They are back at Costco. The steamers come in a box that has three packages. Just pop in the microwave for 5 minutes. These come in their own garlic sauce. I prepared whole-grain pasta, three in a few calamata olives, asparagus spears and cherry tomatoes. Toss with the clams and yum!

Easter craziness
With 11 people for dinner, pictures were the last of my thoughts. We had a simple, yet tasty meal with ham. I pushed whole cloves into the outside of the ham and warmed it up, adding the glaze during the last few minutes. Warding off the normal scalloped potatoes (due to calories) I made red potatoes with chives. Fresh greenbeans from Costco were first blanched, then tossed with olive oil, bacon, carmalized onions, lemon zest and citrus pepper. I made a salad with mixed greens, mandarin oranges, low fat feta cheese, drizzled with balsamic vinegar dressing (non fat). I served Costo rolls, warmed in the oven. For dessert we had the fruit pie from Costco and also a low calorie hit of Pineapple cake.
Take 1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 can of pineapple with the juice
1 t. baking soda
top with chopped nuts and a tad brown sugar. Bake at 350. This is a tasty and moist recipe converted to a low calorie delight.

Scallops with salsa cruda
The loss saga
I joined Weight Watchers at the first of the year, along with every other Tom, Dick and Mary. I think Jane was there too. I have thoroughly enjoyed the venture so far. My love for baking has always killed me in the past. My determination now is to transform that into creative meals, using recipes from books, on-line or from my head.
