I lost 5 lbs! And made an awesome chicken recipe!

Resetting my Weight Watchers account and starting fresh was the best thing I could have done. It has allowed me to see the little victory's as big victory's just like when I first joined the program. To read more about it, head over to my Weight Watcher's Blog. 

So...on to the food. My amazing Aunt and Uncle gave me the Skinny Taste Cookbook for Christmas this year and I couldn't be happier. It has so many amazing recipes that are easy to make and don't require a lot of unique ingredients (which makes for a happy new cook). Last week, I tried my first recipe from the book, Chicken Rollatini stuffed with Zucchini and Mozzarella. Can I just say AMAZING? It was soooo delicious, I was "licking the plate!" (actually I should say pan, since I was trying to get every last bit of gooey cheese I could). 

The prep time on this recipe was a little more than expected, so I was glad that I didn't get fancy with sides when I made it. Basically its a lot of shredding of cheese and zucchini, and some pre cooking. 
 

It smelled awesome while cooking. It took about 25 minutes which, while not a quick weeknight dinner, allowed some time for a glass of wine and for me to set the table. Once done it came out bubbling and ready to devour. :)


I served it with green beans with spray butter and reduced fat crescent rolls. A perfect ~ 10 pp dinner.

Here is the recipe on the Skinny Taste Blog if you are interested.

  2. Congrats on the weight loss! I got the SkinnyTaste cookbook recently too. It's a winner. So far I've tried the chicken pot pie soup and egg muffin cups. Both were really good. What are you planning to try next? I'm a WW lifetime member who loves to cook WW friendly recipes. So glad I found you.
