Baking Sunday

Already Sunday - the weekend went by so fast!! Yesterday, we went to visit my parents who just came back from almost 3 months in Venezuela - lots of catching up to do... so baked some muffins!! And since I started WW (again!), decided to try out some WW muffins.  I also had to use up some pears, so made Glazed-Pear-Muffins-Weight-Watchers-353694 - made the glaze with lemon juice instead of water - DELICIOUS!!

then, today, since it is Sunday, baked 4-Points-Diet-Soda-Cake-130793 - good way to have some chocolate cake, without all the calories! Bringing this to the office tomorrow to share with my WW buddies!!

First Burger of the Year!

Finally was warm enough last Saturday to have a BBQ!  Too cold to eat outside - but Ben was able to grill our first burgers of the year!!  Mmmm - added some Laughing Cow Cheese on top - light burgers and oh so tasty!

Cow in the Field

Made a new friend yesterday - too bad he doesn't fit in my house!!

Used Rita's Butterscotch action on these (love that action!)

Think this is too funny...

Baking Sunday

Different twist to my Sunday baking... Decided last week, at the last minute, to restart Weight Watchers. My office organized a group and, even though I was not ready mentally (will I ever be??!!), decided to join.  I have kept away from the scale - can't wait to see next Tuesday how it went! Signed up for 20 weeks - hope to lose 20 pounds (but will be happy with not gaining anymore!!)

I think I spent an hour today wondering what to make today... so hard to find something light and tasty! I have plenty of WW books and lots of blogs to look at... finally my choice landed on Chocolate-Crunch-Cooking-Light-287688 - granola with a little bit of chocolate.  Didn't use honey, used maple syrup and added a little less brown sugar.  Will have this for dessert tonight! What do you think??!!

Lachine by the water

Went for a long walk last Saturday - it had been a while since I walked the shore of Lake St-Louis. 

Not sure which I like the best - used Amanda's grunge action on these!

Polar Bear in Downtown Montreal!!!

Right beside my office building...
They installed at the end of February an iced polar bear... The bear is there until it melts (!) to show the impact of climate change.  Too bad I didn't get to see the full sized iced polar bear!!
Here's the link explaining the use of the polar bear:
