DARN IT!

I made a critical error at Chili's for lunch today.  I underestimated how much the PPV was for the chips.  They used to be 13 points for the whole basket.  They are now 27 PPV's :(  I wouldn't have had ANY!  I am ticked off at myself.  This is a PERFECT example of how guesstimating will bite us right in the end!

Any day with WPPA left if a GOOD day!

I went to Jason's Deli for lunch and did a good job sticking to my plan.  The pizza gave me some grief at dinner :(  I am still having lots of back pain left over from last week :p  I am ready to be all better :p  Would you like some more whine with that cheese???

Tomorrow is going to be a better day.  I have 31 WPPA left.  I have a my church Christmas party tomorrow night.  I have got to come up with a plan for that one.  I am planning on a bang up success story to tell y'all about :)

You really don't want to read this one :(

I was having the perfect day until I walked in the door after work, tired, to an oven with fresh garlic bread and DH's famous Pasta Alforno!  I had WAY too much bread and then candy to top it all off.  I am weak :(

Two-fer!

Sunday was an eating extravaganza disaster fiesta all rolled into one.  It was my youngest's birthday and we had family over to make gingerbread houses.  TOday went much better.  I still should be able to finish my week with the correct amount of points :)

RASPBERRY-CHOCOLATE CUPS

1 POINTSPLUS Value per Serving/ 12 Servings

Prep Time:  35 Minutes/ Cook Time:  2 Minutes/ Level of Difficulty:  Moderate

 

Ingredients:

 

6 TBSP semi-sweet chocolate chips

3 TBSP raspberry jam

 

Instructions:

 

1.  Place chocolate chips in a small microwavable bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 1 minute.

 

2.   Spoon 3/4 teaspoon of melted chocolate into a small foil candy cup (1-inch wide by 3/4 inch high).  Use a small flat paint brush to spread chocolate evenly over bottom and up sides.  Repeat with remaining cups, place them on a plate and refrigerate for 3 minutes or until chocolate is firm. 

 

3.  Spoon 3/4 teaspoon of jam into each chocolate-lined cup.  Tap bottom of each cup on counter to settle jam. 

 

4.  Reheat remaining melted chocolate in microwave, stirring every 10 seconds, until chocolate is completely smooth.  Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate over top of jam in a foil cup.  Use brush to spread chocolate to sides so that it seals in jam.  Repeat with remaining 11 foil cups. 

 

5.  Refrigerate 3 minutes or until chocolate is firm, or allow chocolate to firm up at room temperature, about 3 hours.  Yields 1 candy per serving.

(Note:  Look for foil candy cups at stores that sell bake-ware and kitchen gadgets.)
