Dinner: Tried a mixed brown rice from Trader Joe's (YUM!) with Foil packet chicken, sweet potato, onion and carrot

Foil Packet Chicken and Vegetables:
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (130 grams) - 4 points plus
Medium sweet potato (143 grams) - 3 points plus
1/4 cup of carrots - 0 points plus
1/2 small vidalia onion - 0 points plus

Place 1 chicken thigh, 1/2 sweet potato cut in medium chunks, 1/2 small vidalia onion and 4 or 5 carrots onto a piece of foil.  Sprinkle with pink Himalayan sea salt, cracked black pepper, rosemary, and thyme.  Make a tight package with the foil.  Bake on a sheet pan at 350 degrees F for 30 - 45 minutes, until potatoes are tender. 

1 cup of brown rice medley (Trader Joe's) cooked with 1 tsp olive oil (my portion) and fresh garlic - 6 points


Total: 13 points plus

Chicken Gyros, Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, French Green Beans

Let me start by saying this, I am a Trader Joe's fanatic.  They have interesting foods there, most are reasonably priced, you can find great stuff for all tastes and diets.  Today I bought some Tzatziki cucumber sauce to use on top of chicken "gyros" I made for dinner.  This sauce is amazing!  And it has 2 ppv for 4 tablespoons! I think I'm in love! :)

17 point plus dinner
2 medium white pitas from Trader Joe's - 6 points plus value
4 ounces of chicken breast, cut in strips and pan grilled with oregano, garlic, salt and pepper - 4 points plus value
1 ounce of full fat Feta cheese - 2 points plus value
4 tablespoons of Trader Joe's Tzatziki cucumber sauce - 2 points plus value
1 cup of french cut green beans, steamed and then sauteed with fresh onion, salt, pepper and garlic - 0 points plus value
1 cup of Alexia sweet potato waffle fries, baked - 3 points plus value



This was a great dinner. I am full and felt like I got more than enough yummy stuff to eat.

I still have 20 points plus left for today!  10 of that will be used for a big glass of red wine, the other 10.... probably something with peanut butter!
