Hey there. Life has gotten very chaotic in our households! The wedding is three days away EEK!!! We are super excited and stressed out all at once. We can’t wait for Jennifer’s big day šŸ™‚

Not to mention that Vicki’s precious dog Starbuck has been at the vet for three days. He is a geriatric pup that constantly licks our hard wood floors. Well, last week he ate some remnants of our Fall mantel decor. Apparently the flower Lantana isĀ extremelyĀ toxic and Starbuck licked up the flower petals that fell to the floor and he has had a severe reaction but we are assured he will be okay. On top of all of this Vicki is having hardwood floors installed to the second floor landing of the home as well as the staircase. Timing is not ideal but, aforementioned pup was VERY ill and took it out on the carpeting – so this needed immediate attention.

With everything we are going through we thought we’d bring you another Recipe Rewind. This is one of the very first recipes we brought you when we started our blog and it continues to be popular. Enjoy…

Jennifer and I are doing the Weight Watchers Program. We have both had success with the program and are very proud of our accomplishments so far. Ā We will share more about our weight loss journey in a later post…stay tuned šŸ™‚

Part of our success is cooking healthy meals. I really enjoy browsing through the Weight Watchers site for recipes. The recipes need to be Ā easy and quick and packed with flavor.

Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms - I can't believe it's Weight Watchers

Last night it was time to try Ā another Weight Watchers recipe. Ā I love the Kitchen Companion App that is available to Weight Watchers members. Ā I just enteredĀ into the recipe search engineĀ the food I had in the fridge that I thought would compliment each other ā€“ chicken, mushrooms and garlic. Voila ā€“ Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms popped up.

Hereā€™s what you need – not including the chicken:
