Garden Vegetable Soup, Bitches!

I PROMISE this blog will not turn into weight-loss central, but I have to tell you how excited I am to be following the Weight Watchers plan again. It is such a pleasure not to have to eat meat and cheese for every meal, like I did before.

Today I decided to make one of my Weight Watchers faves - Garden Vegetable Soup. It's supposed to be one of those "no points" things you can eat as much as you want of, but I throw in so many vegetables that I always charge myself a point when I eat a bowl.

I went to the excellent Fruit and Vegetable market in my neighborhood and picked up my veggies - along with some other healthy crap to snack on. For the grand total of $8.52, this is what I came home with:


Yes bitches, and I live in Manhattan! I loves me some my veggie market. And YES - I came home and arranged my fruit/veggies in a basket to make a prettier picture for you all. If you ever had any doubts about my homosexuality, that should put them to rest immediately.

Basically I chopped everything up and threw it in a pot with fat-free chicken stock and a little tomato paste. It smells delicious!


Now it's time to eat...
