back to blogging...

It has been almost 2 months since I have blogged anything.  Sorry about that - I have started a new position at work and have been working on my weight & fitness for the last month.

I started Weight Watchers Points Plus (well my version) on February 1, 2012...and I am minus 7 lbs so far.  I will be looking, creating, and sharing new healthier recipes that I come across and/or create.  Pinterest has really had me hungry lately...but I have mostly been on the fruit and veggie train for the last 3 wks.
I did break loose and the last 2 weekends I ate not so healthy foods at the Mardi Gras celebrations in the Shreveport area...but I didnt gain any more weight!!  Which is always a good thing.

Today I put a recipe I found on Pinterest - originally from Living, Laughing, Loving

Please go here for the source:

Uh, yeah.  You heard right.  Only THREE ingredients.  I wasn’t joking.

• Pork Chops
• Ranch Seasoning Dry Mix Packet
• 1 can Cream of Chicken plus 1 can water as needed {or 2 cans cream of chicken}  This will depend on how fast your crockpot cooks and how long you’ll be cooking it. 

Ready for the hard part?  {I’m so funny.  I know.} Combine all three ingredients in the crockpot and mix well.   Yup.  That’s it.

I left mine in the crock pot this morning before leaving the house...I am so excited to try it tonight!!

Sweet Baking,
