Garlic Cheddar Biscuits and Sauteed Brussels Sprouts

December 8, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hello Everyone,

It’s Thursday, yah!  Finally, getting my hair done today, I am in desperate need.  My roots are showing so bad that I’m half tempted to go back to brown hair, but then again I’m afraid the grays will really show!  Eck!!!!  Plus it is really fun being a blonde.  🙂

I’m happy to report that as of Wednesday I made my workout calorie burn goal 1720, which is 20 over 1700. I know not by much, but I still have a couple days left.  I pushed myself a little harder this week for three reasons, big reason #1, COOKIES!  I can’t stop, really I’m eating like 10 or more a day,thats at least 1000 calories, not good!  I have a problem. I need to not make cookies any more but it’s so fun!  I have one more up my sleeve, really I need to stop!  I feel so guilty and I punish myself by eating more cookies!  Sounds weird huh?  The sad thing is I know what I’m doing and I can’t stop.  I guess I’m having a cookie binge.  #2 Reason, I have my hair appointment Thursday and I have a Christmas party on Friday, I won’t have time to exercise with work on either day.  #3 Reason, is because it’s good for me and it gives me my happy endorphin’s.

I know I always say I’m going to eat better, I’m going to show you better food and not even a few days later I have some sort of sweet, well tonight I have a healthy recipe to share with you.  My guilt was horrible so I turned to a blog I read for some inspiration “Skinny Taste“.   I found two recipes on there that I made this evening.

Easy Garlic Cheddar Biscuits


Sauteed Brussels Sprouts

And my Own Lemon Chicken

I do have to tell you I don’t like Brussels Sprouts!  I tried them steamed, I tried them roasted and I just don’t like them but my Husband does.  So I figured I will try this recipe and if I don’t like this, I am officially done with Brussels Sprouts!  Guess what, I liked it!  The garlic and shallots really added flavor to this dish.  They didn’t have that bitter taste to them at all!   I am so happy with them, that I actually packed some up to take to lunch tomorrow.  I’m shocked!!  However with all this fiber I consumed today, I am waiting for my stomach to explode. For breakfast I had about 1 1/2 cups of Roasted Butternut Squash with my eggs, lunch was about 2 cups of steamed Broccoli with cheese and now Brussels Sprouts for dinner. Holy Fiber overload!!  lol  Oh and an apple for snack, and a handful of blueberries. I’m trying so hard to eat better!

Here is the recipe for the Easy Cheddar Biscuits – Skinny Taste

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes 
Servings: 14 • Serving Size: 1 biscuit • Old Points: 2 pts • Points+: 3 pts
Calories: 97.3 • Fat: 3.9 g • Protein: 3.7 g • Carb: 13.0 g • Fiber: 0.0 g

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 cups Heart Smart Bisquick
  • 3.5 oz shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (Cabot 50% reduced fat)
  • 2/3 cup fat free milk

Preheat oven to 400°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Melt butter in a small frying pan, add half the garlic and saute on low heat about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add parsley.

In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and remaining garlic. Stir in milk and mix (do not over mix). Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls (1.5 oz each) onto prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes. Brush or drizzle biscuits with melted butter. Bake for 5 more minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.

NOTE:  I didn’t change the recipe at all, except I used Trader Joe’s Lite Blended Cheese and Brumble and Brown for Butter.  I calculated my calories and yup were pretty much the same!!


Sautéed Brussels Sprouts
Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 4 • Size: about 1/2 cup • Calories: 82 • Old Points: 1 pt • Points Plus: 2 pts
Calories: 86.2 • Fat: 3.7 g • Carbs: 11.9 • Fiber: 4.3 • Protein: 4.1 g

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb brussels sprouts (outer leaves removed and washed)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Finely shred the brussels sprouts after thoroughly washing. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil. Add shallots and sauté about 2 minutes, add garlic and saute until golden. Addbrussels sprouts, salt and pepper and sauté on medium-low for about 4-5 minutes.

NOTE:  Calories the same and I didn’t change a thing!  These were so good!  Thanks Gina for the recipe!  I loved them!  First recipe I tried with these green little guys that I actually liked and I will most definitely make them again!

For my chicken recipe, this was easy, preheat oven to 400, Sprinkle lemon pepper on chicken, place lemon slices on top and bake in a pyrex dish sprayed with cooking spray for 25 – 30 minutes.  I used Trader Joe’s Lemon Pepper, love the stuff!  Calories 120 calories for 4 oz of chicken!

I thought I’d give you my workout from last week.  This helps keep me accountable for my workouts!

Sunday – Nothing rest day

Monday – Kickboxing – 40 minutes

Tuesday – Full body Circuit Training – 40 minutes and 10 minutes jump roping

Wednesday – 1.5  Mile walk, 30 minutes jump roping, 40 minutes kickboxing

    I feel you on the blonde roots thing! Haha. It helps if you’re tall so it’s harder for people to notice… 🙂

    These biscuits look great. I definitely want to make them soon.

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

🌸
I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
