I made a lighter Alfredo sauce yesterday and put it over penne pasta (no fettuccine in Aldi). It was delicious but still a little heavy on the points and calories so I can’t make it often. Tonight I made baked lemon dill salmon with roasted green beans and garlic basil quinoa. It was as good as it sounds and only 4 points. I did have breyers delights ice cream (like halo top) for dessert so I ended up over my recommended points by four - but with the freestyle program you have 42 “free” points to use during the week in case you go over. So as long as I don’t go over my total weekly points I should be good.

I’m planning on going to Cracker Barrel tomorrow with my son because I got $50 in gift cards for Christmas from my family (who obviously does not know my restaurant tastes at all lol). I know they don’t have too much healthy food. I’m studying the menu in advance to try to find something lighter. They do have a lighter fare section on their menu now. I’m also going to keep my points low for breakfast and lunch.

Day three in the books.
