Red Baron Holidays

This post is sponsored by Red Baron but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

How many times during the week do you hear someone in your house say, "What's for dinner?" I hear it far too often! And with the holidays, and sports schedules our days and evenings are busy. Thankfully Red Baron pizza saves the days frequently in our house because we all love pizza night!

Pizza seems to be the one meal in our house that everyone agrees with! And it doesn't seem to matter the flavor, we love it all. The kids especially love cheese! Travis loves Supreme and Zach and I always want Mexican Style pizza! But often times we add Hawaiian into the mix. As I said, we aren't picky with our Red Baron pizza!

Honestly though, this time of year is so busy for everyone. And I love that Red Baron pizza gives such great dinner options. We love the Classic Crust!

Each night it seems like we have something going on. And it can be hectic, but it doesn't have to be. Head over and check out what Red Baron has to offer. 

Every night I dish up dinner on our glass plates and serve them. So one thing I do for myself, to give myself "a night off", is grab out some paper plates (these one courtesy of the most recent birthday party).  That way when dinner is done I am not stuck with a bunch of clean up after dinner. 

Obviously, Tyler is enjoying pizza night! 

What is your favorite Red Baron Pizza?

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

One thing people worry about with "dieting" is not getting to eat their favorite foods. But that is honestly just one of the things I love about doing WW. And that is why I love this Weight Watchers friendly Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

Since starting WW back in March I have definitely eliminated some of my favorite foods. But not because I have to. I have chosen to still eat Salt and Vinegar chips, just not the entire bag in one sitting. I still have nachos and taco salad, but I make my own tortilla chips.  And I changed up the Broccoli Cheddar Soup that I make to make it work better for me and my goals.

A few years back I shared this soup recipe, and I love it. It is delicious. But I don't make it regularly because of the butter, flour, and half and half. Then I found a new, weight watchers friendly recipe and thought I'd give it a try.  I am not always positive when it comes to trying healthier recipes because I figure they can never be as good as, or better than a "full fat" recipe, right? But this is. It really is! It only has 4 ingredients and is amazing.

3 cans of Chicken Broth (I use reduced sodium, 14.5 oz cans)
2 pounds of broccoli
1 can of diced tomatoes, no salt added, 14 oz can
1 small can of diced green chilies
10 oz Velveeta reduced-fat cheese

If using a crockpot, combine all ingredients and put on low for 8 hours, high for 4 hours.

If using the stovetop, mix together ingredients except the cheese, simmer on low for approx 2 minutes, until broccoli is tender. Add cubed cheese and simmer until cheese is melted.

This serves 10, and each serving is about a heaping cup
3 freestyle points per serving.
