One thing that's kept me from posting to this blog is the pressure of having to have a photo of everything I make and post. So, I'm going to try to relieve the pressure on myself and not require a photo, and just write when I want to. With the arrival of baby Paige, we've decided to rethink our eating habits and try to get more organized and maybe a bit more nutritious. David has decided to count points again, so I thought an easy way to do this would be to start from the Weight Watchers "Simply Delicious" cookbook, which we've had for a few years but I'm not sure I've ever used. Once we skeptically looked through it, we realized the recipes actually sounded quite good, used all natural ingredients and fresh herbs, were all 8 points or less, and were labeled "no fuss" (which sounds good for weeknights once I'm back at work).

Two nights ago, we started with our first chosen recipe, "lemon crumb chicken", which involved coating boneless, skinless chicken with mayo, then dredging in fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parmesan cheese, and parsley and baking it. It came out crunchy and flavorful, and we ate it with corn on the cob (which Dave likes to cut off the cob b/c it sticks in his teeth (it sticks in my teeth too, but it's too much fun to eat off the cob to stop).
