I picked up a WeightWatchers magazine at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago. As I was sifting through these delightful pages of recipes, I was amazed to see such appetizing meals. I have never been on WeightWatchers, but know many who have. I’ve always wondered how they could lose weight and eat delicious meals at the same time. Seemed like an oxymoron to me.
Out of all the tempting meals in this magazine, I chose this Vegetable Pot Pie to make. I loved this recipe because, as many of you know, I tend to eat more vegetarian than not. After reading the directions and ingredients, I was not too optimistic at the outcome. Frozen vegetables, fat free milk, low sodium-reduced fat soup didn’t sound appetizing at all.
How wrong was I!!!!! This meal was absolutely one of the best meals I’ve made. Incredible!!!! Not only was satisfying, it was so tasty—even without meat. I can’t even imagine how rich it would taste if I didn’t add the fat free ingredients. And this is guilt free!!! Imagine that????
The only ingredients I added was, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. But that is personal. I think the dry sherry added a very sophisticated flavor. Michael loved this meal and can’t wait for leftovers tomorrow. He said he would order this from a restaurant if offered. Now that’s the ultimate compliment.
This meal has a point value of 8 on the WeightWatchers scale. It serves 5. So if you need to make a meal for a family or need to have leftovers, choose this—you won’t be sorry.
This is in the WeightWatchers magazine on the stands until 12/3/10. It’s on page 27.
