Food, food, food....

SO..I have been really thinking that I need to be careful with what I eat. I have been thinking about counting all of my 'points.' I have been thinking about loosing weight (or maintaining my weight loss). Notice that I say THINKING about each of these things. Because, lets be honest, I am NOT doing very good at any of it.
Take a few recent examples:
Our Super Bowl Sunday spread....
Sunday was pretty much an all day eat-fest. Oh well....that is to be expects, right?!
And then...I keep seeing all sorts of recipes on everyones blogs that I nee to try. I have been really trying to plan ahead and have our dinners prepared/organized in advance. This makes my days less stressful and my night more relaxing. Honestly, I try to reduce the calories in each recipe by using low-fat or no-fat alternatives...and cooking is better than going out, right? Right.

I tried Jennifer's Beef Enchilada recipe. Ryan told me that these were "way better" that what I usually cook. LOL....I guess I know what he thought of my old recipe! Really the only difference was the addition of the Hormel Turkey Chili (no beans)...but it made the sauce much better.
I also recently made taco soup. This was from a recipe that I ran across too...I think that I originally got the idea from Tiffany here, but adapted just a tad b/c of what I had in the pantry.


Tonight I am making Chicken and Rice. One of our old favorites. I think that our dinners will get lower in calories when we can grill outside and eat some nice fresh veggies (excuses, excuses...I am sure that I will come up with another then :))

I love taco soup! We make it all the time during the winter! There's actually a weight watcher recipe for Taco Soup, so it can't be too bad for ya right? Well that's what I like to think anyway.
