Blueberry Pie Bars

April 10, 2013

I knew the moment these popped up on my radar, I would be making a batch that day. And since an abundance of fresh blueberries have been showing up in my local markets lately, it seemed like kismet. For the last month, I’ve been back on the ol’ WW wagon with a strict mentality… one [...]

{Zero-Point} Tropical Fruit Smoothie

March 21, 2013

After working my way through Weight Watchers for the past two years, I’ve become super-comfortable in my routines.
