I figured out that there are
584 calories per serving, if 8 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
This is the sister
dish to Penne alla Betsy. I
alternated these two dishes every day for two weeks. I love both of them so much. I did have one problem with
this dish. The store ran out of
pimentos so I did without. Jenny Anderson made it and let me taste hers and the
pimentos really deepen the flavor.
The next time I make this one, I will make sure I find the illusive
pimentos. These two recipes should be eaten at least once a week all year. They are really that good. Thanks Ree, for introducing me to these
two gems.
Why Weight?
Now
that I know that the secret to losing weight is portion control and exercise,
the diet commercials annoy me. I swear that Marie Osmond is on every time I
turn on the tube. It isn’t that I begrudge her selling the system, but I know
from a lot of personal experience that when you go on a diet eventually you
will go off of it. What I needed to learn was to eat whatever I want, but in
moderation. I love Ree’s food even
though it is high in calories, but I can eat it for every meal, every day. All I had to do was figure out the
calories for each recipe and then stick to my current total for the day. I guess I shouldn’t complain because I
went that way for a long time until eventually I figured out what worked for
me. To each his/her own.
