I came across this recipe in Taste of Home magazine.  My SIL and I prepared
it a few nights ago and it was very good.  It probably doesn't need 3 tbsp.
of butter.  Next time I will try just 1 tbsp. or perhaps 1 tbsp. of olive
oil instead.

Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes

8 oz. uncooked linguine
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
6 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. butter

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a large serving
bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, salt and
pepper.  Drain pasta and toss with butter.  Add to tomato mixture and toss
to coat.

I do!  I've just been on vacation (still am) and mostly lurking now that I
have access again. I have a long drive home (DH driving) tomorrow and was
planning on working on replies to the messages I kept, inlcuding this one :)

It's good you're going back in the right direction. The whole weight loss
thing is a continual learning process.  And yes, in spite of what stupid
trolls say, you know that your body needs some good fats in order to
function properly.

I do too!  Sorry Lee, got distracted by that recipe!

You are going in the right direction!  Congratulations.  Increasing the
amount
of healthy fats to what WW suggests certainly can't do any harm.  Let us
know how it works out.

Wow, this is fantastic.  I was on vacation last week, Wednesday through
Sunday in New York so this is the first time I've seen your post.  I use
olive oil when I cook so that's how I get my fats most of the time. Have
a great week.

thanks, I hope you are doing well, Lee
