  17. Weight Watcher recipes: Edamame Hummus Makes 10 servings POINTS® value | 2 per serving Ingredients 4 medium scallions, thinly sliced 1 garlic clove, quartered 3 cups shelled cooked edamame 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce 1/4 cup rice vinegar 2 Tbsp mirin or sweetened Japanese cooking wine 1 Tbsp tahini 1 tsp wasabi powder 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil Instructions Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse a few times, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process until smooth. To store, scrape into a medium bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 days; return to room temperature before serving. Serving size: 1/4 cup. About the Creamy Corn Chipotle Dip For a really fresh taste in this smoky spicy dip, cut the kernels off husked ears of corn. To do so, cut one end off the ear, stand it up on your cutting board, grasp the pointy end, and run a sharp knife along the cob, slicing off the kernels. Or just thaw out a 1-pound frozen bag of corn. Creamy Corn Chipotle Dip Makes 12 servings POINTS® value | 1 per serving Ingredients 4 oz fat-free cream cheese 2 canned chipotles in adobo sauce, seeded 3 cups corn kernels 2 Tbsp lime juice 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp salt Instructions Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse a few times, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process until smooth. To store, spoon into a medium bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days; return to room temperature before serving. Serving size: 3 tablespoons. About the Artichoke Pesto Perfect for celery ribs or rice crackers, this summer favourite is made even more flavourful with a few canned artichoke hearts. Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally, to release their aromatic oils. Artichoke Pesto Makes 8 servings POINTS® value | 1 per serving Ingredients 5 whole artichoke hearts canned in water, drained and rinsed 1 garlic clove, quartered 1 1/4 cups packed basil leaves 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts 3 Tbsp finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 3 Tbsp water 1/2 tsp salt Instructions Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse a few times, then process until well-chopped but coarsely-grained. To refrigerate up to 2 days, spoon into a small bowl and press plastic wrap right against the dip's surface to minimise the dip turning brown. Serving size: 3 tablespoons. About the Blackberry Salsa There's no reason to stand on ceremony when it comes to salsa. It's a fresh mix of chiles, tomatoes and aromatics. So why not substitute some of summer's best blackberries for some of the tomatoes! Serve with toasted pita triangles—or spoon over scrambled eggs for a new Tex-Mex breakfast. Blackberry Salsa Makes 10 servings POINTS® value | 0 per serving Ingredients 2 cups fresh blackberries (8 ounces), chopped 1 cup small grape tomatoes (4 ounces), chopped 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped, seeded pickled jarred jalapeno chile 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper Instructions Stir all ingredients in a medium bowl; serve at once or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serving size: 1/4 cup. About the Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade Don't use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for this summery reinterpretation of the classic Italian olive spread. Instead, search out the dried one in the produce section of your market—or perhaps near the dried fruit. Use the spread over roasted vegetables, as a baked-potato topper, or on fat-free crackers. Easy Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade Makes 12 servings POINTS® value | 1 per serving Ingredients 1/4 pound (4 oz.) sun-dried tomatoes, without oil 2 anchovy fillets 1 garlic clove, quartered 3/4 cup pitted green olives (approx. 10-15, depending on size) 2 Tbsp drained and rinsed capers 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp packed oregano leaves or 2 tsp dried oregano 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/2 tsp ground black pepper Instructions Place the tomatoes in a large bowl; cover with boiling water. Set aside 10 minutes. Drain but reserve 3/4 cup soaking liquid. Place the softened sun-dried tomatoes, 3/4 cup soaking liquid, and the remaining ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse a few times, then process until coarsely ground with no chunks in the mix. To store, smooth into a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 4 days; return to room temperature before serving. Serving size: 3 tablespoons.
  18. Just finished scrubing DH shower .... ugh!! its an awful job.... How does everyone else get BLACK stains on the grout out??? Daily we use the Lysol shower to shower spray.... which is supposed to clean everything before there is a big build up of scum...... but.... my shower stall looks gross. So I took a mr. Clean WHITE Eraser thingy to it... think it helped a bit, but made a white bleach spot in the top I was wearing.... Crap!... Is there a better product I could be using???
  19. Hotter than hades here today.... humid... yuck... Now it is raining cats and dogs. But I am cool down here in the basement, with only a cami on... hee,hee... Worked at the super store today. Teaching 11 girls how to make 3 kinds of FUDGE, then they made Submarine buns (raised the dough and everything) then made Meatballs to put into them.... Oh my gosh!!! The freeking c andy would NOT boil today. so one of the fudges did not work out... and we had to throw it away.... What have I eaten today??? Breakfast: Iced Coffee, skim milk/ sweetner Lunch: 2 licks of a fudge laddle (and that`s all!!!) Snack: Aitikins, protien shake.... still very tight from thew Wedding drinking ....yikes.... supper last night was difficult and gave most of it to thew dogz:thumbup:
  20. Looking forward to that picture gal!!!! will you be on skype tonight?
  21. Oh that is funny.... we both typing at the same time... I tried to finnd you on Skype but I gues you are not online with that right now.... Your trip plans sound awesome... I understand if you can`t make it up to WB (its so way out of your way) but if you do have time perhaps we could meet somewhere in the middle?? for Lunch or Dinner?? Perhaps Toronto?? let me know what yu think... plus leave it until you get to Buff... and see how your timeing goes... try the Seattle Chiro clinic that has the LASER, it might really help and give you some pain relief... it was the ONLY thing that helped heal my back when I had the hern. disc in 2005... so worth it! Little Zoey, she is getting to be the real Princess isn`t she!! Say, how many pairs of shoes are you allowed??? Gotta go try and eat something, my gut is grumbling now:sneaky: oh about that dress.... yes WEAR It, there were MORE ladies wearing BLACK yesterday than ANY other colour!!!
