Re: Pumkin Spice Cake in Holiday files

[Guest guest]

Sorry to hear that the WW recipes were such a bomb! But I'm glad to have the

warning...

Looking back over my time on WW, I have always been most successful when I

have something low point on hand to snack on if the urge strikes. I do love

taco soup for that reason. (In fact, my friends used to joke that I was

trying to turn WWs into The Taco Soup Diet.) I also like the veggie soup

made with light Velveeta for a snackin' soup also. This is 1 pt, I believe.

Great if you like broccoli and cauliflower, which I do. I did just post

both these recipes to the Files section. I noticed there is another Taco

Soup recipe, but it is a little different than the one I use.

I sometimes will make jello for snacking. In addition to plain SF jello, my

2 favorite combos are red jello w/ applesauce stirred in & orange jello with

grated carrots and crushed pineapple.

I like to keep low point soup/stew onhand. I grab a cup or two

during the day. It keeps me from getting too hungry and adds lots of

veggies and fiber to my diet. I think I'll try that taco soup

recipie that someone posted a while ago.

I like most ww recipes but I have been told by several people that you

should double the amount of spices in their recipes. They tend to be on the

bland side. It seems to be the case most of the time so I just set aside the

spices and add extra in it doesn't taste so good while it's cooking.

I was/am in a food rut. I bought the new WW magazine looking for

some inspiration. I do not recomend the blueberry-corn muffins -

they were tasteless, dry weights. Nor do I suggest the beef veggie

stew. What a waste of $10 in meat!!. I put it in the crockpot to

cook all day long while I was running errands. I was so hungry when

I got home - I threw it out. I couldn't eat it - and I was so hungry

I could have eaten the carpet!!

If others try recipies from the WW cookbooks or mags I would love to

hear how they turned out - good or bad. Good so I can try them, bad

so I don't waste my time or money on them.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

The Pumpkin Spice Cake doesn't need any extra spice at all. Make sure you use a

Spice cake mix and you will be all set.
