WW Cookbook

[-Kate-]

Hey ladies!

I just got the "Complete" WW cookbook at Costco today. If anyone is looking for a recipe for a particular food let me know and I'll look it up. The book seriously has every basic food you could want plus points. I'll post whatever you guys request!

Great purchase! I can't wait to request some recipes... hmmm.... I need to think of something that I want to eat and I'll let you know what it is!

I think I'll be the taste-tester for the recipes in the cookbook. Tonight Brett made the Beef Barley soup from WW - it was good. Great when you want a hearty soup on a cold winter night - and not too hard to make!

[gkashmira]

Please post it up! I don't eactually eat beef but I LOVE soup and I can pretty much de-meat almost all receipes since there are so many great substitutes out there these days.

Kate, are there any recipes for good munchy snacks? That's my weakness...

I'll post the soup and any munchie snacks tonight when I get home from work. Sarah - you looking for sweet or savory?

[Sarah]

I tend to lean more toward the savory snacks, although if you've got something sweet that's not to be missed, I'm all for it!

I owe you guys an apology for not posting those recipes yet! I got swamped at work and had a baby shower and xmas party today. Tomorrow is a dedicated wedding day though so I'll post the recipes then for sure. Sorry!

[Sarah]

No worries! Nothing on this forum should be obligatory or pressured If you get around to it cool, if it takes awhile- I'm sure we'll survive
