The second week I was gone, I was in Paris:
In addition to pictures, I am also pleased to report that I brought back only 1.4 extra pounds. And that was while eating whatever I pleased. Which I quite enjoyed. But now, back to business....

Non-WW Product of the Week
I've been digging the heck out of Campbell's Select Gold Label soup. These are the soups that come in rectangular boxes, usually found just below the cans of soup. In particular I like the Golden Butternut Squash. Check out the nutrition information at the link, and you'll see it's a great Points value. A quick lunch is just a few minutes away.
Recipe of the Week
African Spiced Chicken Stew
Serves 4
5 Points and Core
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 lb chicken tenders cut into 1" pieces
3/4 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cinnamon
14.5 oz fat-free low sodium chicken broth
12 oz frozen squash puree, thawed
1 cup frozen corn kernels
3/4 tsp salt
Heat oil over high heat and cook the chicken until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and spices. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add broth, squash, corn and salt, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes.

Tip of the Week
Want to make sure you don't put more dinner on your plate than you think you ought to? Avoid serving family style at the table. Dish up proper portions in the kitchen, and leave the pot of leftovers behind. Having to get up and walk to the stove to get your second serving might be the split second you need to say "do I really want that?"
