			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Friday Eve all!&#160; It was so fun today to read about all the ways you all have been TV Stars on <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/serious-tv">yesterday’s post</a></strong>.&#160; I think it’s so cool that I know so many “famous” peeps! </p>
<p>This morning I woke up and knew EXACTLY what I wanted for breakfast ~ I LOVE it when that happens.&#160; I think when you have really good natural peanut butter on delicious bread, like Bay Muffins, you need nothing else (other than maybe banana “chips” on top!) (7 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_4387_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_4387_thumb" alt="IMG_4387_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_4387_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>I was so glad I packed a <strong>“fast” </strong>lunch since we only had about 20 minutes for lunch.</p>
<p>Today I had the other Trader Joe’s Egg White Salad with Chives.&#160; The <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/just-a-few-of-my-favorite-things">same rule applies</a></strong> ~ it is 1 points+ for 1/2 and 3 points+ for all.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3583.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3583" border="0" alt="IMG_3583" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3583_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>The thing that makes it so COOL is that it really is this bright fluorescent yellow!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3591.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3591" border="0" alt="IMG_3591" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3591_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Rounded out with a bunch of circles ~ Trader Joe’s Salt &amp; Pepper Crisps! (3 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3584.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3584" border="0" alt="IMG_3584" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3584_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Powered up with a Cabot LF Pepper Jack Snack (1 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3587.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3587" border="0" alt="IMG_3587" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3587_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

<p>Then a few Salt &amp; Vinegar Almonds ~ partly because I was still hungry from eating <strong>SO FAST</strong> and partly because ummmm, I LOVE them! (2 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3593.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3593" border="0" alt="IMG_3593" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3593_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>When I walked in the door, The Husband was hard at work on the grill <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile1.png" />&#160; I LOVE it when THAT happens…..note to self……</p>
<p>4 oz Grilled Tri-Tip with his super secret marinade (4 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3594.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3594" border="0" alt="IMG_3594" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3594_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Wednesday all!&#160; Thanks for sharing all of <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/just-a-few-of-my-favorite-things">your favorite things on yesterday’s post</a></strong> ~ I now have a few new things that I NEED to try.&#160; Do you all ever watch <strong>“Serious TV”?</strong>&#160; I ALWAYS call it “Serious TV” whenever we are flipping through channels and we come across the local stations that have government and city presentations.&#160; You know the ones that show your the local city, county, state and councils in “action”.&#160; </p>
<p>It is sort of like the comic strips ~ you are reading along and you see Garfield and the Peanuts, then, you come across the “Serious Comics” like Batman ~ Same Concept!</p>
<p><strong><em>Make sense?&#160; I am pretty sure it was at this point I lost The Husband on my storyline for tonight.</em></strong></p>
<p>Well, this week I get to have my 15 minutes of fame by being and “extra” in the audience on serious TV….Ok, well, it’s not really as exciting as it sounds ~ I get to be in the Board Room all week and it’s shown on “Serious TV” all this week.&#160; It’s fun really…..though if you are geeky like me and love seeing how all the work you do comes together.</p>
<p>Before heading out this morning, I whipped up 5 minute <strong>Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Burrito </strong>for The Husband and I (6 points+).</p>
<p><img alt="IMG_2740" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_2740_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="432" /></p>
<p>I had actually brought another batch of Trader Joe’s Egg Salad with Salt &amp; Pepper Crisps, but, I quickly through that idea out the window when my co-worker mentioned……..</p>
<p>FIRE CRACKER CHICKEN!!!<a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_8541_thumb.jpg"><img title="IMG_8541_thumb" alt="IMG_8541_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_8541_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>I picked 2 entrees ~ Fire Cracker Chicken above (6 points+) and String Bean Chicken below (4 points+)….</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1983_thumb-1.jpg"><img title="IMG_1983_thumb (1)" alt="IMG_1983_thumb (1)" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1983_thumb-1_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>Then, swapped my chow mein/fried rice for steamed veggies to save on points+.&#160;&#160; <strong>ONLY 10 points+</strong> ~ for my entire meal….</p>
<p>I was totally “green” today by getting my veggies on and um, recycling my pictures from a few weeks ago for Panda since I inhaled everything, THEN, remembered I probably should’ve taken a picture.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9958_thumb.jpg"><img title="IMG_9958_thumb" alt="IMG_9958_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9958_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>Can I just say it now ~ I seriously have <strong>THE BEST HUSBAND in the world.</strong>&#160; He knew this week was going to be crazy, so he put on his <strong><a href="http://www.zestycook.com">Zesty Cook</a></strong> shirt and had dinner ready as soon as I walked in the door.</p>
<p>Simple salads topped with Newman’s Lite Lime Vinaigrette (1 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3570.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3570" border="0" alt="IMG_3570" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3570_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.alexiafoods.com/products/sweet-potatoes/spicy-sweet-potato-julienne-fries">Alexia Chipotle Sweet Potato Fries</a></strong>!!!&#160; You get 30 fries for 3 points+….I totally went back for more once I realized that!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3576.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3576" border="0" alt="IMG_3576" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3576_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Sweet &amp; Spicy BBQ Chicken (6 points+) ~ probably one of my all time favorites too!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3573.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3573" border="0" alt="IMG_3573" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3573_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>As I sat down to post, he dropped on TWO Dove Hearts (2 points+)….THE END!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3580.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3580" border="0" alt="IMG_3580" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_3580_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I LOVE it whenever he cooks! Then, again, I also totally know if I stock the house with steak that he will cook tomorrow too <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" /></p>
<p><strong><font style="background-color: #ffff00" color="#0000ff" size="4">Q’s</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">You know I have to ask ~ Have you all ever been on TV?&#160; If so, what was it for?</font></strong></p>
<p><em>My only other Claim to Fame was being on <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/a-day-the-view-from-the-bay">The View to watch and meet Lisa Lillian</a></strong>, aka Hungry-Girl.&#160; </em></p>
<p><em>Tomorrow is another LONG day, but, I have a chance to be on “serious TV” all over again.</em></p>
<p>Night all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Biggest Loser Day all!&#160; Thanks for all the comments on my <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/slow-cooker-steel-cut-oats-wpeaches-blueberries">Slow Cooker Blueberry Peach Cobbler Oats</a></strong>.&#160; I really do LOVE them and they will be on the <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/category/weekly-menus">Weekly Menu</a></strong> again soon!&#160; So, I have a slight confession since you all know how much I LOVE The Biggest Loser….I haven’t watched a single episode this season….not because I haven’t wanted too, I am just THAT far behind. So, I do not have any commentary to add, but, hope to chime in soon.</p>
<p>On that note, I brought back another favorite breakfast this morning ~ Mock Lemon Meringue Pie!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9558_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_9558_thumb" alt="IMG_9558_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9558_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>Do you all remember that?&#160; I am not even sure what makes me forget about delicious things like:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 cup Trader Joe’s 0% Greek Yogurt topped with</li>
<li>1 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Lemon Curd (it tastes like the inside of Lemon Pie!) sprinkled with</li>
<li>1 Cinnamon Graham Cracker, crushed</li>
</ul>
<p>I had a banana on the side for staying power for a 7 points+ quick breakfast.</p>
<p>Mid morning, I started off snacking on 1/2 an oz of <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/simple-carne-asada-tacos-my-weekly-menu">Salt n Vinegar Almonds</a></strong>, but, I ended up adding in the other half because they are just THAT good (5 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3564.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3564" border="0" alt="IMG_3564" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3564_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>The past two days I have had working lunches so today I decided to pack up a portable lunch that I could just grab and go……</p>
<p>Enter, another long, lost favorite ~ <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/?s=%22ranchero+egg%22">Trader Joe’s Spicy Ranchero Egg White Salad</a></strong>!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3538.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3538" border="0" alt="IMG_3538" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3538_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>REAL ingredients!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3541.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3541" border="0" alt="IMG_3541" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3541_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>1 points+ for 1/2 the container and 3 points+ for the ENTIRE container!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3540.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3540" border="0" alt="IMG_3540" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3540_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I knew I wouldn’t be graceful eating it on bread, so I decided to go with the next best thing </p>
<p>~ <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/weekend-food-highlights-my-weekly-menu">Trader Joe’s Sea Salt &amp; Pepper Crisps</a></strong> for dipping.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3542.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3542" border="0" alt="IMG_3542" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3542_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>You see, I LOVE these crisps because you get A LOT of&#160; crunch for your points+.</p>
<p><strong><em>38 crisps for 3 points+</em></strong></p>

<p>Mid afternoon snackage ~ another constant staple in our house Cabot Serious Snacks!</p>
<p>Each Low-Fat Cheese Square in ALL flavors are just 1 points+</p>

<p>I made my co-worker burst out in laughing when she saw me snapping pictures of my berries….she couldn’t help but ask me “why” I was taking pictures of my berries…after making up a few random stories about how I wanted to remember them after I ate them…..I confessed <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile14.png" /></p>

<p>Even though today was another late night, I managed to get on in time to meet our friends at <strong><a href="http://www.maryspizzashack.com/">Mary’s Pizza Shack</a></strong> for dinner.</p>
<p>I LOVE their salads and often <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/i-lost-this-much/">get them for meals</a></strong>.&#160; However, I knew I wanted some “real” food today.</p>
<p>Side Salad with 1 Tbsp ranch, fork dipped (4 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_1351.jpg"><img title="IMG_1351" border="0" alt="IMG_1351" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_1351_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>I am still learning how to “just say no” to the bread……I honestly think it’s one reason I LOVE going out to eat.&#160; </p>
<p>2 slices with 1 tsp REAL butter (3 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0453_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_0453_thumb" alt="IMG_0453_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0453_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>Then, The Husband and I shared their Spaghetti with meatballs since he asked me if I wanted to be his Lady and the Tramp ~ LOL!</p>
<p>I mean, who can say NO to a line like that?! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" alt="Winking smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile2.png" /></p>
<p>I had about 1/3 of this ~ 1 ball with about 1 cup of pasta for 9 points+.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_8574.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_8574" border="0" alt="IMG_8574" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_8574_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>During cold winter mornings, I LOVE making up a big batch of Crock Pot Steel Cut Oats. <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel-cut_oats">Steel Cut Oats</a></strong> are My FAVORITE type of oat because they are completely unrefined and they have such a chewy texture that almost “pops” in your mouth.&#160; I am pretty sure once you try REAL Steel Cut Oats (NOT the Quick Cooking Kind), it will be hard for you to go back to regular or instant oatmeal.&#160; </p>
<p>This recipe is so easy to make ~ feel free to mix and match with any of your favorite fruit combinations (apples/raisins, pumpkin, cranberry/orange).&#160; Simply put everything in the slow cooker and you wake to a big pot of super creamy, fruity, steel cut oats.</p>
<p>Did I mention that this recipe is made up of <strong>100% Power Foods</strong> and fits into the <strong>Simply Filling Plan</strong> too?! </p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1333_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1333_thumb" alt="IMG_1333_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1333_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1334_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1334_thumb" alt="IMG_1334_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1334_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p><font size="4"><strong>CROCKPOT STEEL CUT OATS WITH PEACHES &amp; BLUEBERRIES</strong> </font></p>
<p><font size="4"><strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/recipage?recipe_id=6015653">(print it!)</a></strong></font></p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1291_thumb1.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1291_thumb1" alt="IMG_1291_thumb1" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1291_thumb1_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p><strong>INGREDIENTS:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>3 cups steel cut oats (I used Trader Joe’s)</li>
<li>1/4 cup ground flax seeds, optional</li>
<li>8 cups water</li>
<li>2 Cinnamon Sticks</li>
<li>1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract</li>
<li>Pinch of Salt, optional</li>
<li>1 lb frozen peaches</li>
<li>1-2 cups frozen blueberries</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>INSTRUCTIONS:</strong></p>
<p>1.&#160; Spray your crock pot with nonstick spray or use a crock pot liner.&#160; DO NOT SKIP this step you will be scrubbing for days.</p>
<p>2.&#160; Combine all the ingredients in your crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours.</p>
<p>3.&#160; Remove cinnamon sticks.&#160; Serve with your favorite toppings.&#160; I LOVE making this into a dessert and using brown sugar, whipped butter and coconut.</p>
<p><strong><em>Makes 10 cups, 4 points+ per cup, add points+ for any toppers</em></strong></p>

<p>I didn’t really do any step by steps for this recipe.&#160; I fill my crock pot to the brim and all the fruit rises at it cooks over night.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1282_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1282_thumb" alt="IMG_1282_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1282_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>Once you mix it all up, it looks like delicious oats with firm fruit.&#160; It freezes AWESOME too, just be sure to portion into 1 cup containers.&#160; A little water might be needed when heating.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1288_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1288_thumb" alt="IMG_1288_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1288_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>I made a BIG 6 points+ bowl of comfort ~ topped with 1/2 Tbsp Whipped Butter, 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar and a sprinkle of unsweetened organic coconut.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1291_thumb11.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1291_thumb1" alt="IMG_1291_thumb1" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1291_thumb1_thumb1.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>MELTED brown sugar + whipped butter = CARAMEL ~ this tastes just like <strong>BLUEBERRY PEACH COBBLER</strong> in every bite if you don’t mix it up!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1295_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1295_thumb" alt="IMG_1295_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1295_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p><em>Just another one of my FAVORITE recipes from the archives.&#160; I have a feeling I am making this soon since The Husband asked why he didn’t get any of THAT oatmeal this morning when he saw my typing up this post <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile.png" /></em></p>
<p><em>I am still working away so I will catch up with you all tomorrow with my daily eats!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Sunday all!&#160; Thanks for all your nice comments on my <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/healthy-super-bowl-recipes-menu-ideas">Healthy Super Bowl Recipes &amp; Menu Ideas</a></strong>.&#160; I have fun each year building on the list and adding new recipes I’ve tried and/or seen.&#160; It is really hard to pair them down because as you all know, I have a “slight” recipe collecting addiction and there are so many fantastic ideas out there ~ hello <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/no-more-funk-a-ma-junk">pizza party</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/my-wi-cinco-de-mayo-fun-healthy-donuts">nacho bar</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/super-bowl-fun">wings</a></strong>!</p>
<p>I am so freakin’ excited to share my weigh in this week ~ <strong><font size="3">I was down 2.8 LBS</font></strong> bringing me only <strong><em>.6 lbs away from my 7 lb Valentine’s Day Goal</em></strong>!! </p>
<p>The Husband did awesome too ~ <strong>he lost 4.2 LBS</strong> ~ so proud of him for making his first week all about healthy swaps and tracking!</p>
<p>I am so glad my FANTASTIC leader had breakfast ready &amp; waiting because I was STARVING this morning.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3504.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3504" border="0" alt="IMG_3504" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3504_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3500.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3500" border="0" alt="IMG_3500" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3500_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

<p>After the meeting, we headed cover to The Husband’s favorite Starbuck’s ~ Notice anything in the picture?!</p>
<p>He is ALWAYS doing that to me and wondering if I’ll notice someone is in the picture ~ clown!</p>
<p>Venti Iced Coffee with 1 Pump Mocha &amp; a splash of half &amp; half (2 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3507.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3507" border="0" alt="IMG_3507" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3507_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>My MOM Rocks!&#160; I know I always tell you all this, but, seriously she does.&#160; I have been trying to locate these <strong><a href="http://www.bluediamond.com/index.cfm?navId=45">Blue Diamond Salt n Vinegar Almonds</a></strong> since July when one of my <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/make-it-a-burger-salad">friends gave me some</a></strong>.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3527" border="0" alt="IMG_3527" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3527_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></p>
<p>I probably cannot even count how many stores I have been in looking for them…..but, My Mom actually went to Blue Diamond and bought me a case for <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/danica-the-race-car-driver">my Birthday</a></strong>!!!</p>
<p>Now that IS LOVE!!! It’s the little things ~ thanks MOM!!!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3529.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3529" border="0" alt="IMG_3529" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3529_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>5 points+ for 1 oz ~ salty, crunchy, vinegary and absolutely amazing!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3531.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3531" border="0" alt="IMG_3531" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3531_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>The Husband was all excited to get his grill on today at lunch for our friends.&#160; I knew all I had to do was buy his FAVORITE <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/boo-bees">Bill Bailey Carne Asada</a></strong> and he would be all about cooking for us <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile13.png" /></p>
<p>I told him he could pick out any of the Mission Tortillas yesterday when were stocking up for the week.&#160; I was pretty excited when he showed me these Corn &amp; Whole Wheat Blended tortillas.</p>

<p>But, I was REALLY bummed when I looked at the ingredients today ~ they contain transfat and what exactly is interesterfied…..note to self, stick to the <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/1-amazing-recipe-1-eh-recipe-my-weekly-menu">Trader Joe’s version</a></strong> :/</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3525.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3525" border="0" alt="IMG_3525" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3525_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>2 points+ each.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3526.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3526" border="0" alt="IMG_3526" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3526_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I made up TWO Carne Asada burritos topped with 2 oz Grilled Carne Asada and 1/2 oz of reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3510.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3510" border="0" alt="IMG_3510" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3510_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Then, I topped them with a bunch of spice and crunch ~ jalapenos, romaine blend, tomatoes, green onions and 1/8 avocado.</p>
<p>8 points+ for both ~ DEAL!&#160; I added hot sauce and drizzled with 0% Greek Yogurt post picture.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3516.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3516" border="0" alt="IMG_3516" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3516_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Dinner went together even faster than lunch thanks to The Husband who decided he was doing all the “cooking” today.</p>
<p>I started with a “Husband Salad” ~ he whipped this up for us for dinner because it’s ZERO points+.&#160; I am pretty sure he is IN LOVE with anything that is ZERO!&#160; Topped with 1 Tbsp<strong><a href="http://www.newmansown.com/product_detail.aspx?productid=75">Newman’s Lite Lime Vinaigrette</a></strong> (1 point+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5222_thumb1.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_5222_thumb1" alt="IMG_5222_thumb1" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5222_thumb1_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>Trader Joe’s Sharp Cheddar Squares (4 points+) and 8 Social Crackers (3 points+)….quite possibly my FAVORITE thing ever when you do not want to cook….LOVE!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5223_thumb_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_5223_thumb_thumb" alt="IMG_5223_thumb_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5223_thumb_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>2 Cuties!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5220_thumb_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_5220_thumb_thumb" alt="IMG_5220_thumb_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5220_thumb_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>Simple, delicious, totally random, but, exactly what I was craving.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Friday Eve all!!!&#160; I couldn’t resist sharing the picture of <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wordless-wednesday-surfs-up">my Sis and her hilarious Husband</a></strong> in this week’s <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/category/wordless-wednesday">Wordless Wednesday</a></strong>.&#160; What can I say ~ It totally runs in the family and we are all clowns like that who can’t resist walking past the “put your face here” signs LOL….</p>
<p>My day started off with one of the coolest things ever that we have at work ~ I got my first ever <strong>GOLD STAR</strong>!!! We have a program that you can nominate someone who goes above and beyond, then, send them a card plus a Gold Star Balloon……</p>
<p>It totally makes me happy to look up at this all day ~ and yup, <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/what-are-the-little-things-in-life-that-make-you-happy">it’s totally the little things</a></strong>….r</p>

<p>I actually made up a BIG Taco Salad for lunch before I headed out to catch the train this morning.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3485.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3485" border="0" alt="IMG_3485" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3485_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3491.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3491" border="0" alt="IMG_3491" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3491_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Biggest Loser Day all!&#160; I am glad I am not the only <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/left-overs-love-them-or-hate-them">Leftover Queen and/or King</a></strong> out there and that most of you dig leftovers as much as I do.&#160; I actually think I found a few new ways to have leftovers from you all too!&#160; </p>
<p>For all of you who do not like leftovers, do you freeze them to have another time or does that fall into another bucket?</p>
<p>I know….I really do think about random things like that all day long…LOL….</p>
<p>The Husband proved to me today that it doesn’t matter what you have or do not have, <strong>you can ALWAYS find a way to track</strong>….He used a Sharpee Pen and his work order to log his eats.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure I can NEVER have a reason to “not” track when it’s this simple…..OH and I am pretty sure I could do sooooo many things with his DAILY 46 points+ ~ Jealous!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3470.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3470" border="0" alt="IMG_3470" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3470_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Breakfast this morning was EXACTLY the same as yesterday and it was just as fantastic.&#160; I am IN LOVE with these Apple Cinnamon Chip Muffins (6 points+)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3384.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3384" border="0" alt="IMG_3384" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3384_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I LOVE working lunches, especially when I get to pick the place.&#160; </p>
<p>I owe <strong><a href="http://www.loserforlife.com/">Marisa at Loser For Life</a></strong> a HUGE Thank You for letting me know that Panda Express is giving away <strong><a href="https://www.pandaexpresssocialmedia.com/2012cny/CNY2012.pdf?wall">FREE FIRE CRACKER CHICKEN now through February 14th</a></strong>!</p>
<p>It pays to know people in all the right places <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile12.png" /></p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_8541_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_8541_thumb" alt="IMG_8541_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_8541_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>I picked 2 entrees ~ Fire Cracker Chicken above (6 points+) and String Bean Chicken below (4 points+)….</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1983_thumb-1.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_1983_thumb (1)" alt="IMG_1983_thumb (1)" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_1983_thumb-1_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>Then, swapped my chow mein/fried rice for steamed veggies to save on points+.&#160; I used the Panda Express Nutrition Calculator and are you all ready for this…..</p>
<p>I totally got my Chinese Food Fix plus my 5 a day in veggies for <strong>ONLY 10 points+</strong> ~ DEAL!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9958_thumb.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="IMG_9958_thumb" alt="IMG_9958_thumb" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9958_thumb_thumb.jpg" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>I couldn’t wait to get home tonight to make dinner!&#160; As you all know I LOVE all Mexican food especially when it involves Chips &amp; Dip! The thing about most dips is that you have to portion them out on your plate and keep to just a serving.&#160; I can admit that I rarely can stick to just a serving or my serving with be one HUGE scoop when it comes to 7 Layer Dips with Chips.I </p>
<p>With INDIVIDUAL 7+ Layer Dips, you get to eat everything you put in your bowl and not spend your entire points+ budget.&#160; I say 7+ because I pretty much throw everything I have on hand in the dish….Get creative, mix and match…..then, dig in, one crunchy bite at a time!</p>

<p><strong><font size="4">STEP – BY STEP:</font></strong></p>
<p>I actually couldn’t wait to use these Le Creuset dishes I bought along time ago for this recipe. I LOVED the idea of having the chips &amp; dip in the same container.</p>
<p>You can actually use any bowl to layer up your dip and serve your chips on the side.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3460.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3460" border="0" alt="IMG_3460" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3460_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Start by layering your refried beans and taco “meat”.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3428.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3428" border="0" alt="IMG_3428" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3428_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Add any salsas, jalapeno, etc.&#160; I used Trader Joe’s Corn Salsa and Jalapenos for sweet heat!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3430.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3430" border="0" alt="IMG_3430" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3430_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I used 1/4 of an ounce of cheese now and reserved the other half for the top.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3438.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3438" border="0" alt="IMG_3438" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3438_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Add in your veggies.&#160; I used a romaine, carrot, red cabbage mix I made, then, topped it with tomatoes, green onions, 1 tsp Olives and 1 Tbsp Avocado (you could use guacamole!)</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3445.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3445" border="0" alt="IMG_3445" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3445_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I actually made a mini salad on the empty side of the container to eat with my dip and to make my chips “feel” like more.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3447.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3447" border="0" alt="IMG_3447" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3447_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I am 100 million % addicted to <a href="http://www.missionmenus.com/Pantry.aspx"><strong>Mission Extra Thin Corn Tortillas</strong></a>.&#160; When you cover them in nonstick spray, sprinkle with sea salt and bake at 400 for 6-7 minutes they are BETTER than any chip you can buy (almost better than at the restaurant!)</p>
<p>However, my tortillas were bad when I opened them <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-sadsmile" alt="Sad smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-sadsmile.png" /> So I opted for The Husband’s Chips.&#160; It turns out that Tostito’s Bite Sized Chips are not a bad deal.</p>
<p>24 chips for 4 points+ = a whole lotta dipping fun!</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3459.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3459" border="0" alt="IMG_3459" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3459_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>At this point, I am pretty sure I am over my 7 ingredients, but, I just kept going…..I drizzled with 0% Greek Yogurt (my sour cream!) and hot sauce….</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3454.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3454" border="0" alt="IMG_3454" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3454_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Then, finished with the rest of my cheese and a few tomatoes and green onion ~ for color.</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3456.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3456" border="0" alt="IMG_3456" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3456_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>You get a little bit of goodness in every single bite……</p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3466.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3466" border="0" alt="IMG_3466" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3466_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>I actually plan on using the leftovers to make <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/how-do-you-balance-it-out-each-day">tacos</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/cravings">healthy nachos</a></strong>, but, I have to say….I kinda want to have this all over again <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile12.png" /></p>
<p><a href="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3467.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3467" border="0" alt="IMG_3467" src="http://danicasdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3467_thumb.jpg" width="564" height="424" /></a></p>

<p>Night all!</p>

<p>I intentionally made double batches of our<strong> <a href="http://danicasdaily.com/recipage?recipe_id=6014364">Sweet Potato BLTA Nachos last night</a></strong> just so I could have NACHOS FOR LUNCH too!</p>

<p><em>I can totally admit </em>I am a LEFTOVER LOVER ~ not just because I don’t have to cook or think of something new to eat, but, because I think so many things taste even better the next day….like lasagna, enchiladas, pizza ~ the list goes on……MMMMM.</p>
