HACK - We LOVE the crock pot in this house and I'll definitely be trying that! Might be a good chicken mush to put in a wrap!

The chicken was definitely shred-able after 7 hours in the pot. With a slotted spoon, you could easily drain the rest and put it in a wrap. In fact, that's what my roommate did.

Here's another easy and good crockpot recipe. This one is actually from WW. I think it was 6 points per serving.

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen ok)
half of a sweet onion, chopped
1 carton of sliced fresh mushrooms
1 can of cream of mushroom soup (I use the Healthy Request Campbell's)
1 envelope of Lipton's onion soup
1 container of no-fat or low-fat sour cream
A dash of sea salt

Place chicken in the bottom of the pot and in a separate mixing bowl, mix the soup, sour cream and dry soup mix. Place chopped onion over chicken, pour soup-sour cream mixture over it. Then place mushrooms on top.

Check on this occasionally to put in a little water now and then if it appears it is becoming dried out.

I serve this over whole wheat egg noodles. It is a good, filling dish. You don't even need a knife to cut up the chicken.

Nothing I love more than salsa and chips. I have been trying to do the "healthier" blue corn chips. Well, the ones I have tried up until now have left much to be desired, including being almost stale tasting.

Until the recent one my gf brought home. It is simply called "Blue Corn", which is actually a multigrain recipe made with, organic blue corn, quinoa, flax, sunflower, sesame seed, and brown rice. All good stuff. It creates a light and crispy chip. Speaking of people being extra hungry yesterday...I ate almost the entire bag last night along with almost the entire jar of salsa! I hadn't even noticed they were so good!

Anyway, it is made by "Food Should Taste Good". Check it out.

I recently had some Tostitos Multigrain Scoops at a friends' house. They were pretty tasty, I have to say.

Ahhhh...I will have to check those b/c I can eat multigrain (and they are no doubt cheaper than the ones I mentioned). Thanks for the tip!

Another good option is the BAKED Tostitos Scoops. YUMMY... and they pretty much taste just like the regular Tostitos!

I'm starting to ween myself off of the Weight Watchers online tracking. Tracking and figuring points everyday for the last 4+ months have given me the information I need to carry on without it; I am *very* clear what "overeating" is for me. I do a significant amount of cardio every morning and work my core 3-4 times per week. With all of that, I have faith these last 5 pounds will eventually come off.

I am loving the crockpot receipes y'all! I'm always looking for new receipes. As we speak, I've got a small, very lean roast in the crockpot with low sodium mushroom gravy for dinner tonight. By the time I get home 8 hours later today, that sucker is gonna be falling apart... that's my favorite way! I take a fork & shred it ~ and let all the yummy juices soak in. I'm making brown rice for me, and wheat egg noodles for D. I'm either gonna steam some green beans or make a garden salad.

D's only complaint... is that we aren't having croissants or Grands biscuits to soak up the gravy with.

We are hitting the gym tonight. Things have been really stressful at work for quite awhile... luckily working out helps me burn off some of that frustration! Booty shakin' music has been downloaded... bring it on!

Breakfast today:
Raisin bran cereal with fat free milk
a banana
and 1 cup of coffee with a splash of sweet cream creamer

Lunch:
tuna salad on honey wheat sandwich thin
a handful of baby carrots for the crunch factor

strawberries & green grapes
