Not sure about you guys but I find it helpful to see what other WW members eat. I’ve been practicing with lighting as I prepare random quick meals. Thought it would be useful to post some pretty pics that also give a glimpse of some of my eats. They’re relatively quick (<20 min). The recipes for anything I’ve baked is on the Recipe page. Check ’em out! Check out EatingWell for incredible FALL recipes for all of those fresh fruits and veggies you buy at this season’s local farmer’s markets. Also, I’ll post some pics from the farmer’s markets and various Fests I’ve attended. Enjoy 🙂

These were incredible! I tweaked a few recipes to perfect a very low fat Pumpkin Spice/walnut cupcake with pumpkin spice reduced fat frosting, topped with toffee and dusted with cinnamon. These were a total hit with my sister’s housemates!

Wow all of this looks so good… I always forget you can do healthy meals without making them feel healthy! Tell me more about these cowfredo noodles… Are they real noodles? Or does the cowfredo apply only to the laughing cow cheese sauce? Either way, I’m def using the cow cheese sauce on rice noodles. Great post!!
Hey, Jenn. “cowfredo” consists of noodles of your choice, about one-two cups worth, combined with 1-2 wedges of laughing cow cheese. I was in the mood for alfredo but didn’t want to load the calories on so i figured hey, why not…break out the cow. I find that the laughing cow just doesn’t melt well. I have to combine two wedges in a separate bowl with a bit of milk (1/2 tbsp?), and a little bit of butter/substitute. I put this in the microwave for about one minute and stir every 30 sec until “creamy”. 🙂
