Roasted Potatoes with fresh herbs
POINTS® Value: 4
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 45 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Works with Simply Filling
A fresh lemon-parsley topping gives these French-style potatoes incredible flavor. Slice the potatoes evenly for the best results.
Ingredients
3 pound(s) potato(es), Russet-variety (about 3 large)
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin
1/4 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 1/2 Tbsp parsley, fresh, flat-leaf, minced
1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place oven racks in top 1/3 of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (or use nonstick baking sheets coated with cooking spray).
Peel potatoes and slice horizontally into 1/4-inch-thick slices; place on prepared baking sheets. Drizzle potatoes with oil and gently toss to coat (use your hands to rub oil onto both sides of each slice); season to taste with salt and pepper. Make sure potatoes are in a single layer and roast until browned on bottom, about 25 minutes. Flip potatoes and rotate baking sheets; roast until browned on other side, about 20 to 25 minutes more (you can season this side with salt and pepper too, if desired).
Meanwhile, in bottom of a large serving bowl, combine parsley, lemon zest and garlic. Add potato slices; gently toss. Yields 1/2 sliced potato per serving.

Your weekend survival guide
Two days off work doesn't have to be your worst enemy. Follow our guide to making the most of your weekend without messing up your weight-loss plans.
From WW.com
Weekdays are a lot easier these days. The Monday-to-Friday routine keeps your eating and exercise plans on track, and by the end of the week you are feeling great.
Then, it's the weekend! But don't worry: With just a little care and attention, these two days can become bonuses rather than booby traps.
This is the time for smart strategies:
Plan your pleasure
If you know that the weekend may include a decadent brunch with friends and you're not looking to indulge in an extreme meal, book a table at a place that you know specializes in fruit platters and juices or luscious salads and grilled seafood. Schedule a couple of long leisurely walks, bike rides or swims. And don't think you've crashed if you find you've overdone it at breakfast and lunch was less than ideal. The cool thing about POINTS® is that you can shift them around — spend your weekly POINTS Allowance when something special comes up. And if you momentarily forget all about them, learn from your mishaps and focus on getting back on track. Give yourself an immediate health boost by being active. Hey, you could even earn some bonus activity POINTS.
Play "good cop" with yourself
Life's too short to beat yourself up. The weekend is a mini-vacation, so relax and pamper yourself, preferably in nonfood ways. Make the time now to spoil yourself with a long, hot bath, try on different outfits, catch up with friends or splurge on a new book or chunky glossy magazine to celebrate your break from work. If you need to, ask your spouse, family or friends to help out with babysitting so you can give yourself a well-earned hour or two alone. Keep your mind active — and your hands, too — so you don't mindlessly start snacking.
Seize the day
Leave town, take a hike, ride your bike, go fly a kite, goof off — just do something different. Take in a foreign movie, join a language class, read stories to your kids, visit grandma, dig in the garden. Use these two wonderful, precious days and make them count. Turn them into allies, not potential weight-watching assassins. Take an hour and make a list of all the things you can do — and would like to do — on the weekends and hang it beside your calendar. Each weekend, choose a couple of things from the list and do them.
Back on Track
Just in case you let yourself slip over the weekend, here are five things you can do on Monday to get yourself back on track.
1.Look in the mirror and be glad it is a new day. Every day is a fresh start with POINTS values.
2.Have a healthy breakfast.
3.Put on a happy face — take extra care with how you look.
4.Pack a balanced, POINTS values-friendly lunch.
5.Get in a walk at lunchtime, or spend a few minutes in the morning toning up your muscles.

How to respond to Saboteaurs
Cindi L. sent me this today and I want to share it with you.
From Clean Eating magazine & I thought these positive statements would be good for the group to help deal with potential saboteurs:
*I'm trying to eat better- say-Thanks, I'm going to pass for now.
*I can't have any-say-Thank you! I may have a little bit later.
*That's not good for you-say-Thanks, I'm full. Everything was delicious.
*I'm watching my weight-say-I just ate, but I'd love to keep you company.
*I'm not supposed to eat that.-say-It looks delicious! Can I have the recipe?
*It's too fattening.-say-That is so thoughtful of you to make it just for me. Can I take some home?
*None for me, thanks.-say-I'm going to stick with my water/juice/tea for now.
*I told you I'm on a diet!-say-I've had plenty, thanks. I'm going to pass on dessert for now.
Helpful tips for sidestepping sabotuers:
1. Express Gratitude
2. Acknowledge the Effort
3. Suggest an Alternative
The key apparently is to not make people feel rejected? And to never be caught off guard.
