Day 70

It's Spring Break!  What does that mean for me.......Spring Cleaning!  Since getting our house decluttered is a top priority before we put our house on the market, we decided to send the boys up to Georgia to visit their grandparents this week. 

 It is amazing how much easier it is to "chunk" stuff without your kids there to remind you of how Buzz & Woody felt in Toy Story when they were given away.  Needless to say.......I'm 3 days into my cleaning frenzy and I've gotten MUCH more done than I ever would have imagined.  I miss my kiddo's like crazy though.  Thanks to the wonders of Facetime, we've been able to "see" them even while they are away. 

I pinned the recipe for Tex-Mex Chicken Salad a few weeks ago & made it today.  It is delicious! I changed a few things from the original recipe, mainly because I can't stand fat-free mayo.  Even with the "real thing", it's still only 7 points per serving.  Here's my version of the recipe.

Tex-Mex Chicken Salad

6 servings

7 Points+ Per Serving

Ingredients:

1 whole Rotisserie Chicken, shredded

2 tbsp. mayo

1/2 c. plain greek yogurt 0% fat

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp chili powder

1 small sweet red pepper, chopped

1 small green pepper, chopped

2 medium uncooked scallions, sliced

11 oz. can sweet yellow corn, drained & rinsed

1 c. low-sodium black beans, drained & rinsed

Combine ingredients & chill.  

 

As I continue to clean and declutter, I can gain comfort from the fact that I'm burning calories in the process.  Remember.......Everything 4:13!
