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.. ) Will~ "Stormmee" wrote in message ... 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 Willow Herself wrote in message t... 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!! Will~ "Stormmee" wrote in message ... true, Lee Willow Herself wrote in message ... 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.. Will~ "Stormmee" wrote in message ... 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 Willow Herself wrote in message t... 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! Will~ |

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 Karen Officer wrote in message ...

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.

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