Fab Find: Progresso Light Soup

I love soup! I seriously love soup, I can eat it everyday if I could and some weeks I seem like I am. I think it is a perfect meal. I sometimes pair soup up with a sandwich, salad, or just some crackers. The one thing about canned soups that get me, is the serving size. On the can it calls for about 1 cup is considered a serving size. I find it annoying to measure out a cup of soup, then put it away. I mean I would do that if I had too, but usually because I use soup as my main meal, I make the whole can and eat it that way. This is why I love Progresso Light Soups because a full can is light and filling and you don't feel heavy even if it is a cream based soup. Progresso Light has so many different variations and they are the only soup endorsed by Weight Watchers. Each LIGHT version has the Points Plus value on the outside of the can and they range from 1-2 points for the serving size. For a whole can it depends. I usually count the can as two serving sizes.

My new favorite is also a new flavor to the light variations.

I made this for lunch the other day. One cup is 2pp and the whole can is 4pp and for a lunch that is a nice points plus value. I paired the soup up with some Saltine Whole Grain crackers and some grapes. I know from my WW meeting a lot of people add some veggies or barley to the soup to bulk it up and give it more substance. This one I felt had a lot of substance, hunks of chicken, tomato and spice. It was cheesy which is something I adore. I sprinkled some pepper to give it a little kick and it was delicious.

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

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

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
