 A friend of mine from church has been on Weight Watchers and lost like 30 lbs.  She recommended the following YouTubers for recipes: @jennclayton @LowCarbLove (lost over 100 lbs. and has kept it off. She posts IG reels of recipes which look pretty easy.)       If you try anything you like, post it here so we can find it easily.

I started using Swagbucks again and signed up for netflix!

I started using swagbucks as my home page again. I had a little under 1300 points with which I was able to redeem $10.00 Amazon gift cards.I haven't used swagbucks in a year so I was impressed that I still had an account with them. I found out that you can apply the gift cards to your amazon account which doesn't expire and you can have waiting for your next amazon purchase. I got 1000 swagbucks for signing up for netflix for one month trial period. if i decide to keep it, $7.99 a month for netflix.

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.
