Sad News:(

Hi guys. I’m gonna make this a quick post. I just got some sad news – my old college roommate’s dad passed away, so I’m a bit distracted. Here’s a rundown of the day…

Breakfast was 1/2 c. TJ’s Nonfat Greek Plain Yogurt (I don’t like plain, but I added a bit of Splenda and it was great), 1/2 c. Kashi Go Lean Crunch and 1 c. sliced strawberries for 3 POINTS. This took me a while to eat and held me over for hours…

I went out to lunch with Mom and Gram at a local diner. I ordered a salad with chicken, bacon, mandarin oranges, red onion with a raspberry viniagrette (I used the “dip fork” method). It was a small serving (well, an appropriate serving!) so I estimate it at 5 POINTS…

Afternoon snack was a Bluebran Vitatop and grapes for 2 POINTS…

I tried an interesting recipe tonight involving this…

I got the inspiration from this old Weight Watchers cookbook that I picked up at the Used Book Sale last weekend…

I reworked the recipe so much that I guess I can call it my own now! It was Polenta with Smoked Gouda and Mushroom Sauce….

It was 8 POINTS and out of this world good! I have leftovers, so I will be eating this again. I’ll post the recipe the next time for you all

For dessert, another serving of Chocolate Banana Cake with Cocoa Glaze…

One word of advice about this “cake”- don’t overbake it! Mine was cooked a little too long and it’s more on the dry side. If you try it, start to check for doneness around 18-20 minutes. It doesn’t take that long to set up and it’s definitely better when it’s moist! Dry cake sucks

Sorry to rush through this. See you tomorrow =)
