These days, when I think of Weight Watchers I don’t think about the points – I’m not really counting points or following the diet, I just like to think I’m eating a little healthier. Instead I think about how yummy my dinner is going to be. Of course, there are some Weight Watchers meals that [...]

Haddock Burgers
November 12, 2009
I’m a huge fan of burgers. Massive burgers that leave me with a dislocated jaw. I would probably be happy eating burgers everyday. Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration but you know what I mean. Even if I were to eat burgers everyday, I would eventually get bored and I’d have to find another type of [...]
I will call this post “delicious”
November 7, 2009
Jay and I agree that pizza is one of those things we could never get sick of. When I think of takeout and ordering food I automatically think of pizza. In my mind, there are three constant ingredients – dough, sauce, and cheese. After that, the pizza is an empty canvas begging to be filled [...]
Honey Teriyaki Salmon and Rice
September 29, 2009
This was definitely a winner! From the Weight Watchers Turn Around Program book I made this amazing salmon last night. The recipes in that book are alright but some are fantastic. Here’s the recipe: Makes 4 servings, is worth 4 points per fillet 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp chopped peeled fresh ginger 1 [...]
What I did with a Tex-Mex Mushroom Ragout
September 29, 2009
A few days ago I made a vegetarian dinner from the Weight Watchers Turn Around Program book. It’s called Tex-Mex Mushroom Ragout and this is how it’s made: Makes 2 Servings: 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 lb fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, quartered 1/2 lb fresh portobello mushrooms, stems removed and [...]
Noodles with Spicy Turkey and Avocado Sauce
September 22, 2009
Inspired by a Weight Watchers recipe from the Turn Around Program Book, I decided to make this simple meal for myself. The recipe in the book serves 6 but, because Jay is out of town this week, I wanted to make two servings. However, I am terrible at measuring the right amount of pasta noodles [...]
Hunter Style Chicken aka Chicken Cacciatore
September 15, 2009
I’ve started a distance learning program on writing. There are five classes in total and the official start date for these classes was on Friday. Because I decided to scamper off to a noisy campsite – Oastler Lake, a CN train goes by every couple hours even throughout the night – over the weekend, I [...]
Green Chile and Corn Frittata
September 2, 2009
On Sunday, I “borrowed” (see also: appropriate for an undisclosed length) a Weight Watchers cookbook from my mother. I love that it has tons of pictures and the recipes are very easy to follow. As I’ve mentioned before, diet food isn’t necessarily bland or tasteless. I give today’s lunch of Green Chile and Corn Fritatta [...]
