Yesterday I mentioned that because of the upcoming holiday crazies I made sure dinner this week were on the EASY side. I wanted to show you last nights EASY EATS!
Mushroom Risotto-
& a BIG side salad
Oh and my secret....the risotto was from a package! :) I doctor it up a little by sauteing fresh sliced mushrooms first in the pan then adding in the frozen bag. It bulks it up nicely! Ever try this great dish from Trader Joe's? We love it as a side dish or in this case a meal! :) It makes 3 servings but if you do the WW math 1/2 the package is 6 PointsPlus. I took about a third of the package and gave a larger bowl to Sean so I counted 4 PointsPlus for my bowl.
I just came home from my Weight Watcher meeting today and I was down a pound. I had a great week but didn't seem to get rid of the extra puffiness that came along with TOM last week. lol Oh well...any loss this time of the year is a success! Heck I would have been happy with a stay the same week! :)
Gotta eat lunch and then figure out my travel plan for tomorrow's adventure down to Palo Alto for those
sessions. I'm trying not to stress about it and make it a fun day....wish me luck. lol :)
BYE!
It all looks SO YUM! and you are down a pound!! Go you!! WOOT!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for consistently inspiring me to provide heathy eats!!

ReplyDeleteThat risotto looks amazing. I might have to hit up Trader Joe's soon. Yum! Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I just wandered over to your blog from another one, and I'm so glad. I'm a WWers lifetime member - only for a few months now, and I've lost over 115 pounds... but lately I've been so uninspired and bored with the food I've been eating, and the switch to PointsPlus has been hard on me to say the least. Getting some great food ideas for you... so excited to look at more in the coming days/weeks. Thanks!
