Part of our success is cooking healthy meals. I really enjoy browsing through the Weight Watchers site for recipes. The recipes need to be easy and quick and packed with flavor.
when I saw this Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms recipe, I knew it would be perfect for dinner. We have had success with the WW program and are very proud of our accomplishments so far. We will share more about our weight loss journey in a later post…stay tuned 🙂
