Last night, after a two hour nap from heaven, I tamed my hunger with a hungry girl recipe: Hungry girlfredo. For those of you that don't know, this involves Shirtaki tofu noodles, laughing cow cheese (also sent from heaven) and low fat sour cream and parmesan.
This was my first adventure with the noodles, and while I have not written them off my list I do believe it will be awhile before I purchase them again. It comes down to two things: texture and smell.
The minute you open the bag this intense, unnatural, rotting-like smell seeps out and bit** slaps you in the face like "whoa". I see now why they say you must rinse them VERY well.
and then the texture. They are chewy and hard to swallow. Not much like noodles at all.
I might give them another chance-- maybe in a casserole or during the inevitable time when I do not have so many points for a day and must make do on one to two points meals. But as an entree, I would much rather use the recipe for the alfredo part and slap it on some whole wheat noodles for a whopping five point dinner.
In other news, a wonderful faculty member at my place of work brought me some AWESOME 2 point pumpkin pie. She gave me the recipe a few days back and I'll admit-- I was a little apprehensive.The pie has no crust-- which is something I have always considered sacrilegious, that is, until I tried it. It actually fills you up. It is dense and delicious and I am going to make it, love it and live it. I actually ate it for breakfast, which is how I foresee it fitting into my life. I love tricking myself into feeling "naughty" while doing ww and this is just the ticket. "Look", I will say as I cram my face, "I am eating pie for breakfast!!"
ok, enough for now. I'll post that pie recipe later for anyone that wants to try it. I plan on making it for the party this weekend as well-- so that when I am two drinks in and have no control, I have a low point place to land!
Until then my friends-- live it. Love it. Lose it.
