Zucchini Squares

[2 SP per Square] So this year, our garden only really produced a few peas, a couple of pumpkins are and a whole lot of zucchinis. So I've been looking around for all sorts of different ways to use zucchini, and this one looks great!  Have to try this side dish; a good side dish can add a lot towards turning a plate of food into a really good meal.

These squares have the texture of a crustless quiche. They are light, fluffy, flavorful, cheesy and healthy. They are a perfect side to any meat dish or as a late night snack.

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.

Lasagna Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

[4 SP per Mushroom] The portobello mushrooms are covered with a layer of marinara sauce, followed by a mixture of cottage cheese, basil and chopped spinach.  I also added an egg to help set the filling up in the mushroom. These may not look like too much, but they are tasty!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Banana Cookies

[2 SP per Cookie] You want cookies and you want them to be filled with chocolate chips….but you also want peanut butter too? Well too bad....kidding. These chocolate peanut butter chip banana cookies are so tasty... the texture is a mixture of a soft and chewy cookie due to the banana and that might not be for everyone but the taste is decadent and they are bursting with lots of chocolate & peanut butter chips. These cookies are also egg free. 2 SP each.

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.
