Egg cups are a very versatile idea for a quick, on-the-go breakfast. If you use Egg Beaters and egg whites, you cut down on the fat and in turn the points. Try adding reduced fat cheese, spinich, ham, or turkey sausage.
FRESH INGREDIENTS
Shop for ingredients, not meals. Strive to prepare meals from scratch – say, a chef’s salad, or a taco – you’ll be able to include fresh ingredients and it will be much better than a meal off the shelf.
TRY SOMETHING NEW
Don't be afraid to try a new recipe or a new product. It might become your new favorite!

Weigh-In Wednesday
Today was the unofficial start of WW @ Work. Next week will be the official weigh-in and start of the meetings. We will also have etools available to us which I'm looking forward to.
I actually started tracking my WW points today so that I can do a test run before next week. Hopefully this will get me in the mood to lose!

Recipe of the Week- 7 Points Plus
Every Tuesday I will try to include a new recipe for you to try. You can also share your recipes in the "comments" section. Today's recipe is from Laaloosh. BBQ Chicken Wrap. Number of servings- 4
7 Points Plus for the whole sandwich.
Ingredients
• 4 large, high fiber tortillas (I used Large La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low Carb Tortillas
• 8 oz shredded, skinless rotisserie chicken breast
• 1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup corn (thawed if frozen, drained if canned)
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup red onion, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• Juice from 1 lime, freshly squeezed
Instructions
1. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add all ingredients except tortillas, carrots, cilantro and cabbage; stir to combine. Cook until hot, 4 to 5 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, and cilantro.
3. Assemble the wraps by equally diving the cabbage mixture between the 4 tortillas, and place in the center of each tortilla. Top with one-fourth of the chicken mixture; roll as you would a burrito.
4. Slice in half diagonally and serve warm.
