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 [...]
Turkey Tetrazzini
August 28, 2009
Comfort food at its best. This little dish comes from a diet comfort food magazine I bought a long time ago. Apparently, one serving of this turkey tetrazzini is only worth 400 calories.

I cannot tell if the recipes were not wonderful due to my inability to follow directions correctly from time [...]

Stormy Green Pasta
June 25, 2009
It’s been a bit of a crazy day today in terms of weather. It was almost unbearably hot and sunny this morning and by 10AM I was nearly soaked in sweat and praying for 11 o’clock to roll around so I could go for a dip in the pool. At 10:45 I decided to change [...]
Cheap & Easy Vegetarian For Daddy Day
June 22, 2009
For Father’s Day my family came over to hang out and eat a quick, simple dinner. Both my parents were exhausted so they couldn’t stay very long. Normally we spend a few hours playing board games but this time we ate dinner and sat on the balcony drinking beers for a bit before my parents [...]
