Welcome to my Weight Watchers Friendly Weekly Recipe and Link Roundup
Encouragement and inspiration are critical whenever you’re trying to change your habits. This is especially true when the habits involve eating better, losing weight and creating a healthy balanced lifestyle.
Sticking with the slow and steady sensible balanced approach to lasting change can seem dull and out of step when everywhere you look people seem to be swinging between overindulgent excess and extreme deprivation based diets.
My mission is to provide you with a constant supply of motivating articles and Easy Healthy WW friendly recipes to encourage your pursuit of a happy, healthy, balanced life.
Here’s what I’ve got for you this week…

Meal Planning: On My Menu Next Week
After years of trial and error, I discovered that mapping out a rough outline of meals for the coming week is one of the most important things I can do for an easier, less stressful, more successful week.
Meal Planning makes staying on track with my healthy eating/weight management goals so MUCH EASIER. Once I have a plan I shop and do a meal prep on the weekend saving time and money all week long.
This Week’s Meal Plan Suggestions:
- Corn Chowder, Salad, Crusty Bread
- Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lentil Chili
- Curried Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime & Garlic, Rice & Peas
- WW Meat Loaf, Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Carrots
- Baked Sweet Potato Stuffed with Leftover Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lentil Chili and salad
Tired of trying to decide what to cook?

Weekly Weight Loss Devotional
I love devotionals. I’ve been reading them daily for years and recently felt the call to begin sharing a weekly devotional specific to weight loss with you here.
Reading the same devotional over and over every day for at least a week, until I have it committed to memory is powerful. The positive words soak into every part of my being refreshing me and giving me strength.
This week’s topic: Perspective
Easy Healthy WW Friendly Recipes & Links I Bookmarked Week:
This Guide to Peace for Anyone with A Crazy Mixed Up Mind is just what my overactive, overcritical mind needed to read this week.
Caramel Apple Slow Cooker Dump Cake – If a gooey caramel apple pie and a rich spice cake jumped into a slow cooker together you’d end up with a dessert like this, but thanks to Hungry Girl, the results are much lower in calories than that craziness would be.
If you want an easy vegetarian meal for meal prep, lunch, or dinner these easy Teriyaki Veggie Brown Rice Bowls are easy to make, full of flavor, and packed with healthy ingredients.
These easy 5-ingredient Chicken and Bean Enchiladas are a simple, filling and healthy weeknight dinner that will be a hit with the whole family.
Have a wonderful weekend!
