The 16 point Sandwich

This morning I knew that I would have to buy lunch-- My Managing Director was going to walk into my store and inspect every little nook and cranny. He didn't but he did have a lot of helpful suggestions.(I worked from 7am-9pm last night and i was back in the office at 7:30 am today. Not fun!) So, what I didn't plan on doing was having a sandwich worth 16 points. Corner Bakery offers a Green Chile & Chicken Sandwich -made with all-natural jicama slaw, diced tomatoes, white cheddar cheese and roasted garlic mayonnaise. It doesn't sound so bad. When I got back to my office I looked up the nutritional facts and O-M-G! And to be honest, it wasn't that great. I had a better 7 point sandwich at Subway last night!

Cooking is not a strong point for me. I've lived in a household where Mom has cooked all my meals since I was a child. (Yes, I know that must sound terrible). Our meals usually consist of meat or chicken, lots of rice and possibly beans. Now that I am changing the way I eat, it's hard to walk in and expect a healthier option. She won't cook with olive oil, she won't stop frying things, the sweet bread/croissants don't stop, our cereals are: lucky charms, cookie crips, frosted flakes, trix.. ahh! I can do this. I bought a Weightwatchers cookbook in hopes that I can start cooking my own food. I have to learn one day, right? All I know how to make now is chicken (on a George Foreman Grill) and that's about it. I don't know how much seasoning to add to things, I'm not like my Mom :(
She's awesome. Makes something amazinly delicious out of nothing.

The 16 point sandwich. It does look like a lot of points!
