Hi there! I hope you had a wonderful week. It's about that time to start looking towards next week. I have a pretty crazy schedule Monday-Wed, so going in with a plan for my meals is going to be especially important. I'm doing some big-batch cooking today so I can use the leftovers to throw together dinners on Monday and Tuesday in about 10 minutes. I herniated my chicken last night, so all I have to do today is grill it. And the beans are the easiest thing I make--just throw it all in the ... continue reading...

If you didn't know already, burgers are a big deal in this house, and these All-In-One Burgers are my absolute favorite. Burgers in general are by far Jeff's favorite food (well, tacos are a close second). While I have created some pretty fantastic alternatives at home, like my Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burgers and Chicken Bacon Ranch Burgers, I have struggled to lighten up Jeff's ultimate choice--a bacon cheeseburger.A large bacon cheeseburger clocks in at 20 SmartPoints! That's fine for a special ... continue reading...
