I don't have a new recipe to review. Sadly, I've recently re-joined the ranks of Weight Watchers, (Maple syrup has a boatload of Points y'all!) and while I don't subscribe to the whole, "screw nutrition! Stay within your points!" mantra many members swear by- there are a few products that I absolutely refuse to eat.
1. Spray "butter." This skeeves me out, although it may be handy to get the squeaks out of our tricycle.
2. McDonalds Ice cream cones. They ENCOURAGE you to go get these for a treat. "But they are only 3 points!" I heard over and over and over again. I haven't eaten McDonalds ice cream since I was 5 and had to drop coffee stirrers into a cup at the world's lamest birthday party. Not gonna happen.
3. Fat free Cool Whip. I'm not a fan of Cool Whip. I do, begrudgingly, put this in a modified strawberry trifle, but not happily. What is Cool Whip anyway? Was it created by NASA? Is it a space-version of whipped cream that defies gravity and serves as an embalmer if one passes away in space? Can someone in Houston check into this for me and report back?
4. Sloppy Joes. I've got a Weight Watchers recipe for Sloppy Joes using ground turkey and frozen peas and carrots. Blech. If I tried to make it a man-wich night, my man would cry. LIKE A BABY. Plus, I'd retain enough water to make the senior citizen manning the scales bitch slap me back into my fat pants.
I can't think of another one because I'm so disgusted at the thought of eating a meal comprised of spray butter, Mickey D's frozen dairy topping, Space age whipped cream and seasoned dog food. Hey! Maybe now I'll lose some weight.

I'm with you all the way. I have a relative who is a big fan of spray butter... yech. Cool Whip... double yech.
ReplyDeleteAt my one trip to a WW meeting, they suggested strawberries (1 cup = 1 point, I think) and Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, which I actually still eat. They're pretty-not-bad, as we like to say around here... no Ben and Jerry's, but a step up from the McDonald's "ice cream."
