Sunday Funday ... Downtown Disney!

Since we were in Anaheim this weekend for the game ... and had time to kill (all day) Sunday, before picking up Jeff's buddy from LAX ... we decided to check out Downtown Disney!

 It was very "Disney-esque" .. we loved every minute of it. I only wish we could have seen Mickey! They have the coolest shops here. I even loved looking around Goofy's Candy Co. and not buying anything! They have the coolest Disney specialty treats like marshmallows put together to look like Olaf from Frozen, or Mickey shaped caramel apples. I had a blast just looking at all of them!

We accidentally found the entrance to Disneyland!! EEEeeekkkkk!!!  Little did we know, it's all connected here in California! Very cool to see the signature train station, right here behind us. We wanted to go in SO bad. We already can't wait to go in September. ::Are we there yet?!::

We also LOVE Earl of Sandwich. We totally blew the diet for this .. #worthit
The only Earl of Sandwich they have back home in Michigan, is in the airport. We only get this once a year when we go to Disney WORLD in Florida OR if we travel out of the right terminal. We were beyond excited :)

We had such a good time walking around Downtown Disney, getting a sneak peak of a few hotel lobby's and getting a YUMMY dinner ... but we were also happy to get back to our new home!

Orange Beef & Broccoli - WW Friendly

We went to the commissary yesterday and this was one of the things I could make in our make-shift kitchen. Weight Watcher friendly and all ... so, I went for it!

This might be an actual Weight Watchers recipe ... I'm not claiming this one, although ... I wish I could! YUM



Sorry for the crappy pictures. I didn't think to post this recipe on the blog until after the fact.. this was my Instagram pic. {Do you follow me? Twillman87}

Here's the recipe! Nice and easy!

12 oz. broccoli
1/3 c. fat free low sodium beef broth
1/3 c. low sugar / sugar free orange marmalade
2 Tbl. low sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbl. cornstarch
1 lb. steak (we used sirloin trimmed and cut into thin slices)
cooking spray

Microwave broccoli per directions.
Combine broth, marmalade, soy and salt.
Place cornstarch in shallow bowl and dredge steak in cornstarch.
Heat a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Coat pan w/ spray and add steak and saute 5 mins or until browned.
Add broth mixture, cook 1 min or until thick ... stir in broccoli.

About 6 WW points per cup ... We also made brown rice to go along with it :)

Enjoy! Let me know what you think! Jeff loved it ... that's why I love cooking for him :) He loves everything I make and he always makes sure to tell me he liked it! Love that guy!!
