If you’re like millions of Americans, you will be starting a diet this new year. I remember when I was first starting, I didn’t know which way to turn. Weight Watchers? South Beach? Juicing? Low Carb? Low Cal? Jenny Craig? Atkins? There are SO MANY plans to chose from. For me, I wanted something to work and that wouldn’t break the bank. I had heard that Weight Watchers worked for a lot of people, but essentially…it’s calorie counting with different numbers.

I’m obsessed with my crockpot. I use it more than I use my oven. With my new healthy lifestyle, I’ve been very strategic in my meal planning. So I was at the grocery store and saw that turkeys were on sale. I thought to myself, “Hmm…I’d love to make a turkey…I never have!” And that’s when I saw an all white meat turkey breast. BINGO! Perfect. So on Saturday night, I set it out and let it thaw, seasoned it and popped it in the crockpot to bake all Sunday. Then I sliced it up and make 6 lunches all under 400 calories and so yummy!
