working for you. Just curious if you still incorporate some of the BFC principles ( very little fruit, no artificial sweeteners,only low sugar products etc.) You should do a post comparing the two with the pros and cons of each. I would love to know how you compare the two. Whatever you are doing, keep it up! XO!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the weight - and those strawberries look good.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the weight loss! I'm interested to know if you are following a lot of the BFC principals, too. The pumpkin turkey chili sounds really good right now....Ssshhhh! I won't tell your MIL that it has pumpkin! LOL!

ReplyDeleteI would like to know if you are incorporating BFC principals in the WW too. I think you eat a lot more fruit and veggies don't you?
Fun ideas from pinterest! The strawberries look yummy!
Just found your blog and I have lost doing WW and eating whatever I want as long as in my points!! I'm amazed and still feel guilty eating sugar and I do need to cut back on sweets because I still feel sugar is very bad!! But been losing eating corn, donuts, bananas, lean cuisine dinners and loving the food!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, should put that I have lost 9 lbs!!!! Use to follow BFC but too many cals for me, so congrats to you too and I will check in here to see how you are doing :-)
