I often run into motivational moments at the most odd time. I'll clean at 2 in the morning and I'll cook after months of not making a trip to the grocery store. The cleaning kick has yet to come back but the cooking-bug has come! Blame it on late night Food Network shows or just being bored with what I eat. It's time to a food change that's light, filling and tastey.

I came across a press release at work that had recipes on it. The source happened to be Weight Watchers, which I never thought to go to for recipes. I thought it would be stingy or not enough taste. But you have to try this one!

I've heard Weight Watchers prepared food is pretty good and that their recipes are easy to manage. Kris, commented on one of my last posts, with a recommendation to this website: http://www.healthybalance.com/ It has a lot of good recipes ranging from main dishes to drinks. You're also able to share some of your own recipes on this website, too.
