Things are still going good for us. Kyle is still on the night shift but he's getting used to it and so am I. It's not so hard to go to bed anymore. I just had our sprinklers blown out for the winter today. Luckily, the guy was right across the street and so I called his number and he just drove right on over when he was done with the house he was doing first. If we didn't get the sprinklers blown out, our pipes would've burst probably in the cold temperatures. I think we've already had some really cold nights. Kyle said that he came out to his car after work and there was frost on it! It was really cold today--almost the kind of cold that seeps into your house and makes you chilled to the bone. I love it!
Anyway, we've been trying some new Weightwatcher recipes and here are a couple that proved to be REALLY tasty! I added the point values in case you wanna know.
Burger 'N' Fries: (8 points)
Shape 1/2 cup lean ground turkey into a patty. (I mixed in some grilling seasonings to give it a good taste, otherwise, we think it would've been a little plain tasting). Grill (or broil in the oven) until cooked through. Serve on a toasted (whole wheat) English muffin with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles (basically whatever you like on a sandwich). Cut one sweet potato into thin wedges. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
Spaghetti 'N' Meat Sauce: (6 points)
Brown 1/2 cup lean ground turkey in a skillet. Add 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 tsp each of basil, oregano and garlic powder, and chopped fresh spinach. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve over 1 cup cooked whole wheat spaghetti.
(these recipes only serve one person, so do what you have to in order to make more for a family).
These were soooooo good! I highly reccommend! Enjoy!
