If you own the Weight Watchers cookbook DO NOT make the stuff peppers! I gave them a rating of 4…Jim liked them but I think his taste buds were broken that day. I’m not even going to give you the recipe…but took the time to make and take pictures so I will show you what the nasty things looked like. Tonight I’m trying another recipe, wish me luck!
RATING FROM EVERYONE BUT MOM: 8
MOM: 10
4 mushrooms equals 2 points
Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
1 10OZ bag fresh baby spinach leaves
1 large egg
¼ onion
garlic
2tlb bread crumbs (fresh would be better)
salt & pepper
¼ cup Monterey jack cheese (I used more to sprinkle on top)
Mushrooms
1. Preheat the oven to 400-spray sheet with nonstick spray.
HHeat a large skillet over high heat. Add a little olive oil, sauté garlic and onions and then had the spinach and cook down until it looks like THIS.
3.
Transfer to bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Place mushroom caps on sheet and fill with mixture. Top with a tiny bit of cheese and bake for 12 mins, or until mushrooms are done and cheese is golden brown!
TADAA!
Classic Steamed Lobster with Special Dipping Sauce
¼ cup of butter
1-tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped parsley, and tarragon.
1 ½ finely chopped watercress (I didn’t have any)
salt & pepper
4 lobster tails (I used 2 because leftover lobster isn’t my favorite)
4 lemon wedges
(Recipe doesn’t call for GARLIC, but of course I added some)
1) To prepare the sauce, in a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter, lemon juices, parsley, tarragon, watercress, and salt & pepper. (I added garlic!)
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lobsters until bright red, NOW weight watchers said 10-12 minutes, if I would have listened to them it would have ruined the tails, I cooked them for 5 minutes. Never over cook your lobster, it ruins the meat. When the lobster tails look like this (red and curled) their done!
With tongs transfer to a platter…Serve with lemon wedges and sauce.
Rating: 9 from the both of us
I forgot to take some pictures of the finished product. It was delish!
Tip #1 I use cooking scissors to slit the back of the lobster open, so the butter can run all over the meat.
Tip #2 If you don’t want your lobster tails to curl, stick a skewer in the belly of them, running it from the top all the way down to the bottom of the tail. I will try to take pictures to explain better later.
Last nights dinner was Orange Chicken w/ Broccoli!!
MY RATING: 6
My Husbands Rating: 7
It reminded me of a basic stir-fry, the orange flavor was barley there. If I were to make this again I would add more orange juice and less water, and maybe some orange and lemon zest. I served it with a ½ cup of white rice, which is worth 2 points.
Below is my first video EVER!
