Vegetable soup ww point free

Tonight we are having vegetable soup that is zero points on weight watchers. I use broth, bouillon cubes, cabbage. You can put any veggies in it, but I like just cabbage in mine. I steam the cabbage first. I like this soup because it is quick and low points. I also heat up white rice and put that in my soup. That I have to count the points for, but it makes it so much better. Sometimes we put some Curry Paste into our soup, and it adds even more yummy flavor.

Yummy holiday cooking and back on track

The holidays were fun. Now that I am home full time I can do way more fun things with my family. Over the holidays I made magic cookie bars, chocolate chip cookies, cookies with colored chips, and more. All of them were very yummy. We also had nachos, beef stew, and other tasty dinners. I have the house back in order. Now it is time to return to healthy eating. I want to come up with some new healthy yummy dinners and snacks for my family to enjoy. I am going to start making something tasty with my son as well each week. I want to get more into slow cooking as well. I have not used one in a long time. Tonight we are having tofu and tortillas with coleslaw on them. We use super firm tofu and fry it up in a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Then we put some sauce on it. I like general sauce, but my husband likes something with spice to it. We put the tofu on tortillas and put some coleslaw (no dressing) on it. We eat it like a taco. It is very yummy and very healthy. On Weight Watcher it is 9 points for two tacos, and that includes an entire pack of tofu so there is still some tofu to eat on the plate by itself. I will probably have a skinny cow ice cream after for dessert.
