Thank you!
As a WW member for over eleven years, I'd really recommend your DH and yourself join as well. You can learn so much more about how to lose the weight and keep it off, than just changing your menus and recipes. There's no food you must eat and no food you absolutely can't eat. It's a great program!
Good Luck!

Thanks QuiltE for your thoughts! My philosophy is eat less, exercise more. Everything in moderation. I’ve recently lost 30 lbs. and am now no longer over weight. For me it’s a life style change not a "diet" I also try to avoid processed foods. Just want to come up with recipes that my husband will enjoy that are healthier.
Edited: I forgot to mention it's been a slow but steady process, I started last October.

I substitute drained, canned carrots for fresh.

1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

We make up a lot of stuff on the fly. But, as you have already learned, a great way to lose weight and keep it off is to cut out all processed, pre-packaged foods and eat fresh, homemade foods.
Also, if he is a soda drinker, cutting that out will help.
Just keep reminding him, everything in moderation. Nothing should be completely off limits.
Best of luck.

I make this for family and friends and they love it. Sounds strange but very good.
Lemon Blueberry & Chicken Salad
2 c. fresh blueberries, divided
1 container low fat Lemon Yogurt
3 Tbl. Mayo
Salt (if needed)
2 c. cooked, cubed chicken breast
½ c. sliced green onions
¾ C. diagonally sliced celery
½ C. diced sweet red pepper
Reserve a few blueberries for garnish. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, and salt. Add remaining blueberries, the chicken, green onions, celery, and the bell pepper; mix gently. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors blend, at least 30 minutes. Serve over endive or other greens, garnish with remainder blueberries and lemon slices, if desired.
