Only gained back 1 pound yesterday from all that eating - yeah! I did pretty well today, although I cooked a fancy dessert but I was really careful on my portion size. The remaining dessert will be a treat in the office tomorrow. It was delicious. I like to cook, and try out new recipes. I had some left over cranberries and so I found a recipe to make with them - an Almond-Cranberry tart. Very good. One slice is 342 calories/10 points So, it needs to leave my home.
I also cooked my fabulous Vegetable Soup today. This is a zero points WW soup, dressed up to actually taste good. Here's the recipe:
48 ounces Low Sodium College Hill Chicken Broth (I think it's better than Swanson)
1 chopped onion
1 minced clove of garlic
juice from 1/2 to 1 full fresh lemon
1 can of Rotel
1 can of Mexican Stewed tomatoes (if you can't find those, just use Stewed Tomatoes, but don't use Italian Stewed Tomatoes)
4-5 dashes of Tabasco sauce
2 tsp. Mrs. Dash
Can of corn
Can of sliced or diced water chestnuts
2 10 oz. bags of frozen vegetables
1 tsp salt
Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 1 hour. That's it!
I love Indian Food, but Indian Buffets are a guaranteed gain for me. So I cook my own. This is my favorite curry sauce. But it is sold at Williams-Sonoma, which isn't the most convenient place to get sauce. I don't mix it with anything - just use as is. It is incredible. 1/4 a jar is 180 calories/ 5pts but you will be so satisfied with that you'll be good. Then just throw in some cooked chicken and serve it over brown rice. I love Trader Joe's Frozen Brown Rice. It cooks in 3 minutes in the microwave and it is delicious.
