Balance

Life is all about balance - easier said than done sometimes. I have put half my hours in for the week and it is only Monday morning. But thank goodness I have a buddy that is coming to Zumba with me on Wednesdays and Fridays so now we have someone to be accountable to.

New Meal - experimenting

Ok so I was getting bored with plain old chicken and I had a craving for chicken nuggets but didn't want to leave the house and so below is what I came up with, and I put it into the WW recipe builder and it isn't too bad. For a whole chicken breast - if you cut it width wise (I know it says length wise below) - you get 7 - 9 nuggets for 5 points. I also added Red Pepper flakes, basil, and chives for seasoning. Enjoy!
