Corn On the Cob




Corn on the Cob is usually 1 pt. Yumbo!! After grilling or micrwaving, try some great dry rubs that will not include butter! Thyme, dill or any spice. Be creative. Also, if you have not discovered Butter Buds, DISCOVER it! 1 tsp is 10 calories, 0 fat, 0 fiber. Great on potatoes too!

Potato Salad

This is the recipe from Kimbensen.com that i told ya'll about:

1¾ lbs new red potatoes
¾ cup white parts of scallions, sliced
½ cup fresh dill, cut up
½ cup Smart Beat®* Mayonnaise (or equivalent) (I use Kraft Free Mayo)
½ cup fat-free plain yogurt
1 tsp salt
Leaving skins on, wash and cut potatoes into bite-size pieces. Boil potatoes until soft, NOT mushy. Drain and cool. In a medium sized bowl blend remaining ingredients and toss gently with cooled potatoes. Chill until ready to serve.

*Smart Beat® Mayonnaise
1 cup serving==3 points plus. 8 servings

Drink mixes

Supersize IT!!!

NO, NO, NO!!!

But, I still have to weigh, measure and think about my portions. I can eat until I drop, but I ususally don't because I do check my portion size. This is something I am trying to teach my daughter and this is not only a TOUCHY lesson, but difficult. She thinks I am fussing (because that is what I seem to do best lately). This is also a subject difficult for adults, take my mother-in-law for example. Her philosphy is more, more, more. Or bigger, bigger, supeersize it please.

Just remember we are all blessed that our next meat will not be our last meal.
