Posted on January 2nd, 2012 Happy New Year, everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful, safe, and delicious holiday season. But, the party is over – it’s 2012 now, and there are no more excuses to avoid getting back on track with healthy eating. Sorry for the delay in recent recipe posting, but I was slammed with holiday gatherings [...]
Posted on July 1st, 2011 Sometimes, I just really don’t feel like cooking. And when I feel like that, it’s important that I have some healthy, low calorie convenience foods on hand, or I’ll wind up at the nearest fast food drive thru. One of my recent finds are these amazingly yummy vegetable souffles from Garden Lites. They are PERFECT to pop in the microwave, and in 3-4 minutes, I have a healthy breakfast, lunch or snack.
Posted on June 22nd, 2011 French onion soup is one of my all time favorite dishes…it’s loaded with flavor and smothered with cheese and toasted bread. But a traditional French Onion Soup can run pretty high in fat and calories, costing a lot of Weight Watchers Points +. My lower calorie version boasts just 5 Points + per serving for a very nice sized bowl (notice I did not say “cup”) with a full slice of bread and some cheese on top.
Posted on June 15th, 2011 Serve Dad this juicy, flavorful, Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola and Caramelized Onions for his Father’s Day Dinner this Sunday, and it’s sure to be a hit! With just 7 Points + per serving, this easy steak recipe is the perfect dish for the manly, meat-loving man, but yet also an ideal dish for a Weight Watcher. The flavors are fantastic and rich, and it tastes nothing like a low calorie steak recipe.
Posted on June 9th, 2011 It is my firm belief that the French can do no wrong when it comes to food. I will eat ANY French food. Seriously. I even enjoyed escargot. Rich, creamy traditional bisque recipes are something that I think are truly delicious and are always a hit when I serve them to my family. One weekend, a few months ago, my husband took me out to a fancy French restaurant, where I threw my Points Plus allowance to the wind, and I indulged in the most sensational foods. It was GLORIOUS.
Posted on May 2nd, 2011 Dreaming of delicious, healthy, low calorie blueberry pancakes for Mother’s Day Brunch this Sunday? Well try this Blueberry Ricotta Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe and indulge in a decadent meal while still staying within your daily Points Plus allowance. Each 2 pancake serving has just 4 Points +, and they are soooooo yummy!
