SATURDAY SUGGESTIONS: Menu to stay on track

Weekends are hard for us eaters....totally different schedule, possible parties at night or bumming around the house with the pantry and refrigerator screaming your name. Always good to have a plan so here is a day in the life of the "Everyday Cook" weekend style.

Breakfast:
Breakfast burrito with 1 slice of bacon, egg beaters scrambled eggs (you can have 1/2 cup of egg beaters for 1 point), less than 1/4 cup shredded cheese, salsa and "La Banderita Low Carb Low Fat" wheat tortilla. Points= 4

Mid morning snack:
Just depends on what we have but try to limit it to a 2-3 point snack

Lunch:
Turkey sandwich on a sandwich thin with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and a sprinkle of oregano. I left off the cheese because with all these other wonderful flavors, you can live without.
Weight Watchers yogurt and a pre-portioned bag of baked chips. Points: 5

If needed: afternoon snack. Maybe a piece of fruit or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. 2 points

Dinner:
Have some friends over and grill out!
Make Gingered Pork Skewers with grilled okra. 4 oz of pork per person, lots of veggies and with the pineapple, your skewers will be around 5 points. To grill okra: put about 1 t of oil on the okra, sprinkle with salt and pepper and skewer a bunch of them together. Put on the grill at the same time as the pork skewers and turn once. Delicious! Enjoy an ice cold light beer for a total dinner of 8 points!

Point total for the day: 22 points and you literally ate all day!!
