Posted on August 5th, 2011 For the category of quick, low calorie convenience foods that taste delicious, Gorton’s Seafood takes the prize. They have an amazing selection of perfectly portioned and prepared frozen fish fillets that average around 8o calories each. My favorite is the Roasted Garlic and Butter Grilled Tilapia Fillets, which clock in at just 2 Weight Watchers Points Plus per serving.
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 June 1st, 2011 This delicious and super easy low calorie Maryland Crab Cakes Recipe is perfect as an appetizer, main dish or side dish. Most traditional crab cake recipes use a lot of mayonnaise and are fried, thus making for a pretty high PointsPlus meal. But by altering the recipe with some healthier ingredients and using a high fiber breadcrumb mixture, each of these tasty cakes are just 3 Points + each.
Posted on May 23rd, 2011 Pan fried in a delicious lemon garlic butter sauce, this is one low calorie shrimp recipe that is one of my go to shrimp dinner ideas. It can be prepared very quickly, and it has fabulous flavor. The veggies bulk it up, so you get a hearty dish that’s satisfying as opposed to a skimpy portion.
Posted on May 4th, 2011 My husband LOVES a good seafood chowder, but it’s been hard to find a Weight Watchers Seafood Chowder Recipe that I really like. And then I came across a seafood chowder casserole recipe on Food.com that sounded ideal! I worked on it for a while, and revamped the dish to make it a lot more Weight Watchers friendly.
Posted on March 2nd, 2011 With Spring just around the corner and the sun peeking out every now and then, why not break out the grill?! This delicious Grilled Salmon Recipe with Tomatoes and Basil not only looks beautiful, it tastes great and is super healthy. The fresh tomatoes and kick of garlic and basil add a lot of zing, and give some life to the salmon. I’m typically not a fan of salmon recipes, or salmon in general.
