My sweet tooth is kicking my butt

Last week, I was okay with a little something sweet after dinner, but this week, my sweet tooth is getting the better of me.

Is it better to indulge a little (as I have been) or to just stay strong and get that sugar out of my system?

I've been having little tastes. Like today in our meeting, there were cupcakes! I LOVE cupcakes! Bypassing a cute little chocolate cupcake (my favorite) isn't at all like skipping on a cookie.

So I had half of one.

And I've been looking at Weight Watchers dessert recipes.

Like these...

Chocolate Banana Napolean
Chocolate Souffle
Mini Chocolate Mousse Tarts

Wow Meal: Peruvian Aji Verde Sauce

While it's not a meal, it will definitely make your meal! Alex made the most phenomenal aji verde sauce tonight to go with our dinner. Alex is half Peruvian, and I first had this sauce at a Peruvian restaurant in Brooklyn.

I found a Weight Watchers version of it yesterday, so we had to try it out.

The recipe shows it with roasted chicken, but we were looking for something simple tonight so we ate it with veggie quesadillas. It completely makes a dish!

Light and fresh and only 1.5 points per serving, it's a blend of jalapenos, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, half & half and a few other seasonings. I was a bit nervous about all the jalapenos, but Alex adjusted the combination a bit so it only had a little kick. Also, a little goes a long way!
