  • Dusty is on the injured list and got benched this weekend…as a result I only got in 6,000 steps. But he’s on the mend!
  • This week we are talking about spices and spicing it up with WW! So what is a spice anyway?  According to Wikipedia:
    Spice

Food

A spice is a seed, fruit, root, bark, or other plant substance primarily used for flavoring, coloring or preserving food. Spices are distinguished from herbs, which are the leaves, flowers, or stems from plants used for flavoring or as a garnish. Wikipedia 

  • Why are we talking about Weggos? If you are new to Weggos you have to join our Team!  Check out these Weggo instructional chats and recipes:
    **Weggo Facebook Chat here
    **BLT Weggo…delicious and found here!
    Transcribing chats is sooo hard 🙂
  • What spices do I have in my pantry (ok they’re on a lazy susan shoosh)?
    • Spice World squeeze Ginger
    • Dean Jacob’s Fresh Grind Bread Dipping Seasoning (I buy mine at All Sauced Up in Gatlinburg but you can order online) – literally good on EVERYTHING
    • Dean Jacob’s Tuscany Blend, Sicilian Blend, Rosa Maria, Parmesan Blend
    • Cinnamon
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice
    • Bragg Sprinkle 24 Herbs & Spices (good on eggs or baked potatoes!)
    • Tajin – Mexican spice that is awesome on fruit! I found this at Aldi
    • Trader Joe’s 21 Salute Seasoning – a little salty to me but good on meat. Felicia says it’s good on green beans!
    • Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning – really good on chicken
    • Dak’s Lemon Pepper – chicken!!
    • Dak’s Original Red – Casey says it tastes like the All Dressed Chips. Sooooo yummy on my That Man’s Chicken recipe found here and on steak…yummm
    • Dak’s Taco Knight – you had me at Tacos! Keep watching…recipe using this one coming up
    • Dak’s Super Greek – yum to the ooooh on eggs!
    • Dak’s Green Zest – on hardboiled eggs with bacon, yes pleaes
    • Dak’s Everything But the Bagel – no salt!
    • Dak’s Blackened – wait until you see what I made with this one…coming up!
      Check out this sweet video I found about the creators of Dak’s Spices!  Remember to mention you heard about them from the Egg Lady if you order or just send them a note 🙂
  • Add spices to already prepared meals like the Trader Joe’s Shrimp Tacos for a little razzle dazzle in a frozen meal. I added Green Zest to one, Super Greek to another and on the third one I used Trader Joe’s Sriracha Ranch Dressing…whoa mama
  • Popcorn Karan introduced me to frozen Carrot Spirals. Tonight I used the Honey Ginger Carrot Recipe found here and divided in half for 1 SP each serving

  • I use the Tajin on citrus fruit, lots of you said watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, apples, grapes, popcorn! Angie says with grilled carrots and a little olive oil
  • Cinnamon on sweet potatoes…duh Kelly! I don’t know why I forget about that.  Prepare a sweet potato as normal, open up and add a little spray butter, ground cinnamon, and a little Truvia Brown Sugar Baking Blend and wowzers.  SP for whatever size potato you prepared.  The question came up about cinnamon and points…apparently when you add 3 tsp or more it is 1 SP.  Even if you are up to 3 tsp it’s only 18 calories sooooo….  Tedders said add some Fluff, you don’t have to tell me twice I’m on it!
  • Side note…we do have a chat with Fluff, visit the WW Easy Dessert Chat here or check out my Fluffer Nutter Bites found here!
  • Baked Potatoes with spices rule! Prepare as normal, cut in half and add 1 oz Trader Joe’s Light Shredded Mozzarella Cheese for 1 SP, 1 Tbsp TJ Fat Free Sour Cream 0 SP, Bragg 24 Herbs Seasoning 0SP, however many points for the size potato you chose.  Also really good with the Dak’s Green Zest or Super Greek.  And don’t forget to add some Nutritional Yeast!
  • Last week we made Italian Mushroom Caps, this week Taco-shroom Sunday!!
    • 4 Portabella Mushroom Caps (remove stem)
    • 2 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Meatless Crumbles
    • Dak’s Taco Knight seasoning to taste
    • 1 oz Trader Joe’s Light Shredded Mozzarella
    • Stuff the mushrooms with the crumbles mixed with Taco Knight, top with the shredded cheese, I cooked in the Air Fryer on 320 degrees for 10 minutes = 2 SP for all four!
  • Air Fryer Steaks 360 degrees for 6-8 minutes depending on how well done you like your steak buh-bam! I used tips for tonight so I could try 4 different kinds:  Trader Joe’s 21 Salute, Dak’s Original Red, Dak’s Blackened, Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning.  We voted Dak’s Original Red & 21 Salute the tops!  For more Air Fryer steak tips visit
  • Ciabatta Bread from Trader Joe’s! Public Service Announcement…check your ciabatta!  A 57 gram Ciabatta roll is 3 SP.  My TJ only does 75 gram Ciabatta now and they are 5 SP.  Slice, turn on their side, spray with non stick olive oil spray, and add Dean Jacob’s fresh grind Italian Bread Dipping Seasoning.  Bake just a few minutes on 350, I promise, promise, pinky promise, you will not be disappointed
  • Shrimp Three Ways! I promise I will post in detail recipe but….
    • Frozen shrimp + kale + nutritional yeast + Dak’s Lemon Pepper
    • Frozen shrimp + diced tomatoes + Dak’s Original Red (we used the extra and made some more ciabatta…kapow Bruschetta!)
    • Frozen shrimp + Trader Joes Cabbage Blend + Dak’s Blackened
    • WINNER!!! While all three were good John and I both voted Dak’s Blackened seasoning and will definitely be repeating this often!
