Pumpkin Bacon Apple Cinnamon Waffle: 8 Weight Watchers Smart Points / 7 Points Plus

“Lean to the left”. I love listening to our leader Gwen when she’s checking people in at the scales.  Always an encouraging word, a listening ear, not a judging bone in her now petite dairy farmer’s daughter body. One of my favorites is when one of us gets close to […]

Hard Boiled Perfection…it was a long time coming 

I could almost cry.  I have waited years for this moment.  Ruined dozens of eggs.  Tried dozens of methods.  Old eggs. New eggs. Brown ones. White ones.  Every boiling time, every cooling method,  nothing else in water, weird additions to water.  I even baked them. You name it, I’ve tried […]

Red, White & Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes: 9 Weight Watchers Smart Points / 9 Points Plus

Sunday, September 11th 2016 marked 15 years since that fateful morning when the America as we know it changed forever.  Since then, we spend the other 364 days a year enjoying our freedom.  Living normal lives.  Getting one more day closer to forgetting what happened on our soil, to our […]

TJ’s Five Below Club:  Mushroom Asparagus Egg Mug – 3 Weight Watchers Smart Points

It’s always fun to be part of a club no matter what the even is, adventure will be, who the people are.  I’ve been an ad hock member of our high school French Club, President of my daughter’s Nap Club, now I’ve got a Five Below Club.  I love being […]

The All American Weggo – 6 Weight Watchers Smart Points

Hot dogs.  Baseball.  Apple pie.  Chevrolet.  It doesn’t get much more American than that.  Well until now. We haven’t been to every state in this great Union but we’ve seen quite a few.  We’ve been as far west as Hawaii.  North to Maine.  South to Florida and Texas.  All up […]

French Toast Weggo

Jump to Recipe Whoever said too much of a good thing…is an idiot.  Seriously.  If it’s really good can there ever be too much?  And if it’s Smart Points friendly?  Even better! Remember the infamous The Original Weggo episode from a few weeks ago?  Our friend with the chickens who […]

Warm Bacon Breakfast Salad – 4 Weight Watchers Smart Points

A long time and dear friend from Toledo, OH used to go home once each year or two to visit her mother.  Those visits were almost as exciting for us left at work as they were for her because she always brought us each back one jar of Tony Packo’s […]

The Original Weggo – 2 Freestyle Smart Points

03/24/18 updated to only 2 Freestyle Smart Points! I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason.  Even if those things are running out of pretty much every food conceivable and then overflowing the waffle iron when you are trying to make corn muffins but can’t find the […]

Polenta French Toast – 3 Weight Watchers Smart Points 

The first time I bought polenta it was at the suggestion of my sis-in-law Cathy.  She was doing Simply Filling and polenta was a free food.  Everything she made looked simple, delicious, zero points (on the WW Points Plus system) and she seemed satisfied.  Why wouldn’t I want to add […]

Caprese Egg Mug – 4 Weight Watchers Smart Points

While we were on vacation at Disney I had the opportunity to enjoy more than one dish as a Caprese, and being me of course I thought “egg mug!”  My husband rolled his eyes.  He rolled his eyes because a) everything I see becomes an egg mug quest and b) […]
