PARTY!

Let's get this party started!! 

OK, let's go for activity points.  I will give a goal on Saturday for an amount of AP for us to collect.  Once we get that goal we will party.

I am think of an 80's theme, since that era is pretty much the origination of aerobics.  How about it, can we get up and go?

Yes we can!


At no point in my life is the above picture me!!

carbs, 6g fiber, 6g sugars, 8.5g protein --

PointsPlus™ value 6*

Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

4 1/2 oz. (about 2 cups) uncooked whole-wheat-blend or high-fiber rotini pasta (like the

kind by Ronzoni)

24 oz. (about 6 cups) frozen Green Giant Broccoli & Cheese Sauce

3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese

Optional: salt and black pepper

Directions:

In a large pot, prepare pasta according to the instructions on the package; drain well

and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the broccoli & sauce package in

a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until sauce has melted and broccoli

is hot, 10 - 12 minutes.

Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and add cooked

pasta. Unwrap cheese wedges and add those as well.

Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the cheese wedges are evenly distributed and the pasta

and broccoli are coated in cheese sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if you

like, and then enjoy!

dreams Come True

Follow Your Dreams



Follow your dream

Take one step at a time.

Don't settle for less

Just continue to climb.



Follow your dream.

If you stumble, don't stop

And lose sight of your goal.

Press on to the top.



For only at the top

Can we see the whole view

Can we see what we've done

And what we can do.

We then have the vision

To see something new



Press on.... Press on....

For your dreams to come true.
