USA Weekend and Better Homes and Gardens food columnist and best-selling cookbook author, Pam Anderson finally tired of yo-yo dieting and figured out how to change her life. Three years ago she lost 40 pounds. More to the point, she’s kept it off. To lose weight and maintain it, she had to find a way to shave calories from her diet, without much compromise. Like everyone else, she wanted her meals fast, foolproof, flavorful and fun.
Her class will be part seminar—teaching people how to change their lives so they’re motivated to eat a little less and exercise a little more—and part cooking class. She’ll demonstrate a recipe or formula from each meal of her day: breakfast, lunch, tea-time, pre-dinner nibble, and dinner, ending class with a light dessert.

Breakfast: Quick Open-Faced Omelet With Spinach, Feta, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Lunch: Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

Pre-dinner Nibble: Goat Cheese-Topped Wine Biscuits with Rosemary and Cracked Black Pepper

Dessert: Double Chocolate Tartlets
