Tropical Tuesday Menu 9-6-11

Holy moly it was hot today---and humid!  SO humid!  It reminded me of Hawaii, so I craved Hawaiian food from the start.  I decided to try an experiment in the crock pot and man was it a success. I love when that happens. Today was pretty chill.  The kids and I hit up two stores but otherwise stayed inside with our air conditioning.  I didn't get a whole lot done today, just random cleaning and taking care of the kiddos.  So anyway, here is what my menu looked like today:

Breakfast (10 pts)
My lightened up version of a Jack-in-the-Box Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich, 1 1/2 c. fresh organic strawberries and 2 lattes each made with 1/2 c. skim organic milk, 1/2 Tbsp sugar free hazelnut creamer and Splenda.

Lunch (9 pts)
A big bowl of leftover albondigas (thawed from the deep freezer.)

Dinner (18 pts) 
Slow-cooker Hawaiian style chicken (with onions, garlic, pineapple and mandarins in a rich sauce), shredded and placed on a King's Hawaiian sandwich bun and topped with a sweet,  homemade Hawaiian style coleslaw (SO refreshing) and served with a 1 oz side of Hawaiian style sweet & spicy BBQ kettle chips. And to drink, a Diet Shasta Lemon Lime Twist. I was supposed to make homemade sweet & spicy chipotle sweet potato fries with this but there was NO way I was about to run the oven today, so I ran to the store for some chips instead. Please excuse the sloppy picture; this was a delicious, but messy meal.

Dessert (0 pts)
A big bowl of watermelon chunks

I ended up using 37/36 points today, so I now have only one weekly point to last until Sunday, but at least it was worth it this time!  My menu today did not disappoint. I feel like I'm back on track.
