I love Sundays! Sundays mean lazy afternoons, yummy food, spending some peaceful time with my husband, reading or watching tv, and getting ready for the week ahead. My hubby likes to cook dinner on Sunday nights. He is a really good man who likes to do his part, and he enjoys cooking just as much as I do - especially when he can cook something that is really delicious. Today, we were out and about and we heard a few people talking in a restaurant about how they were helping a few friends lose weight. They had encouraged a no carb diet that their friends were diligently following. I have a few problems with the no carb diet, probably because I cannot imagine a life where I don't eat bread! First of all, carbs affect your mood - and I am not trying to play around with my mood. Secondly, I find a no carb lifestyle realistic for a while,but what happens after the person loses all the weight? They go back to eating carbs and expect to keep that weight off. Now, that doesn't happen all of the time, but I know that is what would happen to me. I find that if I tell myself I can't have something, that's when I want the ONE thing I said I couldn't have. I love Weight Watchers because it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. Everything in moderation.
Pizza Pasta (serves 2)
First, I count out and chop up 26 slices of turkey pepperoni. I toss it in a pan and saute it until it is heated throughout. To this pan I add 1/2 cup pizza sauce,1 small can tomato sauce, some italian seasonings, and 3 wedges of laughing cow cheese. I stir the contents of the pan until all the cheese melts over medium to medium - low heat. We serve this dish over Smart Taste penne pasta.
* 1/2 of the sauce is 4 points served over one cup of penne pasta that is 5 points = a delicious and filling 9 point dish. We serve this with a side salad full of zero point veggies and top with 1 point worth of our favorite dressing! Delicious, quick, and easy! Happy reading and delicious eating - and yes, with CARBS!
