Day 4

Today has been a pretty good food day for me. I have been making decisions prior to getting too hungry and thinking about the best options to make me fuller longer.
With my weight on WW I am allowed to have 31 points, that seems like a lot to me.
So this morning for breakfast I had a 2 egg omelet with 2 slices of cheese, onions and mushrooms and a cup of coffee with 2 splenda and a dash of skim milk. I have been drinking lots of water, which I love as long as it is cold.
For lunch I made a yummy potato chowder that I found in one of the pamphlets they gave me on Wednesday. I didn't have any bacon on red onions as it calls for as well as the corn on the cob(I used canned corn), but I made it without and I have to say it came out YUMMY.

Potato Chowder

(serves 1, 6 pts)

1 medium Yukon Gold Potato

Cooking spray

1/4 cup chopped celery

2 Tbsp chopped onion

1 piece cooked corn on the cob, kernels removed with a knife (I used canned corn)

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

1 oz diced Canadian-style bacon

1/2 cup fat-free milk

Salt, pepper, and hot pepper to taste

Pierce potato in several places with a fork; microwave on high power until tender, turning over once, about 8 minutes. Allow to cool; peel and mash. Meanwhile, coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray. Add celery, onion, corn kernels and red pepper; saute over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Stir bacon and milk into saucepan;stir in mashed potato and mix well. Season with salt, pepper and hot pepper; stir to combine. Cover and simmer 10 minutes (do not allow to boil).

I am super excited that I tried this recipe and have to say I can't wait to make it again and add bacon to it to see how the flavor differs.
