Too often, when we think of healthy meals, we tend to think of them as boring, tasteless and...well just old blah! Don't tell that to the editors of Weight Watchers Magazine. Editor Theresa DiMasi stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to discuss their new cookbook, Weight Watchers Family Meals. She told Tonia that not only are the recipes healthy, they're incredibly easy to throw together. One of them, Grilled Skirt Steak with Roasted Pepper Salsa is very simple to make, but complex and delicious in the flavor department! Theresa also noted they don't skimp on dessert here, she told Tonia about a yummy concoction for Pineapple Shortcakes. All of the flavor, none of the bad stuff!
