I had a little snack last night before class. I tried these:
Well, actually, I only tried one of them. They were surprisingly good. They are Weight Watchers Smart Ones Fiesta Quesadillas. And the reason I have been getting so many WW ones is because they have been on sale. So it's not that I don't like other brands, I am just cheap. 🙂
I was a bit skeptical when I read that they would have a crunchy shell. I thought to myself, “Yeah, right!” But sure enough, the shell was crunchy. You put it in a little sleeve like a hot pocket would have and heat it up. It was very tasty. I was impressed.
There are two quesadillas in the package and two sleeves. So you can make them one at a time and put the other back in the freezer. They make for a very tasty little snack.
For an early Anniversary gift, Chuck did oodles of research and comparing and shopping and found a new set of pots and pans that suited our needs.
There was a bonus pot that also came with it, but that isn't shown.
I required two things from this new set…dishwasher safe (because I HATE handwashing things. I think it's dumb) and non-stick (because….well, just because I needed it). I am not skilled enough to use stainless steel pans even though they are better and blah blah blah. I need non-stick surfaces! 🙂
So far I am very happy with them. They boil water like I have never seen! I haven't been home much to cook in them, but I hope to use them more soon.
Also, Chuck's sister and her new husband have moved in with us while they are in between houses. So I am sure we'll be cooking more with them around and I know they will be using them, too.
May your cooking be as happy as my cooking has now become!

3. My sister-in-law and her hubby move in for a while today. (They are in transition from selling and buying a new house and we are really excited to have them stay with us for a while.)
4. Getting my first exam back.
5. Having a hot dinner before class.
I recently discovered there is a microwave in the building next to the one I have my classes in. There are also machines with hot chocolate and food to purchase and heat in the microwave. Yesterday I brought this meal to heat up and have for dinner.
This is much better than the usual not-eating-dinner-at-all that I have been doing on nights I have class. Or I bring a small snack and forget to eat it. Then by the time class is over I am starving and don't get to my car to get anything until an hour or more after that. So by then I just don't bother. But it really isn't the best decision.
It was quite tasty. Of course I love pasta, so I haven't really found many I don't like, but I know I will be trying some more of these meals. The other one I tried recently was pretty good, too. I have a couple more to try, but those are from Lean Cuisine.
You can see more meals they have to offer at the Weight Watchers Smart Ones website.
Do you have any frozen meals you really like that I should try?
Chuck sent this to me this morning. It's too funny not to share!

If you don't get it, let me know. I'll explain further. But I really hope you get it! Because I NEVER get any jokes…and even I got this one! 🙂
