we had Rueben's again tonight for late dinner... even using regular rye
bread six points, would have been 4.5 but there wasn't any light rye when
we
were at the store, it is just oh so harsh to eat rumens and steamed
broccoli, Lee

It's more work, but sooooo worth it!!!

We have this running gag between DH and me "Man, being on this program is
SO
HARSH!" which we say when we're have a particularly yummy "on plan"
meal...

I have to say, that's about 6 night out a week.. )

I think one of the reasons I have done as well as I have is because DH
is
such an excellent cook, he cooks simply but it always tastes good, and
when
I come up with something new to try or if I revamp an old favorite for
lighter points he always gives the best effort. Our latest revamp was
Ruben
sandwiches... mmmmm, Lee

I have learned with WW to eat with all my senses. I want it to taste
good
of
course, but also to look good, to smell good.

I try very hard to make every meal an adventure. We feel most of the
time
like we're eating out at home. I have "different dishes" like my
rectangular
plates that are much like sushi presentation plates, and my little
bowls
with a lid that I use for stews.

I also go out of my way to cook exotic foods, or foods we're not used
to.
It's a lot of research, and a lot of prep work.. but I think the end
result
is worth it. Eating at home is never boring in here!!

That's good too.. but there's something to be said to serving a
fuffy
looking fish dish in bamboo steamers... just feels like we're
eating
in
a
fuffy asian restaurant without paying for it..

the one kind of cooking I don't mind is steaming. I have
electric,
also
minimum mess with the added benefit that if you fall asleep they
shut
off,
keep the food warm for a while and don't burn.

When we make fish we slice an onion very thin, then layer, onion,
minced
garlic, then fish, then season then garlic then a top layer of
onion,
sometimes mushrooms, can't say enough good about it, Lee

Bought bamboo steamers a few months ago, and never got brave
enough
to
try
them...

Today, didn't know what to do with cod filet.. was putting the
wok
away
and
came accross my steamers... Hum... what if I got brave?

Lightly salted the filet on each side, and sprayed (lightly)
each
side
with
garlic olive oil (dipping oil bought... somewhere) I put the
filet
each
in
a
pasta bowl (that fits in my steamers).

I thinly sliced red onion, red bell pepper, zucchini and
asparagus.
I
placed
the veggies kind of around the fish (doesn't matter if it goes
over
a
little).

I sprayed the whole thing with a little more garlic oil, and
salted
and
peppers over that. Then I poured a TBSP of teriaki sauce (the
clear
kind,
not the thick stuff) over the fish and sprinkled with thinly
sliced
green
onion.

I put each bowl in a steamer, stacked the two steamers and put
the
lid
on
top. Put about 2 inches of water in the wok and put the steamers
in.
Steamed
on high head for about 17 minutes.

It was to die for! I'm soooooooo happy! very healthy, minimum
mess,
tasty!
I'm gonna use those steamers often (even more since they are
fairly
cheap
in
the city)

HA!

here is what we used.:

-soft rye bread from beefsteak 2 slices 2.5 points; This would have been 1
point if we had been able to get the light beefsteak rye, I usually get the
one with the seeds, same points and more flavor.
- 2 slices of Kraft free Swiss slices 2 slices for 1 point
- 2 ounces of corned beef, look in the deli section for one that is 1 point
per ounce. 2 points.
- 2 tsp Kraft free thousand island dressing. .5 points... if you like more
you can have 2 TBSP for 1 point but that is too much for me.
- butter spray 0 points.

spray a griddle with butter flavored Pam or similar. spray bread with
butter spray and place on griddle. put dressing on 1 tsp on each slice then
the cheese and cook open face like a grilled cheese, while it is beginning
to cook put corned beef on one slice and 1/4 C sour rout on the other, cook
slowly to grill bread and melt cheese. when this is done put sandwich
together and serve.

DH used regular butter for his and I might have used it if I had had light
bread but the spray on the griddle and the other spray on the bread worked
out just fine.

we served it with light ruffles and I had a Pepsi one with mine. total of 7
points made this way. if you used light rye it would have been 4.5

Lee, hoping this all made sense

Thank you for the recipe. It sounds really good. I have always loved
corned beef, so this is a recipe I must try. I just need to find the
light rye bread.

the brand I have used in the past is beefsteak rye, light with caraway
seeds, they have several versions, make sure you check points, Lee, glad to

I think WW also makes a rye bread but I like the beefsteak light rye best.
