Weekly Weigh-in

-1 lb this week. WooHoo! It's not cause I carefully followed my diet over the holiday weekend :(

My Jacob and Esau

Overhead yesterday ...

Moo Moo -

Only if you promise to be my brother forever and ever and ever and never leave me!

Little Man -

I promise.

Moo Moo -

Okay, you can have one piece of gum.

Menu Plan Monday - May 28

Last Week's hits were Low-Fat Zesty Shrimp and Pasta and Pizza Pancakes. Little Man inhaled both. Moo Moo currently declares all my cooking yucky on site, so his opinion does not count.

Thursday - School Picnic
Friday - Kroger's had marinated pork tenderloins on sale. We had teriyaki.
Saturday - The Man got home early and took us out to dinner at Cheeseburger Cheeseburger. I had the Portabello Mushroom Melt and I enjoyed it but I couldn't get the mushroom to stay in the bun.
Sunday - Grits and crab. I finally picked the crabs the boys caught last week.
Monday - Family cookout today. I brought the diet desserts. Oreo Invasion was yummy but didn't set up well for me. It was a blob instead of a pie. I made it with skim milk instead of soymilk, I don't know if that made a difference. I also made PHILADELPHIA "Fruit Smoothie" No-Bake Cheesecake. YUM! I used all strawberries instead of a mix.
Tuesday - Grilled Bruschetta Chicken recommended by Jodi.
Wednesday - New England Clam Chowder. I love soups.

Grilled Bruschetta Chicken

Thanks to Jodi for posting Grilled Bruschetta Chicken on her blog. It looks so good, I'm definitely adding it to this weeks menu. original recipe from Kraft on their website, but I recommend you view Jodi's post to get her tips on making it fast and easy to prepare. If you are counting, its 4 WW points per serving using Kraft's nutrition info to calculate.

BTW, KraftFoods.com is one of my favorite sources for new, easy recipes. If you enjoying recipe magazine's like me, their Food & Family magazine is free.

Weekly Weigh-in

It's Weigh Day. No change. Probably because I didn't exercise all last week. I stuck to my points after I recovered from my Mother's Day weekend eating disaster but my workout did not recover from my bad eating blues.

The boys caught 11 crabs Saturday that I cooked but forgot to clean so we could eat them.

Thursday - Spaghetti with Venison Meatballs. My kids like eating deer.
Friday - Cookout to celebrate my cousin's graduation from pharmacy school.

Sunday - Day of Rest

My Mother's Day Gift!

5 Minutes For Mom has a contest to win a year's supply of bandages. Too bad it wouldn't help with this:

That's glue on Moo's forehead. After spending 6 hours exhibiting at a fair Sat (we left home at 7:15 in the morning and, yes, the boys were with me most of the day), followed by Little Man's baseball game, I put on my PJ's and crawled into bed at 7:30 ready for my Mother's Day relaxing to begin. It lasted all of 5 minutes! The boys were playing down the street at their friends' house. I heard one of the kids come in and tell The Man that Moo cut his head and he might need stitches. So I yelled out to him from my comfy spot "Don't worry, it probably looks worse than it is!" We got back from the Emergency Room around 10pm. Not a bad trip actually. No stitches, just glue! The trauma has already faded into coolness for my two boys. I just have to keep reminding them that only hospital glue can go on boo boos.
