If you haven’t checked out the Hungry Girl website yet, you’re missing out on some great low calorie recipes (love the blueberry scone recipe), food swaps (lower calorie, fat and sodium choices to replace high calorie favorites) and tons of product reviews. Plus there’s a free daily e-mail you can sign up for. I get the daily e-mails and really enjoy them. In addition to product reviews and recipes, there’s fun and silly news. That’s how I found out January 12 is National Curried Chicken Day (who decides this stuff?).

It’s January, I’m psyched to eat healthy, and that includes eating more fresh fruit. Broiled grapefruit is easy and quick to make; and by my calculations a half of broiled grapefruit is just 1 Weight Watcher point.

Angel food cake with a dollop of fat free Cool Whip is the “diet friendly” standby at my house but as delicious as it is, sometimes I’d like something a little different. The angel food cake recipe below is still diet friendly and is a great dessert to take to a party. Nobody will ever guess that it’s low in calories. They’ll just think it’s delicious! Plus it’s easy to make!

One of my favorite things about Weight Watchers meetings happens before the meetings start. That’s when we exchange recipes and meal ideas. The pumpkin butter recipe below is great on whole grain toast and waffles, but my favorite way to serve it in a pretty bowl with pretzels for dipping.

Today’s diet plan boys and girls is this, “ Eat egg whites for breakfast along with 8 ounces of fat free milk and one slice of whole grain toast, salad greens with vinegar and a splash of olive oil for lunch along with an apple, and a plain chicken breast with steamed vegetables for dinner. If you’re really hungry in the evening and just have to have something, then you can splurge and eat a half cup of nonfat cottage cheese. And drink a bunch of water throughout the day” Does that sound delicious or so boring that you’d almost rather eat nothing?

Pumpkin muffins are one of my favorite treats but the ones from the bakery with cream cheese frosting (more like a giant cupcake than a muffin) can contain over 500 calories! Instead, make your own. These contain a lot less calories and fat, plus they’re easy to make and freeze very well.

My sister-in-law makes a super delish taffy apple salad recipe. Too bad it has about a million calories per serving in it. This recipe is much more figure friendly and tastes just as good-seriously.
