Forgive the presentation - they drove 550 miles to get to me. |
Directions: Clean house like a mad woman for hours until it's ready for Mom's visit. An hour of "heavy cleaning" burns 278 calories if you're my weight. That means you can enjoy the goodies Mom brings!
Nutritional Info: Unavailable. However, a slice of pecan pie is usually around 450 calories a slice.
My mom came to visit for the weekend and brought pecan tarts with her. Sure, pecan pie is a major diet no-no, but Mom (who has lost 30 pounds in the past 8 months!) made her pie into mini "portion-controlled" tarts. And she brought some to me.
Pepper and Pumpkin Chili: Because this isn't really a recipe for you, here is a link to the Pumpkin Chili I put in the crock pot to be ready by the time Mom drove into town. I added leftover Thanksgiving turkey and used chicken broth instead of veggie broth. But I maintain that the red peppers are what really makes this recipe standout from others.
Nutritional Info: 128 calories, plus turkey calories
