" Just in time for the most diet- and health-conscious time of the year, Weight Watchers has released its newest title, Weight Watchers in 20 Minutes. The spiral-bound cookbook contains 250 recipes punctuated by colorful, appealing photos every few pages.  The helpful chefs at Weight Watchers developed a collection of super-fast recipes that take you from breakfast to lunch to dinner and dessert. There&amp;#039;s even a section of 15-minute recipes for people who can&amp;#039;t spare the extra five. I myself need recipes that are fast, because after work and the gym (if I psych myself up enough to do it!), I have precious little time to prepare a nourishing yet tasty dinner. How many nights a week can a girl survive on cheese and crackers alone? Not many if I want to retain my sanity! The short prep and cooking time for these recipes lends itself to a brief list of ingredients, which is also a time-saver. Instead of eyeing the express lane with envy, WW lets you take advantage of the 10-items-or-less rule. Assuming you have a few minutes in the morning to prepare breakfast, I would recommend the Banana-Peach Protein Smoothie. You can take the fruity beverage in a to-go cup and its impressive amounts of fiber and protein will keep you full until lunch. If I were having company for brunch, I&amp;#039;d happily serve the Crab and Chive Frittata or the Smoked Salmon, Dill and Red Onion Pizzas made with golden-toasted whole-wheat tortillas. Lunchtime brings a wide array of options, including Santa Fe-Style Roasted Chicken Salad, Grilled Vegetable-Gruyere Sandwiches, Microwave Potato Nachos, and Kielbasa and Black Bean Soup. Having eaten a lot of ramen in my day, I am most drawn to the Double Mushroom Broth with Soba Noodles which features spicy fresh ginger and earthy soba noodle in a sesame-scented broth. To up the vitamin content, I would add fresh greens such as Swiss chard or spinach to the soup during the last five minutes of cooking. Dinner recipes are broken down into Chicken and Turkey, Steak and Chops, Fish, and Vegetarian chapters. Always a lamb lover, I like the looks of the Lamb Burgers with Garlicky Yogurt Sauce, and in the white meat category, yes, yes, and more yes to the Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken with Nectarine-Basil Salsa. Now, I don&amp;#039;t cook fish at home very often (mostly because I never trust the freshness factor), but I would change my tune for the lemony Ham-Wrapped Flounder with Spinach Stuffing. In all, the recipes in this cookbook are universally appealing yet rather standard. But what they lack in innovation and excitement, they more than make up for in efficiency. Who wants a delicious, home-cooked dinner in 20 minutes flat? I do!! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
