I just added several new recipes.  I wanted to highlight them because they look to good to be true when you see how easy and how few Weight Watcher points they have.  As you know I used another program for my recent weight loss but I do like Weight Watchers.  They teach you about portion control and it is great if you only have a few pounds to loose.  (Only because it takes longer than some other program)

Anyway, the reason these recipes are look to good to be true is because I use very little oil in cooking.  I use cooking spray but very sparingly.  You really need to be careful with this as it is so easy to use to much.  Just a very light spray is all that is needed just enough to just barely coat the pan.  I also use broth or water many times with a little lemon or lime juice.  This allows to you cook food and not have it stick to the pan as well.  You do not need much liquid and it will cook off so your dish is not soupy.  Also, where possible I bake rather than fry.  I almost never fry.  I also like to use the grill when possible.  the grill allows the grease to run off.  It should go without saying, but when cooking meats always, always, always drain the pan and wipe it out before using for the remainder of the recipe. I never want to keep any additional grease in my pan, this just adds calories that we don't need.  

Happy cooking
