Our WW weekly booklet this week was about using spices to Spice Things Up.
We have been grilling quite a bit since the weather has been nice. My husband likes nothing better than a good ole burger on the grill. I had a burger (just on a plate without bun or condiments) along with grilled zucchini and grilled corn on the cob. I sorta hated to waste 3 points for that darn corn, but I figure a whole grain for 3 points is better for me than 4 points on a chocolate ice cream bar. I have been using I Can't Believe it's Not Butter on my corn. The nutritional information says 0 calories per spray. I plugged it into the WW app and used 6 sprays and it still says 0 points (scares me a tiny bit as to what sort of chemical it actually is), but it tastes and looks like melted butter and then I sprinkle a dash of blackened seasoning on it and it is a yummy treat. It takes me back to the roasted corn on the cob I use to get at the fair.
I have used lots of blackened seasoning, red pepper flakes, paprika, and low sodium taco seasoning. I use Rotel tomatoes in lots of recipes that call for tomatoes.
These are just a few of the spices that I use. I have been trying to cut back on salt, because I DO LOVE IT!!!
Try Mrs Dash original. We use it on chicken and grilled veggies( yellow squash and zucchini) I have mixed with soft cream cheese for veggie dip "on the fly" So you had a HAMBUGER STEAK !!!
