Weight Watchers Update & New Recipe

I fell off. Way off. Deep in the mud and couldn't get back up, off. I took a week off to get my head back in the game. The following week my world fell apart. So honestly, 2 weeks off.
This past week, I tried getting back on. My foot keeps slipping. Like trying to walk on butter. Just almost freaking impossible. But, I'm trying. I refuse to give up. I'm thinking of actually going to a meeting just to have some support. I have none. My husband tries but bless his heart he just doesn't have a damn clue about it.

I did recently come across this recipe that I LOVED! Thought I'd share.

Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms:

Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), crushed
1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
2 cup(s) mushroom(s), small, halved *I used shitake
1/3 cup(s) canned chicken broth
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
Instructions
In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil.

In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the mustard and garlic. Add chicken and turn to coat.

Transfer chicken and marinade to skillet. Sauté chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.

Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 1 minute. Add broth, thyme and remaining tablespoon of vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes longer.

Serve chicken topped with mushrooms.

**I also sliced up a red onion and added it when I cooked the mushrooms.

Seriously, to die for. K loves it and he's not a fan of anything healthy. :)

Weekly Menu

Trying to find something that I like to eat and isn't going to eat up my WW points is hard. Plus feeding a husband that only likes things with booming flavor and lots and lots of calories, is so damn hard.

This is what I've come up with this week.

Beef Fajitas
Sweet and Sour Meatballs w/veggies (maybe?)
Grilled Shrimp
Pork Tenderloin w/veggies
Calzones

I know the calzones don't sound too damn healthy but I've learned I can't cut out all carbs. I start seriously craving them. Baby steps. But, I am using thin crust pizza, skim milk mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni. Lets just hope my husband doesn't notice the difference. lol

Menu This Week

I have been looking forward to the weather getting cooler for a while now. I can actually get in the kitchen and cook again. Now I'm having a hard time trying to come up with things to cook. I get tired of the same thing every two weeks or so.

This is what is on the meal plan for this week.

Home made pepperoni calzones. (no recipe link just pizza crust, cheese, sauce, topping of choice, fold, cook)
Chicken Enchiladas Which by the way, this has to be the best recipe I've found for them. Seriously.
Spanish Rice Bake
Brown Sugar Meatloaf
Apple Butter Pork Loin

I'm tired

Seriously. This tiling shit is for the birds. I haven't sat down to balance the check book, pay bills or plan my menu. But, my kitchen/dining room looks DAMN good! lol

I promise to get all of that done today and get some pics posted. OK I lied I don't promise. My arms are killing me. I dont even have the energy to type this. lol But, I will get it done soon. :)

Menu for the week of 1/10

It's seriously cold here. Totally abnormal for Mississippi. But...it is suppose to warm up to around 60 by the end of the week. I'm trying to plan my menu according to that. Who knows if we'll actually see 60 or not, but I'm hoping.

Sunday: Spanish rice bake. This is one of our new faves. Fills you up and is super quick. Perfect for today since we have so much to get done.

Monday: Chili Figure I'll do this while it's still pretty cold.

Tuesday: Baked Ziti

Wednesday: Lasagna with white sauce. This is a crock pot recipe so I don't have a link to it. Sounded easy and good enough so I thought I'd give it a shot. ;)

Thursday: Pulled Pork

I want something for Friday night but I'm stuck. I'm running out of ideas. I might make a small grocery run at the end of the week if I come up with something.

Weekly Menu

We went to the grocery store Saturday so my menu started a little early this week.

Saturday night was Sesame Chicken with fried rice.

Sunday: Beef and Bean Chimichangas.

Tonight: Spinach Lasagna Rolls. I've had this before but a little different version.

Tuesday: Chicken Fingers w/ IDK yet. lol

Wednesday: Meatloaf. Actually, THE best meatloaf I've found yet. Again with the sides, I have no idea yet. I'll cross that path when I get there. :)

Thursday: Broccoli/Cheese Soup. If I was talented I'd make bread bowls. I might research it by then and decide if I really want to go that route. :)

And that's all I have. Friday we might take my dad out to eat or grill a steak for him. He's coming up this week to lay the tile in my front bath while my husband is at work.
