Let’s have a Healthy Day

Manic Monday Meals-1

As many of you know by now I’m really trying hard to make our meals better with calories and watch what I put in my mouth (and the amount I shovel in Winking smile).

Every morning I make Cole something warm to start him off, the other morning he asked for Blueberry Pancakes so I whipped these up.  They were very yummy and great with the applesauce and whole wheat.  The boys ate them right up.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes - WW 1 Point

<p>I love to send my son off to school with a good breakfast, but I don&#8217;t want to have anything to heavy or high in fat. This is the perfect blend of yummy breakfast &#38; Low Cal.</p>

See Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes - WW 1 Point on Key Ingredient.

Next for dinner I threw this 3 Bean Turkey Chili in the Crockpot.  Yes this is from my favorite site SkinnyTaste!  This was a very yummy chili that I paired with a low fat cornbread.  Cole loves chili and came back for 2 bowls Smile.

Happy Monday everyone, it’s been a busy weekend of nothing … lol.  It was one of those weekends I just wasn’t motivated on Saturday, so Sunday it was a pack it all in kind of day … hehe!  Enjoy!

    Ohhh! All 3 are favorites! We LOOOOVE blueberry pancakes at our house. They work for EVERY meal. I'll have to try this version of it.

    And that apple crisp...mmmm...I can smell it now!

    I was just thinking this morning that when I put "personal growth" on my new Year's resolution list I wasn't talking about my arse!

    I love pancakes! As you know I'm trying to stay away from desserts (and failing).

    It was one of those weekends for me, too. I guess they all are.

    I like subbing with applesauce too. You can't even tell the difference. Your recipes look great!

    Blueberry pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts! I like your recipe. I am the same way I always want them to have something warm in the morning. even if they want cereal I always add a warm dish to go with it. Blessings, Joanne

    Everything looks great. I try to do healthy when I can, although you can't tell this from the recipes I post lol. My family hates turkey and anything whole wheat besides bread. I always mix it up while baking which I don't do often.
