Spooky Halloween Meringue Swirls

1. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Did you take care of your Halloween celebrations yet? Or are you partying hard tonight? For me, the partying was reserved for the weekend so tonight I’ll be home with the pups who will be barking all night as the doorbell goes off repeatedly for the cute little children asking for free candy. With a bowl of chili and a sorta scary movie (something that won’t actually make me have bad dreams, you know. Like Nightmare Before Christmas!), there’s not much more I’d rather be doing.

2. I personally am not a huge hour fan, but I am a fan of creepy. Adding all of these books to my list ASAP. The Likeness looks so good. Which one would you read first?

3. Song of the Week is This Is HalloweenDUH.  (more…)

Avocado Ricotta Tomato Pesto Layer Dip

https://ift.tt/2CNdp9A

Avocado Ricotta Tomato Pesto Layer Dip is a new take on the classic layered dips that you grew up with. Instead of seven layers, this 5-layer dip is creamy and rich, without being too heavy. Served on top of crunchy, toasted bread, it’s an easy appetizer that you can even make ahead of time!

Did you grow up with those classic seven-layer dips as a kid? I sure did.

I used to look forward to the classic recipe every Sunday when people would flood our house during football season. It was one of those recipes that people would inevitably bring because, not only is it tasty, it’s also ridiculously easy to make.

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (October 29-November 4)

A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.

A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! It’s stormy and cold here, so I added some of my favorite comfort food recipes to the meal plan this week.

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Nothing says Fall like a big pot of chili. Especially when you add pumpkin to it! We enjoy chili quite often this time of year, a few favorites are Crock Pot Taco Chili, this No-Bean Turkey Chili and this Turkey Pumpkin White Bean Chili, which is similar to this recipe, only without the tomatoes and spinach.

The Ultimate Guide to Denver Pizza and Beer | cakenknife.com #pizza #beer #colorado

1. So the Man and I have been trying to incorporate a weekly game night into our routine. Whether it’s with friends or just us, it’s been giving us something different to do! The only thing is, we need MORE suggestions to keep things interesting. Any of my lovely readers out there have any card games, board games, or Denver spots to recommend for a game night? Group and date night recommendations are greatly welcomed my friends!

2. There’s been a lot of talk among my friends about self-care lately, which I think it SO important. It’s not always the easiest thing to make ourselves the priority, let alone figure out what can give us the most happiness and calm. These 6 exercises in self-love are a fantastic place to start for those of you who are trying to make it a daily practice like I am.

3. Song of the Week is Solo by Oh Wonder. I am SUPER into this band right now, and this song is ideal for a rainy or snowy day. Or just a walk through the fall leaves 😉  (more…)

No, not just because it’s spooky and totally makes me feel like a real adult whenever I’m sipping on it (even when I’m celebrating Halloween).

If you know anything about me, you know that I prefer strong, bold cocktails. I like to taste the flavors of the liquor and other ingredients in every sip, so nothing is lost in the glass.
