Day 22

Monday, February 14th 2011

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Oh, I am so grateful for all that I love... my beautiful little girls, a wonderful and totally amazing husband, and a great group of family and friends.

I woke up today to the tantilizing aroma of bacon. REAL bacon, not canadian bacon. Oh, how I have missed this and I jumped from my bed much like a child on Christmas morning. I had pancakes and bacon waiting for me - did you know that it is 4 points for 3 pieces of crisp bacon? I know now and it was delicious! I have an amazing pancake maker in my family.... my hubby throws in some of this, some of that and everytime it comes out so tasty. My only wish was for real butter and syrup but I need to draw the line. Afterall, I am still on a diet and there is a day ahead of me with more treats to eat.

I wanted to keep lunch semi light as I had a yummy dinner planned for Valentine's Day ;)

Had leftover tortilla soup with cheese and sour cream. Yep, still had some left and it was still just as good.

Dinner was absolutely divine!! I found a few recipes on Weight Watchers and one online but it had nutritional info so I was able to figure out the points pretty easy.
We had Beef tenderloin with blue cheese and herb crust, yorkshire pudding with a garden salad and blue cheese dressing. Oh, so yummy and how many points for all this food? 3 oz of beef with blue cheese and herb crust - 9 points. Yorkshire pudding - 2 points each (I had 2) Blue cheese dressing - 1 point and a 0 point salad.

Finished off our night with Strawberry Napoleon. The cream was amazing and it was just the right textures and tastes. Crunchy filo dough layers, smooth sweet cream flavored with orange zest and a little sugar and fresh strawberries. It was 3 points a serving.
Perfect meal for a great day. Oh, did I mention the lovely flowers I got???
