At my WW meeting this week, we talked a lot about favorite foods, how to make some special items, and some good, satisfying foods or additions for only 2 points. Lots of good ideas: how to make pumpkin/vanilla pudding snack--delish for only 1 pt. Egg whites instead of egg yolks. Making egg whites more interesting and tasty by making into a very low point artichoke, red pepper fritatta, with regianno parmesan.
It still surprises me that there are people who haven't heard of Reggianno Parmesan.
One of the women behind me, who was well dressed, well spoken, and appeared well educated, asked me after the meeting to repeat the name of the cheese and spell it for her. And here, I just assumed that everyone knows about reggianno. Well I guess not. And it's such a wonderful thing to know about. Adds so much flavor. But of course I had another blog about that.
We also talked about making heartier foods with fewer calories, like soup purees, maybe adding beans for some extra nutrition, stuff like that. Another great cheese, that I haven't mentioned here before is Laughing Cow Lite. A low fat, creamy cheese that you can spread on a sandwich or tortilla for very little added fat or calories.

You will probably think of me as a hick or saying this, but I was not aware of regianno parmesan until a certain woman entered my life.
