| Butternut Squash, Chick Pea and Spinach Madras |
[18 Mar 2010|11:51am] |
Soften one diced onion and two crushed cloves of garlic using a little oil. Stir through a heaped desert spoon of madras curry paste and then add one butternut squash (large dice) and a can of chick peas (drained). Stir well to coat all the ingredients with the paste. Add a can of chopped tomatoes and a can and a half of water. Simmer covered for twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. Check to see whether the squash is cooked. Add a bag of spinach and stir through, allowing it to wilt. Season to taste.
Serves 4
I haven't worked out the points very accurately as yet but I think it'll work out between 8 and 10 points. This could be reduced by using light spray oil and dry curry powder instead of the paste.

| cottage cheese? |
[07 May 2008|05:49pm] |
Can anyone tell me of any WW friendly recipes that I can use up cottage cheese with?
I somehow have obtained a tub of it.. and quite honestly, can't stand the stuff on it's own. Anyone have any ideas?

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlc cloves minced
¼ cup parmesan/romano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1. Cook pasta according to the package
2. Sprinkle the chicken with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Spray a pan with like Pam and set over med-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until cooked all the way through (5-6 min). Transfer to a cutting board and let cook before cutting into bite sized pieces
3. Combine the half and half, milk, flour, nutmeg and the remaining salt and peppers into a small bowl and whisk until blended.

I'm looking for a good dessert recipe that I can make tonight.
My fiance's family is coming over and they are very picky eaters, well as far as dessert goes. But I want to try to stay on track with my points and still be able to indulge in dessert.
If you guys have any good recipes that could fool a "non-weightwatcher", I would be very appreciative.
Also, I know I've heard of a chocolate cake recipe using pumpkin.. anyone have that recipe?
Thanks!!

Here's the Shrimp Creole recipe I made with my sister this past weekend while visiting Mobile Alabama.
Shrimp Creole
6 servings
8 points a serving
2 ---14 1/2 oz Cans Stewed tomatoes un-drained---CHOPPED
1/4 cup Green Bell Pepper--CHOPPED
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper--CHOPPED
1 small yellow onion chopped--CHOPPED SMALL
2 medium ribs of celery chopped---CHOPPED SMALL
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove Minced
2 TSP Tiger Sauce
1 TSP Emerils Bayou Blast
1 1/2 pounds of Shrimp Medium size raw---PEELED BOILED SHRIMP BOIL
4 cups of Minute rice
saute onions,bell peppers, celery, garlic, in olive oil in pan until soft.
after these are cooked add stewed tomatoes and bring to a low boil.
You can boil shrimp with liquid shrimp/crab boil and add to the above mixture.
be careful to not over cook. I would leave them almost raw drain them and then add to the above mixture to let them cook the rest of the way....that way they are not tough and chewy.
Cook the Minute Rice and add to mixture as a filler in each serving bowl.
This recipe only takes a few minutes to make....its excellent and you can add more Tiger sauce and Bayou Blast if you like spicy. I had never tried Tiger sauce but I love it now and intend to cook with it more in the future.

Right now I'm eating this:
Romaine lettuce covered with 1/2c kidney beans, 1/4c lite colby jack cheese, red onions, cilantro, tomato salsa, tomatillo salsa, 2.75 oz. of grilled/shredded chicken.
WW points: lettuce (0); beans (1); lite cheese (1); onions, cilantro, salsa (0); chicken (3) = 5!!
It's pretty amazing, too.

Not sure about anyone else in here, but before WW, I was addicted to the Panera Bread Pumpkin muffins & muffies. I thought I would die without them this fall. That was until I found this recipe and tried it. This is absolutely delicious and tastes JUST LIKE the Panera Bread version. I highly recommend this to all. (and if you decide to try it - let me know what you think please?) ( recipes & picture of the finished product under the cutCollapse ) |

| WW Online? Recipe Builder Question |
[07 Sep 2006|07:55pm] |
Is anyone doing WW online? I have a question about the recipe builder. I entered a recipe through the builder and it's telling me it's 8 points per serving and when I break down and then add the ingredients myself, it's coming up 3.5 per serving! That's a huge difference. Does anyone know what the deal is?
Oh, and it's Squash & Corn Soup in case you were wondering.

So I ended up using the FF yogurt. I think it will be fine, after I added everything else. One problem though, that I'm hoping will solve itself overnight as it all sits together in the bowl. The recipe called for lemon zest, and well, I think I shouldn't have used as much as it called for. This was my fist time working with it and it left a strong taste. But, like I said, hopefully it won't be as strong tomorrow after it all settles together. Wish me luck, and thank you for your helpful hints. :)
