(Don’t you hate the word “diet”?  It has such a negative connotation.)

I’ve lost 11 pounds in four weeks.  My Healthy Eating plan is through Weight Watchers Points Plus on line.

Easter dinner was a bit of a challenge.  I wanted to make a good dinner for my family, but I didn’t want to sabotage my Healthy Eating Plan.  I made an herbed pork loin (delicious), green salad, vegetable…and in the past I would have made cheesy potatoes.  You know the ones — sour cream, lotsa cheese, cream-of-something soup.  I love them, and so does my family.

I decided to try something different, and one of the things I really love about WW is their recipes.  It makes it easier to make healthy choices.  I decided to try their Potatoes Au Gratin.  Weight Watcher photo:

What a winner!  Reduced-fat cheese, whole milk, Yukon Gold potatoes, onion, a touch of butter and seasonings.    Everyone enjoyed them, and best of all…they don’t taste “diet”.  They don’t even taste “healthy”.  They taste DELICIOUS!

My favorite place to walk to is the South Jetty.  It’s about 4 1/2 miles round trip, and there’s always something interesting to see.  Yesterday it was a Snowy Egret fishing for his breakfast:
