Wedding Dress Shopping and WW Week 7

A couple of weeks ago I finally got down to Mestad's in Rochester to wedding dress shop. The trip was successful and I purchased my dress. There was a trunk show there that weekend and so I got to meet the designer. Her name was Michelle Roth and she sells Henri Roth dresses. They only sell their dresses at a few stores around the country. Mestad's is one of them and she took the dress back to New York with her. So I like to think that I am the only bride in Minnesota that will be wearing that dress. :) My Mom and Rachel obviously came with. But my Aunt Julie and Cousin Liz came with too which made the day SO much more special. We finished the day off with a delicious meal at Victoria's. Thanks Julie and Liz!!


Week 7 Weight Watcher Recipe

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

8 Serving and 5 points per serving

12 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow-type
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
12 oz fat-free evaporated milk
8 oz low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp dried bread crumbs
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain and transfer to a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, stir in sour cream; set aside.
Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles appear just around the edges (known as scalding). Reduce heat to low, add cheese and simmer until cheese melts, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Add cheese mixture to pasta; mix well. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.
Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over pasta.
Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
