I'm still plugging along. I lost 0.6 pounds bringing me to 7.4 pounds lost. It's coming off slowly, but surely.
Let me start by saying I love Hollandaise sauce. I love it so much I can eat it with a spoon. That's not a good thing at 13 points for 1/4 cup or 48 points for the whole mess. Not to mention what that butter was doing to my arteries. This is one of those things I crave and luckily WW has me covered.
Light Hollandaise Sauce
Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook 2006
Points: 1
Serving: 1/4 cup
1 large egg lightly beaten
1 cup chicken broth, fat-free, low sodium
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice*
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Combine egg, chicken broth, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened and starting to boil. Stir constantly. Bring to a boil for 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice, butter, salt, and cayenne until combined.
* I bumped this up to 3-1/2 tablespoons to kill the chicken broth taste and it was yummy. My arteries and hips thank me. I love this on green beans, crab cakes, and for Eggs Benedict. Yum!
These two recipes were given at our local WW meeting.

I haven't tried these, but the time is coming. I'm ready for something sweet.
