Food Scale
I have a new kitchen toy!! This time my new kitchen appliance is a food scale.
Please ignore my dirty stove, this was (scary enough) the cleanest available surface in my kitchen. Anyways. This is a digital food scale that I bought at Aldi’s for $20. So far I LOVE it. I’m following the weight watchers program, and this has been great for portioning out things for my meals… the amount of turkey for my sandwich, pasta to cook, etc. I also used it to perfectly portion out various snacks into convenient one-portion snack-sized baggies!
There you can see my pile of pretzels, baked Cheetos, animal crackers, and Baked Tositos. Incidentally, the Weight Watchers thing is part of why I haven’t been cooking a lot lately… all of the things I know how to cook are fattening and unhealthy! Hmm… maybe that’s how *I* got fat and unhealthy in the first place.
Ah well, hopefully there will be more (perfectly portioned) recipes featured here in the near future!

Wow, that is such a nifty idea. I never even think about separating snacks into small baggies to control my portion size. I just take the whole bag and then end up eating more than what I should.
Thanks for the lovely tip. I’m definitely going to be using that one from now on.
Good idea for those who can discipline themselves. LOL, I will probably take double portion if I like the snacks.
That’s what we need — a kitchen scale. But I’m hesitant to fork out more than $50 for that just yet. Haha.
Great that you have the portions in baggies. I can finish “munchie” boxes in ONE sitting. yikes.
