One of my biggest weaknesses is pasta. I don't know. Maybe I was Italian in a past life or something. But the point is when I have pasta I tend to overdo it. I'm talking a mountain of pasta heaped up on my plate. Usually topped with about a quarter of a jar of Parmesan cheese. Yeah mega calories city. When it comes to healthy eating pasta has been and always will be my weakness. However, I found a group on my facebook page one day called Weight Watchers Recipes. and let me tell you these people have some recipes that make your mouth water! I was a happy girl when I found a recipe for chili mac. It has 325 calories a serving. That may seem a little high however not to bad if you have one serving and pair it with some steamed broccoli and a side salad. Here is the recipe. Enjoy!
