I don't like to cook at all but I thought this would be a great place for us to share recipes. I have started Weight Watchers now so I am going to go thru the paperwork and see what I can find that is healthy and yummy!

    Cake with diet soda - THIS IS YUMMY....
    I used diet 7up, orange cake mix put pineapple and light cool whip. this was our thanksgiving dessert
    For years I have made similar recipe using a bag of FROZEN PEACHES on the bottom of 9X13 pan, add box WHITE OR YELLOW CAKE MIX, dry, sprinkled over the peaches and pour 24 oz of DIET SPRITE OR 7-UP over it, but DO NOT MIX IT. Bake covered about 45 minutes then removed foil and bake about 15 more. Makes a wonderful peach cobbler and even better the second day. I'm sure you can use blueberries or strawberries or any frozen fruit. Add some cool whip on top!
    add a can of sugar free cherry pie filling or fresh cut rhubarb with sugar free strawberry jello sprinkled over as the bottom layer, then add cake mix.. mmmm

    Taco Soup
    This recipe was given to me at my W.W. meeting from another member
    (thank you Barb) who found it to be delicious and low in points.
    I have tried it and it is indeed delicious! Enjoy!
    Makes (12) 1 cup servings

    Ingredients:

    1 lb. ground turkey (or lean ground beef )
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 pkg. Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix
    1 pkg. Taco Seasoning mix
    1 can Pinto Beans
    1 can Chile Hot Beans
    1 can whole kernel corn
    1 can stewed tomatoes (Mexican flavor)
    1 can stewed tomatoes (any flavor)

    Brown meat and onions, drain. Mix Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix and
    taco seasoning mix into meat. Then, without draining, add all of the other
    ingredients. Simmer 1 hour. If you can find the reduced sodium taco
    seasoning and the reduced sodium Hidden Valley it is very helpful because
    of the high sodium count in both the seasonings and the chili hot beans.
    This is delicious served with Baked Tostitos chips
    (they aren't in the point count per cup serving).

    SERVING SIZE: 1 cup soup

    POINTS: 2

    The Baked Tostitos chips are 2 points for 9 chips

    Follow Cooking Light on Twitter, use their website, OR subscribe to the magazine for a year. They have amazing recipes that are reasonably healthy and the nutritional information is always printed. Some of the recipes are already entered here in MFP. I'm a fan of the thai coconut curry shrimp and chicken tamale casserole.

    I'm not a cook at all so I'm needing some good healthy recipes. Anyone find something they LOVE that doesn't kill the weight loss?
