All About Choices


For most of my life I was on a diet and I would lose only to gain it back!!

I am settling into a lifestyle of making food choices that I can maintain for the rest of my life!!

I am making daily decisions regarding eating healthy food that I can enjoy.  AND not feel deprived!!

I am on the search for recipes that are easy to make and low in WW points!!

Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Roll up and cut into 12 pieces. Place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and flatten and add an egg wash.
