Skinny Ranch
Ranch has definitely been one of the hardest things for me to cut back on over the past several months. When I started tracking my food, I honestly didn’t realize how many mindless calories and WW points I was using for condiments! I have learned to like the “light” store-bought ranch, but still use way more than most people! Seriously- on pasta salad, pizza, pretzels, wings, veggies, pickles… you name it. So, after going to the depths of Pinterest, I decided to give the Greek Yogurt Ranch thing a try and was pleasantly surprised! It’s not quite as creamy and has a little more “tang” to it, but it definitely…

Light Baked Brie
This Baked Brie is one of my favorite recipes! I know, I say that a lot- but this is. so. good. It’s one of my favorite dishes to make for happy hour or as an appetizer for literally any gathering.

In the rare event that there is any leftover, it makes an awesome “breakfast of champions!” Another huge plus is that this dish is only three ingredients and it literally takes all of 60 seconds of prep time. This recipe comes out…

I’ve never exactly enjoyed running, but between moving and traveling so much, I just got to the point where I wanted to be able to go outside for a “quick run” as my workout and have fun. Running is also a great way to quickly burn calories while…

Healthy Coffee Creamer Alternative!
Not sure about y’all- but there are few things in this world I appreciate more than a hot, creamy cup of coffee! What I didn’t realize until I started WW (Weight Watchers) last year was how many points/calories I was using up for my beloved morning cup… or 3. Cue panic mode when I had all of a sudden used up half of my daily points on coffee creamer. I started looking into the nutrition facts for my typical drink orders at restaurants and YIKES! 50+ carbs (sometimes as much as 70 g) and 400+ calories for ONE DRINK- I knew there had to be a better way to get…
