Kodiak Power Waffles


First week of summer vacation is almost over and I haven't posted in weeks! My goal is to post at least once a week this summer, especially if I test a new recipe. Tonight, after being inspired by Weight Watcher peeps using Kodiak waffle mixes, we drove to Buffalo, bought some and I made Lemon Strawberry Kodiak Power Cake Waffles from TwoPointsforHonesty's blog tonight.

They were soooo tasty! I'm excited to try other recipes using the mix. My daughter served up the non-fat cool whip a little heavy on our plates. It should be a tablespoon. I promise I didn't eat it all. Pictured is my husband's plate- my first attempt at the waffles. He DID eat all the Cool Whip, but he's not on WW.

Next time I'd use more of the lemon. I was rushing as we were eating late, so I just used the half lemon that I had in the fridge. The waffles just had a hint of lemon. I'd like a bit more and the recipe called for more. They smelled so good, too. TwoPoints blog has these as 3 point waffles. I didn't have non fat syrup, and used a tsp of maple syrup which is always in our fridge, eh? So that added a point. I added another for the extra Cool Whip that I did eat.

In weight loss news, I lost my 10 percent on my Weight Watcher's adventure that started in late April. I WAS down a couple pounds this morning, but with a Cheesecake Factory meal for lunch (though I did choose carefully), and this late night waffle eating,  we'll see if my weight bounces up a bit tomorrow morning at my official weigh in.

I also joined Boot Camp this week and survived my first session on Wednesday. I felt sore today, walking around searching for waffle mix, but am excited to see how I can improve my fitness and hopefully tone up!

Anyway, I look forward to more blog reading and blog sharing, as it will (usually) mean that I've tried something new. I need to keep my interest levels up for successful muffin crumbling..

Have a great weekend!

One week in with a side of Grilling!




One week in and I've been enjoying the new Weight Watcher's plan. I was down 4 pounds at weigh-in. Tonight's lamb burger (from our local butcher's) was a little high point-wise, but delicious. I HAD PLANNED on eating only half of it, but once I started, I couldn't stop. lol. The bun was a good WW find though at 3 points. I found the buns at Metro-they're called "Flatout Foldit 5 Grain and Flax." -really tasty and kind of cool in its wrap-arounded-ness.

The fries were fresh cut Yukon gold in my T-Fal ActiFry. They only take a bit of oil.

Also, pictured here, a BBQ chicken recipe that is a change from how I USUALLY do Rosemary-Lemon chicken- slightly more olive oil. I made a Cooking Light buttermilk dressing with the Kale slaw. I sacrificed points for the warmed Naan on the side. Delicious!

Here's hoping the warm weather continues. I missed walking today as my usual Tuesday workout partner had to babysit. Wishing everyone good weather and good food!

Back to Healthy Eating!

Just finished my first week back on Weight Watchers and first week back (in a long time) in being committed to healthy, but interesting meals. So... am recommitting to this blog. I have a stack of new cookbooks to test and a new WW program to get used to. Hope to find fellow bloggers for inspiration.

That is all for now! Have a nice rainy weekend!
