Hello, Weight Watchers! Last week, we discussed using the Motivating Strategy Tool for Living to help make the mental image of our Winning Strategies bright, vivid, and realistic. What “juicy” words did you add to your goals? Did snapping that mental image into focus help to motivate you this week?
GET THE PRODUCTS YOU WANT
Did you know that you can order any of the Weight Watchers products in the Healthy Choices catalog? This is the white binder that I bring to all meetings. There is a page for each product, highlighting features and with a large (and readable!) ingredients list for those who may have any special dietary needs. I try to have a wide variety of products available each week, but e-mailing me or filling out an order form the week before guarantees that I will have as many of your favorite products as you need the following week. Payment is due when you receive your order.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese
From WeightWatchers.com
POINTS® Value: 5 | Servings: 8
Core if whole wheat pasta and FF cheese are used
12 oz uncooked (white or whole wheat) macaroni, elbow-type
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
12 oz fat-free evaporated milk
8 oz low-fat cheddar or Colby cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp dried breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, stir in sour cream; set aside. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear just around the edges (known as scalding). Reduce heat to low, add cheese and simmer until cheese melts, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well.
Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish. Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta. Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Moisten edges of wrapper with wet fingers, fold over one corner to make a triangle and press sides together to seal.
