Adapted from Weight Watchers International. “Eggplant Parmigiana.” Downloaded from the web on January 27, 2011. My Comment: I’ve made this recipe from Weight Watchers (subscription) several times. Not only is it delish the night it’s cooked, but it makes great leftovers. Honestly, I’d eat it cold! I dislike powdered garlic, so I used a clove,…

Adapted from Weight Watchers. “Senegalese Peanut Stew with Spinach and Sweet Potatoes“. Downloaded from the web on March 5, 2010.

Adapted from Solan, M (recipes by M. M. Chappell). “Feel Good Foods”. Vegetarian Times. Issue 382, Vol. 37, No. 2. p. 88.

Adapted from Ashton, A. “A cook’s guide to mushrooms“. Vegetarian Times. February, 2010: Issue 374, Vol. 36 #3. p. 60. My comment: Stir fries are a great, quick meal. While this one uses a chile sauce (Sriracha), my family likes things very hot — so using a technique borrowed from Szechwan cooking (stir frying whole…

Adapted from Whole Foods Market. “Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup“. Downloaded from the web on 10 January 2011. My comments: I love the combination of cauliflower and curry! Here is an economical soup – economical in cost and in Weight Watcher points (4 per serving!). We like a good crusty bread to go along with the…
