After purchasing my Weight Watchers Family Style cookbook at
my meeting, I skimmed through the book and attached sticky notes all over the
place on recipes I wanted to make at home. I found this cookbook to be one of
the better ones (in my opinion) because there are far more recipes I’d be
willing to try not only for myself but for my family. I realize I’m the only Weight Watcher in the
house BUT that doesn’t mean my family can’t eat healthier. But when cooking for others, I do have to take
in others tastes but most importantly dislikes. For instance, my boyfriend
doesn’t like cheese – so if I do make a dish that involves cheese, I have to
remove his portion before the cheese is added. But I will say outside of that one dislike I
don’t really change up my style of cooking because at the end of the day, those
who enjoy my dishes have no idea they’re healthier recipes.
So, with that when I saw the Weight Watchers Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Pasta Salad recipe in the
cookbook, I decided that was going to be part of dinner on Friday. And part of
dinner it became! I had made Skinnytaste’s
version last summer and loved it, so I figured this one had to be equally
delicious – and it was! It was a hit, a
serving was huge and it made a batch for 4 individuals which meant it wasn’t
going to be lying around for a long time (which I wouldn’t want it to because
of the tomatoes and lettuce in the dish).
I strongly recommend giving this recipe a shot because it’s
totally worth it! 1 3/4cup is only 7 points plus!
Mmmm that looks so tasty!! I know what you mean when you say your family can still eat healthy. My husband is accidently losing weight because I have been feeding him healthy yet tasty food. It is a win for everyone!
