Fresh Papaya
Hi Everyone! Since I started doing Weight Watchers I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, mostly because they are zero points. They are also a healthy and delicious snack!

When I go shopping, especially at Wegmans, there are TONS of different types of fresh produce to look at. I often try to look for one new type of fruit or vegetable that I…

Ranch dressing is my Dad’s favorite salad dressing and I have tried time and again to make it for him, but not with the best results. I was stupidly trying to make ranch dressing without buttermilk, because I don’t normally keep it in my kitchen and my Mom doesn’t keep it in hers either. I tried sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, yogurt, and various other combinations of ingredients, with only so-so results. I finally broke down, and tried a recipe with buttermilk, and I am telling you; it is the key ingredient! Totally worth it, and I…

Unfortunately, even I do not always have the time to make yogurt, but when I can do it, I do, and it is totally worth it! I think if…
