Cabbage Soup

[1 SP per serving] This soup is a complete winner when you are hungry simply because it is so low in points. The best part is you can customize the soup to your liking, just make sure you count the points if you are adding something other than veggies. You can also pair it with a nice sandwich.It takes me 20 minutes from start to finish to make this soup. Completely worth the effort.

Strawberry Yogurt Cake

[3 SP per serving] What more do I have to say, other than "fresh strawberry bunt cake"? When you start Weight Watchers, you tell yourself that you will cut out the fattening foods that you love to eat, and you feel a little deprived. With this recipe, you can go back to the food that you love and have a slice of cake!

Chicken & Broccoli Mini Pies

[2 SP per pie] I don't know a single person who does not like chicken pot pie. Unfortunately, chicken pot pie is very often high in points. These little pot pies are reminiscent of the traditional pot pie but much lower in points.

Banana Breakfast Smoothie

[4 SP per serving] I have always loved a breakfast smoothie, they just kick my day off and leave me feeling full until lunch. The problem with smoothies is that they are very rich in points. As a result, I stopped drinking them when I started Weight Watchers. This recipe was featured on the Biggest Loser, and while I do not recommend losing as much weight at a single time as in those shows, I do recommend this version of the smoothie.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

[1 SP per cup] Its fall folks, so let us jump on board the Pumpkin train. Everywhere I look, I see signs for Pumpkin Spice Lattes and I have to say that I love them. The problem with this is that a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Second Cup or Starbucks (even using Skim Milk) is over 10 SP per cup! I know I can't afford that amount of points on a coffee twice a day. This recipe is the solution to this problem!

Zucchini Lasagna with Zucchini Ricotta

[8 SP per serving] Ok...let me be brutally honest with you, I love pasta and lasagna is on the top of the list. Unfortunately, lasagna is not normally healthy. This recipe helps to solve this issue. The mouthfeel is almost exactly the same and the flavour is delicious, but a little different than your mother's lasagna. Give it a try, I am sure you won't be disappointed.

Potato Cakes

[3 SP per cake] These quick and easy potato cakes will keep you coming back for more, and at only 3 SP per cake, have a couple of them! They are very easy to make as well, I recommend using those left over mashed potatoes that we all have but end up throwing out at the end of the night.

One-Pot Cabbage Casserole

[1 SP per serving] As a Ukrainian, I love cabbage rolls a little too much. Recently, I was introduced to the German version of cabbage rolls, and I have to say they do hit the spot. This is an easier version of a German cabbage roll; skip the rolling and make it all in a single pot! With fall firmly in place here in Western Canada, it is time to start with the comfort food that "sticks to your ribs and warms you up from the inside" as my mother would say.

Old Fashioned Rice Pudding

[4 SP per serving] Right off, I'd like to be perfectly clear, this is not as good as my mother's recipe, but that would be a far cry from something that is healthy. This is a take on my mother's recipe that has been tweaked to be much healthier. I grew up eating this stuff, and I have to say that it is delicious but fattening. So in this recipe, I replaced the sugar with Truvia and the butter with no-fat margarine. The taste is affected a little, but only a little, and it drops from 7 SP to 4. This is healthy enough to eat for breakfast, which I highly recommend.

Sweet and Sour Turkey Meatballs

[1 SP per serving] A perfect party appetiser! Having been invited to two different pot luck meals this past weekend, I was searching for something different to bring. This dish popped up, and while I was not able to make them (both meals were outside with no access to power) I do mean to make this in the near future!

Roasted Garlic Mushrooms

[0 SP per serving] Yes, that's correct folks, this is 0 points for each serving or only 1 point for the whole recipe! I've been looking for an appetiser that is cheap on the points but very tasty on the tongue and I came across this little gem. Reading through the recipe, the only item that could possibly give points is the balsamic vinegar! And these just taste so good.

Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

[2 SP per cupcake] With October fast approaching, and our pumpkin patch starting to produce, it is officially Pumpkin season. What better way to celebrate this time of year than with pumpkin pie! On the Weight Watchers plan, pumpkin pie is a no-no, so these little beauties are a much healthier option and they taste fantastic. These are even healthy enough to eat for breakfast.

Turkey Fajita Stuffed Zucchini

[3 SP per serving] I laid off the zucchini recipes for a couple of days, but there are still zucchinis in the garden, so on to our next candidate. This is a different take on the stuffed zucchini from the previous with a very nice flavour of fajitas. I personally love fajitas and this is just a fantastic taste.

Fully Loaded Baked Turnip Fries

[3 SP per serving] Are you new to Weight Watchers or a similar diet? Do you miss loaded french fries? If so, then this one is for you. I understand that many of you have pre-labelled turnips as disgusting, but you need to give this recipe a chance people!
