My husband came into the kitchen last night to find out what all the moaning was about:eek: The pictures are killing me.
 
Oh, try the Toasted Angel Hair and Sausage recipe....delicious!
 
the apple glazed chicken with apple slaw is so yummy!
 
I know what you mean, I lost 22 pounds and I have a feeling it will be back too soon.
 
I may use that "warning" as a selling point at my next show. :)
 
BLT Mac & Cheese - deadly
 
I just started Weight Watchers and am freaking about how many points these recipes are. They are soo good though.
