Favorite Pampered Chef Recipes When Trying to Diet?

[its_me_susan]

Would you please share your favorite PC recipes that will not ruin a consultant's (who ate one too many cookies she obsessed over recently - and actually has a new medicine that is really making it difficult not to eat, eat. eat) diet efforts? I find most of the recipes in our healthy eating cookbook really shouldn't be in there (I'm constantly thinking "what were they thinking?"...

Thanks!

Diet???
You're askin' the wrong person...diet is a dirty word around here...

But good luck - and if you want to get those cookies out of your house so they don't tempt you - send 'em to me!!!

I try to make a lot of modifications to our recipes, like using light butter sticks, light mayo and things like that. Not perfect, but it's a start.

I also make sure to eat before a show, that way it's easy to be polite and not eat the food. I often tell hosts "I make this all the time, YOU enjoy it!"

I am in the same boat. I've gained a good 10 lbs in the last 6 mos and have been fighting the same 20 lbs overall on and off the last 5 yrs. It is a big goal for me in the new year not to let my business, day job or anything else get in the way of my health anymore.
