Our Goose Is Cooked!



Right after Goose got engaged last December, she started right away on WW's to shed those "unwanted" pounds before the wedding.  She has done an exceptional job and has lost more than 30 pounds.  WOOT WOOT!  Way to go, Goose!

She has really been bitten by the "Betty Crocker" bug, and she cooks up a storm.  This is great for Tang's belly in that when they get married, she will be a "seasoned" veteran in the kitchen.  

 

Everyday, Goose looks through stacks of cookbooks and many different web-sites, looking for recipes that she can use straight off the page, or tweak to make the WW approved.  She has become really good at taking any recipe and making it fit what she needs.  She is a stickler for the most part, in counting her points.  She is also a "list" and menu planner.  Now that IS something she got from me.  Since she really enjoys doing that I didn't have the  to take it away so I figured hey............"YOU GO, GIRL!!!"      How my daughter got to be so organized and determined, is beyond me!    Oh, did I tell you she is cooking it all too? 

 

I present you with....................Dinners by Goose!  lol 
Included are some of their point values for WW's.

 

THIS WEEK:

Monday:  Chicken & Dumplings  4 pts

Tuesday:  Taco Soup 

Wednesday:  Chicken Parmagiana 

Thursday:  Pizza  6 pts

Friday:  Tacos

If you would like any of these recipes, please let me know!

 

Blessings~
Laura

Menu Plan Monday





It has been a looooooooong time since I have not only planned a weekly menu, but  also since I have participated in Menu Plan Monday, and boy, have I missed doing this!
  
The other day, I was looking through the grocery circular for what was on sale so I could base a menu around those items instead of around what I wanted to have. Goose wanted to help me so we sat down and did one TOGETHER!  HOW COOL!!!   She will be getting married next year and will be leaving the nest, so any time I get the chance to do something with her, I WILL GRAB IT!!
 
I decided right then that now was as good a time as any to try and get myself and my home, a little more organized.  And what better place to start than in the kitchen, right? 
 
Ok, let's see............What's on the Menu:

MONDAY:  Memorial Day BBQ - hot dogs, hamburgers, salad, and Pumpkin Crunch Cake for dessert.  I think we will probably be eating this for a week!  lol
(recipe and pictures to follow in an additional post)

TUESDAY:  Vegetable calzones w/salad

WEDNESDAY:  Chicken parmagiana, garlic bread

THURSDAY:  Egg salad sandwiches, home made potato chips (yum!)

FRIDAY:  Vegetable pizza, salad  (for a back-up plan, we will be having breakfast for dinner which will be:  pancakes, hashbrowns, sausage, and blueberry muffins)

Is it wrong of me to secretly hope we need to use the back-up plan?   LOL

Blessings~
Laura
