Weight Watchers Tried and True Recipes

[JillyBug]

Blueberry Muffins - 3 points

1 3/4 cup flour
6 Tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites -- slightly beaten
3/4 cup skim milk
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup blueberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, vanilla and oil. Add egg mixture, all at once, to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened. The batter will be lumpy. Stirring all the lumps out will make a tough muffin. Carefully fold in the blueberries.

PAM muffin cups or line with baking paper cups; fill each 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans.

These are great warm or for breakfast the next day at room temperature. You can use fresh or frozen blue berries.

I just joined with WW last week and I'm glad that I still can eat delicious foods and try cool recipes that you guys posted. Thank you for sharing..

[mews]

I did well on low carb but missed the fruit etc. so starting the Weight watchers. I am using the original books and counting points.

[Amandy]

What a great thread. Thanks all for the recipes.

I do not do low carb, although I do watch carbs and focus more on protein.

This is a wonderful recipe collection.

Hi All! Newbie here. I'm April. i am a home daycare provider, GS Troop Leader, & Mother of 2. I did weight watchers a few years ago and lost 21 lbs. i have gained that back plus some since then My Dh and I are starting weight watchers today. We have to do it on our own this time since I work 18 hr days, 7 days a week. No time for a meeting....
I have been reading your recipes and posts and I think Im gonna LOVE it here!
I was wondering if anyone is a current ww member and has access to the online recipe builder? I have this GREAT chicken chili recipe i made up while on ww and want to recheck the points and share it with you. I think it was 4 pts for 2 cups but I want to be sure. If anyone is willing to do it for me let me know I'll post the recipe.
If not, i'll subrcibe for 1 month.... it is so worth it!
TTYS,

Hello! Does anyone have any good WW cookie recipes?

[kimlou]

Also, in earlier post there was some reference to BCB... what is it? Due to TOS rules you might want to PM me w/te info?

[sjl330]

I think that stands for Boot Camp Buddies. It's another support site for WW'ers.

[DawnH]

Ok I have a couple recipes that I have gotten at my weight watchers meetings.

Hash Brown Soup
28oz Fat Free, Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1.32 oz Country Gravy Mix
3 cups Ore Ida Hashbrowns with green peppers and onions
1/2 cup water

Boil broth and hashbrowns. Simmer for 15 mins. Mix water with gravy mix and add to hashbrown mixture. Simmer 10 mins until it thickens. Add vegs for additional flavor. 1 cup=2 points

This is delicious! Even my teenager loved it!

Servings | 8
Preparation Time | 20 min
Cooking Time | 60 min
Level of Difficulty | Moderate

• 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp table salt

• 1 Tbsp water, at room temperature
  
  For the crumble
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/3 cup(s) rolled oats
• 5 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp sugar

Instructions

• Place oven rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
• To make crust, combine flour, sugar and salt in bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade; whiz to combine. Scatter butter over flour mixture; pulse until dough resembles coarse meal. Slowly add water, adding another tablespoon if needed, until dough comes together. Place dough in prepared pan and press dough up sides and around bottom to form a crust; prick bottom of crust with a fork 5 or 6 times.
• To make filling, combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and toss gently to combine; evenly spread filling over crust.
• To make crumble, in small saucepan, melt butter. Add oats, flour and sugar; stir to combine and scatter over apples.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350ºF and continue baking until crust and crumble are golden and apples are juicy, about 30 to 40 minutes. If pie crust or crumble is getting too dark, cover with foil for last 20 minutes of baking. Let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces and serving. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Notes
*Use a variety of apples such as McIntosh, Granny Smith and Jonagold.

If you like your apple filling a bit saucier, bake for an additional 10 minutes.

you cut the cake into.

place chix breast and salsa in crock pot cook on low over night
take out breast and make gravy in crock pot on high
add breast back in, make rice or potatoes (on stove top) then serve
