Today's task is to list 10 things I'm thankful for:

1. The amazing God I serve who is faithful to forgive and loves me unconditionally.

2. My wondeful family who despite my flaws and quirky personality, loves me as much as I love them!

3. My daughter. She is my best friend and partner in all things fun!

4. My job! I have been truly blessed to have a wonderful class this year. This is the 3rd year in a row that I have had such a great group. I count my blessings every day and this is right there on top. www.msdaviskindergarten.com

5. My best friends. They make work and life bearable. I covet their prayers.

6. My health. I am proud to be making healthier choices for my daughter and I now.

7. Answered prayers. God's timing is perfect. I trust in Him and am forever thankful for the prayers He does and does not answer on my behalf. His ways are perfect.

8. My online friends. I LOVE looking at the awesome blogs online and making friends with other Christian moms out there doing what I do.

9. My parents. They are a wonderful support system to me and I so value their wisdom, insight and opinions and prayers.

10. My home. It was an answer to prayer. God had it picked out for me beyond a shadow of a doubt.

A Delicious Dinner

As I am restarting again on Weight Watchers, my goal has been to cook more at home and eat out less. In my attempts to do just that, I have come up with a delicious, low point but most importantly, FILLING meal. It is healthy, easy to prepare and both my 10 year old daughter and I gave it a 2 thumbs up.

"Taco-Potatoes"

1 large potato (3 pts.)
3 tbs. light sour cream (1 pt.)
1 cup of salsa (0 points!!)
1/8 cup of low fat shredded cheese (1 pt.)
1/2 cup 85/15 lean ground beef (w/ taco seasoning) (2.5 pts.)
Handful of chopped, fresh, green onion & tomato (0 pts.)

I put the potatoes in the crock pot so they were ready when I got home from work. I quickly browned the ground beef, added the taco seasoning and some salsa. Once that was ready, I piled all of my ingredients on top of my potato and dug in! It is a great, easy recipe coming in at 7.5 points.
