Made Feb 24th. The recipe was pretty easy to put together, and it got a thumbs up from everyone but Aaron.
I accidently added the whole 8 oz bag of noodles when it only required 6, and the same happened with the mixed vegetables. I ended up using the entire 16 oz bag instead of just 10 oz. As for effecting the recipe, it didn't really - only in the point value. But, it evens out because it creates more servings which in turn lowers the point value.
I have no idea how the published nutritional info only equals 4 points for 4 servings because there are a lot of high calorie items in the recipe: ham, sour cream, cottage cheese, even the noodles are pretty high point. Oh well. This recipe is a keeper.

ReplyDeleteLove ya, Val, and congratulations on the blog!
When you use low fat stuff sometimes it really cuts the points values of things, but I agree - the noodles alone should probably make it about 4 points per serving, I would think? Do you subscribe to WW online? I use the recipe builder in e-tools even when recipes have calorie/fat information included and sometimes I'm really surprised by the differences in calculations...
ReplyDeleteI do subscribe to WW online. LOVE it! I always re-enter the recipes too because what I have on hand for the recipe can make a big difference in the points.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome DeAna. I was playing around with the gadgets to try getting a subscribe via email one, but I didn't like the option they had. Is there one you recommend? Otherwise I'll manually enter your email in my settings.
