  1. dh and i loved this salad. simple to make, good for a hot summer weeknight meal. i used green tea soba noodles, which are a bit lighter than regular soba. also subbed some napa cabbage for the spinach, cause that's what i had on hand. will definitely make again!
     
  2. this was a wonderful quick lunch meal which is easy to prepare. the only changes i made was adding fresh grated ginger to the dressing as i didn't have pickled ginger to add at the end. i prefer my spinach wilted so i added it to the colander before draining the soba noodles. then i added some thai basil from my garden. very refreshing.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
