20 Minutes or less!

by DanicasDaily on February 6, 2012

Happy Monday all!  I told The Husband I am going to try to do my post in 20 minutes or less….Think I can do it?! Here I go…….

Today started off with two more Taco Egg Muffins.  MMMM, I am pretty sure I could never get tired of these.

4 hours later, I was ready for a snack ~ I had a banana and a perfectly hard boiled egg.

Do you all remember last year when the folks at Weight Watcher’s came out with the Fresh Meals?!  Well, they have updated the line to add 5 new flavors and sent them to me to try.

All 5 new Fresh Meal flavors can be found in the fridge section at your local grocery store.  I am usually not a fan of boxed meals, but, I LOVE the idea that their are fresh meals with REAL ingredients.

Today’s choice was Teriyaki Chicken over Brown Rice.

6 points+ for the entire box.

I have to admit I had visions of this HUGE bowl of rice with grilled teriyaki chicken like you would get at a Japanese Food place ~ ok, maybe that was wishful thinking Open-mouthed smile

The flavor wasn’t bad and I like that they grilled their chicken which made it taste smoky.

Served up with a salad topped with Won Ton Crispies & 1 Tbsp Newman’s Lite Lime (2 points+).

Mid-afternoon I reminded myself why I ALWAYS measure out my nuts and take them in a separate container versus bringing the entire can with me……

I portioned out 2 points+ worth, then, went back for 2 more points+ twice. The funny party is I totally made my tongue all funky from the vinegar on the Salt & Vinegar almonds but it didn’t stop me LOL.

When I walked in the door, The Husband had dinner on the table!  He turned the Kale, White Bean & Kielbasa recipe into one delicious 4 points+ Slow Cooker Soup Recipe……Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing this recipe soon too!

Simple side salads topped with 1 Tbsp TJ’s LF Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette (1 points+)

you know…I have never even seen those meals around here…maybe they have them at at Walmart. I like the low points and sometimes, you do need a quick convenience food…this would do the trick. Maybe the will make it to the East coast this time around.

I totes am the same way- I have to portion out my nuts [and nut butters] or else I’ll eat the whole jar!

The slow cooker soup sounds great! I can’t wait to see the recipe!!

I tried your slow cooker steel cut oatmeal recipe. I’m not a huge fan of steel cut oats normally, but I really, really like how it turned out in the crock pot. I didn’t cook it as long as your recipe called for, so there would be some liquid and the oatmeal wouldn’t overcook during reheating – which did work great. I was surprised how well this turned out! This really lends itself to all sorts of variation with different fruits. I divided it up in my containers and many have been put in the freezer for future breakfasts. Thanks for sharing!
