Good with the Bad
It’s only fair to share my fails here too. Yesterday I had a 60 point Weight Watchers day. At least I tracked it. Got drinks after work with a friend at a place where a mutual friend works. I was okay with bar bites and wine, but then I asked about dessert (which is not like me). We couldn’t decide, so my friend brought out a brownie and pecan pie. The slice of pie was 21 points. LAWD.
I am going to a “Brunch Fest” in Union Market tomorrow, it wasn’t cheap, but I’m hoping to make okay choices. I’d rather each a bunch things for 21 points then 1 slice of pie.
I already love green beans, but air fried green beans…wowza!
Topped them off with salt and lemon pepper to really make em sing!
There is a University Club on campus for faculty and staff to eat. They moved to a new space last spring and it’s pretty swanky. It’s all you care to eat for $11.75 + tax, which isn’t terrible considering overall on-campus dining prices and off-campus DC restaurants. Plus the people watching is SUPERB – it’s always a who’s who of campus folks.
I got lunch with my friend J who is an Assistant Dean of one of the academic colleges. He’s been a great friend and colleague (especially over the summer during my near breakdown) so it was nice to grab an hour together.
The menu was on point. So many veggie options – on top of a salad bar, two soups (I got butternut squash), and cut fruit. I gotta say the soup was wonderful, but to my shock, the real VIP was the Braised Cabbage. It had other veggies in it too. Does anyone have a braised cabbage recipe?
Cool Whip and mixed berries = hello lover!
Jumped on the Weight Watchers 2 ingredient “bagel” bandwagon. In reality anything that isn’t a NY bagel is a bread donut. For being a diet bread donut these weren’t terrible.
0 point delight
Now that 0% Greek yogurt is 0 points WW people have been using it for everything. I just tried it with sugar free vanilla pudding and it’s a no for me. MAAAAAYBE Cheesecake pudding would be better or Chocolate, but than vanilla coupled with the texture is a hard pass.
