I really enjoyed making and eating this, not really something I would normally make but it is good to mix things up so your diet doesn't become boring and stale.
As a Weight Watchers member I'm pretty excited by all the new things going on at the moment. They have a new advert on TV at the moment featuring Alesha Dixon to highlight real members' weight loss sucess. If you haven't seen the video yet you can view on http://www.youtube.com/playweightwatchers If you have seen it what do you think?
I will also be trying out their supper club app over on facebook. The idea is great, you creat an event, invite your friends and cook some Weight Watcher recipes together. You can share your photos of your culinary creations with the app and be in with a chance to win a prize. I'm liking the idea of making food fun, it would also be a good way to let freinds and family know that your diet doesn't have to be boring.
We would love to see your photos of any recipes you make that have been featured on this blog, you can send a photo to us (or ask us anything) over on twitter - @wherearemyknees
I wonder how many of the WW's meal freeze well. I know several people who get together, each bringing enough of a freezable recipe to share with everyone, and they switch off. That way you get a ton of meals without doing all the work--much easier to multiply a meal than cook separate ones. They aren't a dieting group, but I think it would translate well if these types of recipes can be frozen because I know it's so much easier to eat junk than take the time to cook.
