ECObUNS SALE!

My favorite cloth diaper store, Ecobuns (www.ecobuns.com) is having an open house today and tomorrow to say farewell to the store's original owners, and hello to the new owners. 10% off storewide. The sale is good online too, with the coupon code: bonvoyage.

Even if you don't cloth diaper, they have other products you might enjoy. I have a wet bag for diapers, but used it last summer for my wet bathing suits & beach towels. I want to get another one this year specifically for that purpose. They are AWESOME! :)

Monday Musings

So, I still need to post a description of the little hair bows I made for Hope - tomorrow, perhaps.

For today, I just need to celebrate a few things:
* I ran 3 miles last night. My first time running since probably November.
* I reached my 10% weight loss goal today! 16.2lbs down in 9 weeks.
* 6ish pounds until I'm at my final goal weight. Perhaps a few more - we'll see how it goes.

Meatless Monday

So, this isn't a 'meal', but still a great addition to a meal. Especially a holiday meal when you have a lot of people to feed. In fact, I will probably be making this on Sunday for Easter. It's more of a fall/winter side, but with the snow we got today, I think I can justify it for Easter. :)

It's a really simple hot fruit dish in a crock pot, or you can bake it in the oven for 1 hour around 350.

1 jar of chunky applesauce
1 can of pineapple tidbits
1 can of peaches (cut up)
1 can of apricots (cut up)
1 can of mandarin oranges
1 can of lite/sugar free cherry pie filling
Top with 1/2 cup brown sugar and a few teaspoons of cinnamon (to taste)

It's quite sweet with all the fruit, so you could even do without the brown sugar and people could add it on individually if they wanted to. If you get all the cans of fruit in it's natural juice it's a pretty healthy hot fruit salad! Enjoy!

Meatless Monday

One of my 'go-to' meals lately is Tortilla Pizzas.

Whole wheat tortilla (2 ww pts)
1/4 cup store-bought pizza sauce (1 ww pt)
1/2 cup fat-free mozzarella cheese (2 ww pt)

I then add either some 'free' vegetables like cut up green pepper & onion, or take one of Isaac's fruit cups of pineapple (2 ww pts) and spread it over top. Put it in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Watch it closely, because if it gets a little to crisp it doesn't taste quite as good. This is a very quick, easy and versatile meal. Isaac thinks its a normal pizza and will eat a whole one to himself. It's great because you can make just one, or make them for the whole family and everyone can add their own toppings. Add a salad and you've got dinner! Enjoy!
