Cutting Tips To Avoid Cutting Tips – Plus Bonus “Creamed” Corn Recipe!

While the grilled salmon with bacon and corn relish recipe
we posted Monday was extremely well received, some viewers had a problem with
my extremely dangerous and difficult to perform method for shaving the corn off
the cob.


So, just in case you’re one of these people who prefer your
culinary techniques not to be dangerous or difficult, I’m posting this
alternative method. Sure it’s just as fast, just as easy, and way safer, but
you do have to admit, my style was way more exciting.

Anyway, since I had freshly cut corn at my heavily-scared
fingertips, I decided to show you my new favorite recipe for creamed corn. This
lower-cal take on the classic side dish features Greek yogurt and a little Indian
spice, and I was absolutely thrilled with how it came out. 

The flavor was great, and the tangy yogurt gave the dish such an
interesting texture. I couldn’t stop eating it. So, if you’re looking for
another easy, and relatively healthy way to enjoy fresh, sweet corn, I hope you
give this a try soon. Just be safe, and as always, enjoy!


Ingredients for 4 portions:
2 large ears sweet corn
2 tsp olive oil
salt to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
cayenne to taste
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp garam masala
3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (or more if you want it creamier)
2 tsp freshly sliced chives

Blueberry Banana PB Smoothie

After being on vacation for a week, it felt great to get back into my normal routine.  My morning started at the gym where I ran/walked 2 miles. Then I came home to make this purple smoothie with frozen blueberries, a banana, and a little Greek yogurt and PB2 for protein.

PB2[1], if you’re not familiar, is a roasted peanut powder, made with just roasted peanuts, salt and sugar. No artificial ingredients, it’s non-GMO, and 2 tablespoons contains just 1.5 g of fat so it’s a perfect way to enjoy peanut butter, without the added fat. To make it into peanut butter, you simply add a little water.

Personally,  I love adding it to my smoothies but when I have a sandwich, I stick with the real thing. If you want to use regular peanut butter here, 1/2 tablespoon is the equivalent to maintain the same calories and weight watcher points.

Weight Watchers Note: I added the fruit in recipe builder, but I will leave it up to you if you want to count the fruit or keep it 0 points. Since I couldn’t get a clear answer, and some Smoothie recipes on the Weight Watcher website include the fruit, while other recipes do not, I decided to count them.
