Let's get a new thread with Weight Watcher recipes only. Be sure to list points/and or calories so we can all keep track. I'll start off with this one.

1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

I fix a sugar free peach jam with a liberal amount of grated horseradish to use as a dipping sauce. nAdd points accordingly.

We've made the Chipotle Avocado Pork Wraps several times now, and the other day we substituted some sliced left over flank steak in place of the pork. That might change the points a little but we otherwise did not alter the recipe. YUMMY!

Here's one more to try.

Tiramisu


4 POINTS
Servings | 8
The secret to low-calorie tiramisu? Three incredible layers of moist, sweet cake (fat-free angel food), rich, creamy cheese (fat-free and light) and decadent chocolate (cocoa and shaved semi-sweet).

Ingredients
10 oz angel food cake, about 10-inches round
8 oz fat-free cream cheese
4 oz light cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 oz semisweet chocolate, finely grated
4 fl oz brewed espresso, (1/2 cup) or strong coffee

Instructions
Using a serrated knife, cut angel food cake into 12 equal slices; set aside.
In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine both cream cheeses, sugar and vanilla. Mix until blended and smooth. Combine cocoa and grated chocolate in a separate bowl; set aside. Pour espresso into a shallow dish.
Dip 4 cake slices into espresso mixture and turn to coat. Place slices crosswise in bottom of an 8-inch loaf pan and press cake down to coat bottom (break up cake if necessary to coat surface).
Gently spread 1/3 cream cheese mixture over cake layer. Sprinkle with 1/3 cocoa mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining cake slices, cream cheese mixture and cocoa mixture to make 3 layers.

Refrigerate 2 hours. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.

I will be trying the Paella soon. It sounds wonderful. DW has sworn off what she calls "recreational" sugar so the cake will have to wait but I have had it before and it is really good. Thanks for the recipes.

Wow, I forgot all about that pineapple Angel food cake. It's been a few years since I've made that and it is good. We're going camping this weekend so I think I'll make one to bring with us.

Here is one of my favorite WW recipe's. It's easy and really good.


PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

1 angel food cake mix
1 large can crushed pineapple in it's own juice
one carton no-fat cool whip

Mix angel food cake with one can of pineapple (add nothing else) Mix with spoon or spatula. Spray a 9x13" pan with non stick spray. Bake @ 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the cake is done. Let it cool and frost with cool whip. Cut it into 20 pieces and it's 2 points per serving. Bigger pieces more points! (It's also good with strawberries on top)

I came across this thread while looking for healthier foods for hubby and I. Just wanted to say instead of printing it off, this is what I did. First, I saved the thread to My Favorites for later reference. Then I copied and pasted the recipes I want to try first into an e-mail to myself and I'll print that off. Thanks to all for these great recipes!

[SteveRuff]

Nothing to add right now. Just bumping this back so people can see it.

Thanks again Steve.

Here's another chicken thing that makes the skinless, boneless, tasteless, breast a bit more palatable.

Peppered Chicken Breasts

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves (4 oz. each)
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt

Mustard Sauce

2 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white grape juice (okay, I used white wine!)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tsp Dijon mustard

snipped chives

Rub chicken with oil; sprinkle with pepper and salt. Place in a greased 11 x 7 baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 425 for 15-20 minutes until juices run clear.

Combine cornstarch and sour cream until smooth

In a small saucepan combine broth, grape juice, and onions. Bring to a boil; cook 4-5 minutes until reduced to 1 cup liquid. Gradually whisk in sour cream mixture. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in mustard until blended. Serve over chicken, sprinkle with chives.

Those "Poor Man's Turtles" are awesome! A friend made those for a party and we just gobbled them up. I have to buy a small roll of the Rolos so I won't make to many of them.
