Sugar-Free Carrot and Date Cake

[2 SP per Serving] We have been looking for a cake for our little girl to smash next month. I may have found it in this cake. I'll be making this cake this weekend to see if my daughter will like it!

Lightened-Up Shepherd's Pie

[5 SP per serving] Lean ground beef makes keeps the fat and calories low here. Cauliflower is mashed with the potatoes to keep carbs down but still results in a creamy mash. Scallions add a pop of fresh flavour to the topping and tomato paste gives the filling a rich depth of flavour.

Eggplant Tomato Pie

[2 SP per serving] I love eggplant, although I am the only one in the family who does, and this recipe is a fantastic way to showcase it! This delectable pie has it all, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggplant, and tomatoes. Even though this is very close to a vegetarian recipe, it is filling. Go ahead and eat half the pie, that would only be 6 points!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Slow Cooker Santa Fe Meatloaf

[2 SP per Serving (2 Slices)] Oven-baked meatloaf can turn dry, but the moisture-sealing magic of the slow cooker makes this one melt in your mouth. Replacing the normal ground beef with ground turkey breast makes this dish very healthy.

Parmesan Zucchini Fritters With Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce

[5 SP per Serving] One of the best things about summer is all of the fresh produce. Out of all of the vegetables in my summer garden, zucchini is the most versatile. You can add it to muffins, oatmeal, cupcakes, pasta and more. 5-ingredient Parmesan Zucchini Fritters with Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce are an easy snack or appetizer that is ready in less than 25 minutes!

Broccoli Chicken Zucchini Boats

[2 SP per serving] We've all seen stuffed peppers and stuffed jalapenos, now it's time for a stuffed zucchini! The texture of the zucchini after being roasted will still have a nice bite that stands up to the cheesy gooey filling inside. It's a perfect lunch for you to have when you want something a little out of the ordinary. The filling on the inside is just perfect and really comes together with all of the flavours. It's almost a chicken vegetable medley with cheese and sour cream holding everything together. If you have extra points, I certainly advise adding bacon as it's a perfect addition to this. Aside from adding sour cream, you could do a light drizzle of ranch on top just to make the flavours pop that much more!

Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Cilantro Lime Slaw

[7 SP for 2 Tacos] This dish just sounds amazing, and with only a couple of tweeks from the original author's version, it is now Weight Watchers friendly. This is delicious spice-loaded shrimp layered on smashed avocado topped with a cabbage slaw that is topped with a homemade creamy lime sauce and topped with crumbly, cheese. Wrapped in a corn tortilla with a wedge of lime squeezed over the top? Don’t mind if I do.

Chicken Crack-Slaw

[1 SP per Serving] So I was at a Weight Watchers meeting a few months back and someone was talking about this "crackslaw." I had to know more about it. Crack slaw is basically just a simple stir fry made with cabbage and ground beef that is supposed to be so incredibly delicious that it’s addictive. Just like crack. Given that it’s high in protein, and low in sugar and carbs, I knew this would be a perfect Weight Watchers recipe to try. I choose to use ground chicken instead of ground beef to lower the fat content, added in some broccoli slaw I had on hand, and made a few tweaks to the seasoning.

Corn and Zucchini Summer Frittata

[1 SP per 6th of pie] "HELLO SUMMER!!" That's what your taste buds will say after trying this bright, fresh and herby Corn and Zucchini Summer Frittata. The fresh basil and chives, the juicy zucchini and the sweet corn combine perfectly with the fluffy eggs and rich sharp cheddar to make this frittata totally swoon-worthy. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob or zucchini (if the corn is already cooked you can just cut it off and skip cooking it)! You'll love the sharp white cheddar in this, but if that’s not your thing you could definitely substitute Mozzarella or another flavorful melty cheese.

Shrimp Zoodles Parmesan

[3 SP per serving] Baked Shrimp Parmesan over Zucchini Noodles - an easy, light and delicious shrimp dish made in under 30 minutes! Rather than frying the shrimp like you'd get from a restaurant, bake them in the oven until golden.
