Okay, darn. This is the second time I've written a blog and it hasn't taken. But I shall not let that dampen my mood because I am young and in love and today is Valentine's day.
So why am I writing this instead of wooing my honey? Because he's doing the dishes while I relax after cooking a wonderful meal. The menu for this evening's fest:
- Beef tenderloin with dijon mushroom sauce (4 points)
- Lobster tail grilled with garlic (1.5 points)
- Baked potato with butter spread and fat free sour cream (3 points)
- Salad with fat free Italian Dressing (0 points)
- Ice water (0 points)
2 servings No Pudge Chocolate Brownie, prepared
1 Tsp warmed Hershey's chocolate syrup
1/3 cup mixed berries
2 Tbs Cool Whip Free
Prepare the brownies as directed. Top with berries (sweeten with splenda if you'd like). Drizzle with warmed Hershey's syrup and top with whipped topping.
Serves 2
Points 2
So for an entire celebratory meal, complete with dessert we're spending 10.5 points and leaving the table stuffed. I would have added a vegetable on top of all of this, but frankly I'm stuffed.
Of course that's not the highlight of the weekend, but I did want to show you that you can enjoy a really nice, "normal" meal that tickles your tastebuds and leaves you satisfied while still staying on program. I know a lot of people say "Well it's a holiday and how many holidays do you have in a year?"
Well...try dozens. So that's dozens of excuses to go off program? I think not.
Tomorrow we're heading to Seattle for a weekend out. We're staying at the Westin and seeing "A Chorus Line" at the Fifth Avenue Theater. Sunday we'll wake up and have a nice breakfast and then see the ever-romantic Harlem Globetrotters.
Hey! I like the Harlem Globetrotters!
We're seeing them because my honey heard me say "Oh that would be fun! Remember when we saw them when we were kids?" I also mentioned "I would have liked to have seen A Chorus Line, but I'm glad we saw "The Producers" instead."
You can't say anything around that man!
He's definitely a keeper!! I love him more than anything.
I am a very lucky girl.
And tonight...well, he's a lucky guy too.
