Don’t keel over in shock but yes, I am here, writing a post on Shrinking Jeans. I know I know, it’s been a while. I won’t bore you with all the reasons excuses but let’s just say that I have been super busy. It feels good to be back, doing one of the things I [...]
I LOVE pico de gallo. With all of my heart. If you haven’t checked out the Pioneer Woman’s Pico de Gallo recipe, you must.do.it.now. It’s perfect in every way. Plus, it’s so easy you’ll want to slap your mama. I’m serious. Did you know you can put pico (we’ll call it pico for short, m’kay?) [...]
This is another recipe from my South Beach cookbook. I made this last week and loved it! It even works for the strict Phase 1 weeks! Source: The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. Taste of the Sisterhood is sponsored by Attune Foods!
Gosh, I love to eat. I especially love anything with a Spanish flair. It must be the Mexican blood coursing through my veins. But yeah, I love casseroles and and I love salsa and I love Spanish casseroles topped with salsa. Es muy bueno. This is a simple, yummy, delicious, scrumptious casserole. Go make it [...]
I came across this recipe on Tasty Kitchen a few weeks ago and it is so delicious! I first wrote about it on the Weekly Round-Up, but I decided it’s so good it needs it’s own post, and I also made a few changes to the dressing when I prepared it. I halved the dressing [...]
Back in the day, I was a hard-core Weight Watchers follower. I counted my points diligently and learned all about portion control and calories and making choices. I lost 25 lbs after the birth of my first child and I credit Weight Watchers (and my dedication and discipline) for helping me reach that goal. During [...]
I love Mexican food and I love enchiladas. However, I don’t eat enchiladas very often because OMG, that fat and the cheese and the FAT. Until now. For a brief while, I had a free membership to Cook’s Illustrated. During that time, I printed out as many recipes as I had time to. This is [...]

When was the last time you had Brussels sprouts? Have you ever had them, or is the ‘Brussels sprouts are GROSS’ stigma keeping you from trying them? I’ll be the first to admit when I was a kid, Brussels sprouts were the last thing I wanted to try. My mom went so far as to [...]
With Halloween right around the corner, you are surely may be tempted by all the delicious, sugary goodness surrounding you. But, wait, DON’T EAT IT! There are ways to get your chocolate fix without destroying your diet. Have you tried the Weight Watchers by Whitman chocolate candies? They are seriously delicious. I was recently sent [...]
I love zucchini, and I love peppers, and I love tomatoes. I rarely put all three together in a sauté pan. In fact, I rarely sauté any veggies. I am a fresh veggie kind of gal. However, after following this simple recipe and the absolute deliciousness it was, I will be doing it more often. [...]
This salad is SO good, but it tastes like it’s so bad. In other words, it doesn’t feel like I’m dieting when I eat this salad. The dressing is so creamy and unlike most “light” dressings, and it keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days. From Weight Watchers [...]
I made this recipe right before Thanksgiving and OMGoodness, it was damn awesome. It was so good and moist that I have since made it again AND I am making it for all of the kids’ teachers as holiday gifts. It even freezes well. You don’t need to slather butter on it at all, just bake [...]
Who doesn’t love TEQUILA?!! Lisa introduced me to this Weight Watchers recipe a couple of years back and I’ve been hooked ever since. It has a little more prep than I like, but the results are totally worth it. It’s great on the grill or in the oven and delicious with Spanish rice or a [...]
