Shower Punch

1 quart Pineapple juice
1- 2 liter Sprite or 7 up
Frozen sherbet

Mix juice and sprite together and then scoop sherbet on top! It's as easy as that. Add sherbet throughout shower or party so people will still get chunks of it. I like the mixed sherbet but it's to your taste.

Roast Chicken Breast

What a beautiful dish! This white meat has never been so juicy and you'll have enough left over for lunch the next day. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did.

Source: Weight Watchers
Ingredients: Serves 2 with 2 servings of chicken left over

2 Tbl whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 Tbl chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 tsp dried
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
1 skinless bone-in chicken breast
4 small potatoes, cut into chunks
2 carrots, cut into chunks
1/2 lb fresh asparagus

1. Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Combine the mustard, tarragon, garlic, oil, honey and salt in a med bowl. Add the chicken; toss well to coat.
3. Place the chicken, breast side up, in the center of the baking dish. Add the potatoes and carrots to the mustard mixture and toss to coat. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the chicken. Roast 25 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, trim and discard the tough ends of the asparagus; cut into 2 inch lengths. Add to potatoes and carrots in a baking pan; stirring to coat asparagus. Roast until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes longer.
5. Cut the chicken breast in two. Wrap and refrigerate half for up to 3 days for later use. Thinly slice the remaining half chicken breast from the bone and serve with vegetables.

*I could only find bone-in skin on chicken bre
ast. So I just removed skin before cooking.

TUESDAY TIPS

*Chick Fil A- order a child's meal and you can trade in the toy for a small ice cream cone

*If you don't buy it you can't eat it!

*Only shop the perimeter of the store...you'll be forced to buy fresh and non-processed foods

*Figure out your tough time of the day and how you can avoid succumbing to food

*Sliced zucchini is a great vehicle for cheese dip

*"Can't never did do anything"

*Have you ever tried Edamame? They come frozen and all you need to do is steam them for a few minutes to warm them up. Serve them with a little salt and enjoy! It's great for a light snack.
