Our Favorite Quick & Easy Meal

Good Evening!!!

I know another post, 2 in one day, this just can't be hehe! Well I had to post about the dinner we had tonight because it is one of all time favorites and it is soooo quick and easy!

James and I both work retail and we have to close at least 2x a week, so we really try to Cook each night and we are pretty good at it. When we don't we usually have a date night or pick up Chipotle, that's the "worst" fast food we do. When we close we are hungry when we get home and that's our dinner. I know it's late and uncoviental but our bodies are used to it and with work that's  what works for us.

Okay now that I have rambled on and on, I'll get to the food!

This is where my beloved crock pot comes in...

I threw in some chicken breast, roughly 1 1/2-2pds
1 jar of medium chunky salsa 
1 packet of taco seasoning


Cooked on low allllll day. It literally shredded itself when I got home. I had to mix it up and just shredded it right in the pot. It was just falling apart! Oh man I'm hungry again!!

I bought a Old El Paso taco kit, the stand and stuff kit. Added some of favorite toppings..


Shredded lettuce
Tomatoes
Fat free shredded cheese and shredded Mexican cheese
Fat free sour cream
Spicy gucaolme 
 Add whatever you want

Those taco boats are amazing!! I mean true game changer for me. I don't think I will ever get another kit!! 

There was a method to stuffing my boat

Lettuce then chicken, which I weighed out too, a BIG first, normally I eye ball it, then shredded cheese, tomatoes and then a dollop of sour cream and guc.


I may have had a third. So good.

And that was dinner. We were able to eat good and not spend a dime! And extremely little clean up and a crap load of chicken left over which I will be taking to work Friday and Saturday and probably eating Sunday and I'm 100% okay with that!!

The beauty is we make no excuses and I can still eat in my points and not feel guilty!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
