Claire’s Test Kitchen – Comfort Food Mac & Cheese

September 1, 2009

This recipe comes from the newest Weight Watcher’s cookbook, Comfort Classics, on page 108. The original recipe makes 4 servings at 6 points per serving. I made some substitutions and halved the recipe, but the points per serving was probably still 5-6 points. It said prep time was 10  minutes and cook/broil time 15 minutes, [...]

Claire’s Test Kitchen – Roasted Red Pepper Dip

August 31, 2009

This recipe came to me with my Weight Watcher’s membership card this month – just in time for a potluck that I was going to. At the potluck there are always chips (Fritos, Kettle Chips) and full-fat sour cream-based dips. I usually arrive to these functions early to help out, and consequently it’s easy for [...]

Claire’s Test Kitchen – Thin Tuna Melt

August 27, 2009

I’m going to try to do more of these kinds of posts where I take a recipe and either alter it to make it lower in Weight Watchers points, or low-fat, or I’ll try a Weight Watchers recipe and rate it. So, here goes #1.
I altered this recipe from one I found in Food and [...]

There’s more to losing weight than losing weight

August 26, 2009

“With our program you can lose 20 pounds in just 4 weeks!”
“Lose 10 inches in just 5 days!”
“I want to lose 20 pounds in time for my wedding next month.”
“I have 50 pounds to lose – I hope I can do it in 10 weeks.”

How often have you heard claims or expectations of rapid [...]

Crock Pot Southwest Chicken Chili

August 23, 2009

I posted the other day on Facebook that I was going to make this since the weather was feeling more like Fall than Summer. I’ve had a couple requests for the recipe, so here you go. I didn’t take pictures, but in the future, I will – or, you can make your version of the [...]

It’s been a long, hot month this week.

August 2, 2009

Wow. This summer has been incredible up here in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve had lovely, rainless summery days since around May. Only a few days of rain and gray skies have interrupted this glorious summer. If you know me, you know I’m a sun worshipper. I’ll cross the street to walk in the sun, even [...]
