Recipe Notes
I used finely chopped ham, green onion, red bell pepper and reduced fat cheddar cheese in these omelet muffins, but they’re easy to customize to suit your likes and what you have on hand.
Using half whole eggs and half egg whites keeps them lower in fat and calories while still getting the health benefits of the yolks.

If you’re a Weight Watcher, you’re most likely familiar with Gina and her blog Skinnytaste. Gina turned to Weight Watchers when she wanted to lose a few pounds. Though she liked the program it was a struggle to find enough tempting recipes to help her stay on track and satisfy her family. She started Skinnytaste when she began successfully “skinny-fying” her favorite meals.
Her Skinnytaste Cookbook features 150 amazing recipes that are light on calories, big on flavor. With 100 stunning photographs and detailed nutritional information for every recipe it’s an incredible resource of deliciously satisfying meals that every home cook will love.
I’ve already flagged dozens of recipes I can’t wait to try.
I like simple nourished living on facebook.
My favorite cook books are the hungry girl books. I would like to win the cook book because I like the recipes on your web site and having the book at home would be a great addition since I follow weight watchers.
Betty Crocker is the cookbook I pull out the most. Would love some new ideas….
My favorite cookbook is a 300+ page collection from a regional power company. It was compiled by their employees 25 years ago and is long out of print, but I still use it as my go-to for most events. As for Skinnytaste, I was delighted to see mainstream recipes tailored for Weight Watchers use. I would love the cookbook since I’ve begun to use many of these recipes on a regular basis.
I still love my “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” by Julia Child. I would love to win a copy of the “Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories Big on Flavor” to help me on my Weight Watchers journey.
I just love your recipes!– I would love to win and share with my friends at work!!
I love Pinterest for recipes and I am now following ALL of your boards. Thanks!
Right now I love using the Low Carb Bible cookbook, but would love to have the SKinnytaste Cookbook for a more balanced approach. Thanks for the opportunity.
Current fav is 365 Slow Cooker Suppers by Stephanie O’Dea, and then I work to skinny the recipes down.
Winning your book would be lovely – can have some fab new recipes that are good to go, just as written! Many thanks for your consideration and offering this book as a prize!
I don’t have a favorite cookbook. I’ve been following SIMPLE START and have lost 9 pounds so far. Doing my own recipes out of my head but enjoy yours here on your post. In fact, I plan to make these brkfst muffins in the morning before I head off to my water exercise class at the rec center. Would love to have your cookbook. Thanks for the chance to win it here. God bless…
