What I Cook to Prepare for the Week

It is no secret that I like to cook. I cook almost every night here at home for dinner and on Sundays my one day off from work every week I cook things for the baby for her meals all week and I make my own quick lunches and breakfasts.

Everyone always is amazed when they see me the first thing they say is wow you do not look like you eat anything. This kind of surprises me every time because in all honestly I eat so much! I snack and eat small meals all day long and this is what has kept me successful and on track with the Weight Watchers program.

So people are often surpiresed and ask me what did you eat otday or what are you making this week? So I was cooking yesterday and said to myself let me snap some pictures so I can share with my favorite people :)

That is usually what my oven looks like each week hehe and that is not even all of it!

I start each day with a piece of this for 3 points Egg White Veggie Quiche

A mid morning snack lately is Chobani greek yogurt the vanilla flavor is only 2 points and it is so creamy and packed with protein that I cannot resist it! It is much more filling and tasteful than the weight watchers yogurt. But of course I make it into a mini meal when I add these:

Yes those are apples!!! I wedge them and toss them in 2 tsp of cinnamon,2 tsp of splenda and 1 tsp of nutmeg. I use 7 apples and divide it up into 3 portions so it usually makes it 2 points per serving. But all you have to do is weigh the apples ahead of time or whatever you want and figure the points that way.
I throw them right into my yogurt at work and I am satisfied for hours!

Lunch this week will be on the run no microwave to heat up my soups and stuff so I had to prepare ahead of time some chicken tenders:

This is my key point to posting this! Do you see the individual chicken already bagged and weighed and points written on the bag itself? In a second at work I know what I am eating and how much points it is! I prepare it all ahead of time to make things simple and easy to follow! Plus chicken is good cold, if I am running around and have no time I can eat one in the car on the way somewhere. It is just important to be prepared :)


Dinner will vary but I had a spaghetti squash left over so I had to use it before it went bad and I Spaghetti Squash Pie:

I cut it into 4 pieces and had one for dinner last night and froze the other 3 in separate containers. In a pinch I have it all ready to go!

What planning do you do for the week to help you stay on track?

Do not forget Weight Watchers chats begin on December 2nd!!!!!!
