Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast Cookies
Breakfast Cookies My twin sister and I have been trying to recreate Weight Watchers friendly breakfast cookies after we bought Baker’s Breakfast Cookies nearly 25 years ago.  While these aren’t exactly it, it’s the closest I’ve gotten to a good breakfast cookie that doesn’t blow your Weight Watchers budget.  Each cookie is only 2 Weight Watchers points! Trying to reduce the WW points in a...

Easy Waffle Recipe

Easy Waffle Recipe
Easy Waffle Recipe Growing up I don’t remember having waffles.  But if my mom had this easy waffle recipe maybe that would have been a different story!  Maybe a waffle maker was too expensive, or just another gadget that wouldn’t fit in our tiny kitchen.  My twin sister Jennifer eats waffles at least three times a week.  For me they are a once a month...

Cold Brew Coffee Cookies

Cold Brew Coffee Cookies
Cold Brew Coffee Cookies The moment I tried the Caramel Cold Brew M&M’s, I knew I had to turn that flavor into a cookie. The rich caramel notes paired with the bold coffee taste instantly reminded me of my favorite iced coffee, and I wanted to capture that balance in a soft, chewy cookie.  Yes, these cookies are 9 Weight Watchers points each, but around...

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo Chicken Dip My love of anything buffalo started a long time ago.  And this buffalo chicken dip is everything.  Cheesy, buffalo forward, but not too much because Hannah can eat it.  And while the whole recipe is 35 WW points, its 4 Weight Watchers points for 1/3 cup.  Leftovers can also be used to stuff twice baked potatoes, or rolled into taquitos, or a...

Weight Watchers Chipotle Bowl

Weight Watchers Chipotle Bowl
Weight Watchers Chipotle Bowl While most of the items at Chipotle are pretty healthy, it’s so much cheaper to make a Weight Watchers Chipotle Bowl at home.  Using pantry ingredients like canned black beans and corn, this is a super economical way to get your Chipotle fix.  The last time I went to Chipotle my bowl cost $13.  My home version?  Around $4.  Winning! Ingredients...

Crispy Zucchini Fries

Crispy Zucchini Fries
Crispy Zucchini Fries As of the date of this publication, I realize that potatoes are zero points and you can make zero Weight Watchers point fries, but fun fact:  I love zucchini as much or more than I do potatoes!  These crispy zucchini fries are crunchy, taste great even at room temperature and the zero point tzatziki sauce recipe below is the perfect dipping sauce. ...

Loaded with protein and fiber, this recipe hits all the flavor...

Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake

Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake
Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake This is the best, impromptu ham and cheese croissant bake, period. It’s simple, delicious, filling, and meal prep friendly. Hannah here – I’m in a calorie deficit and when I ran to Aldi the other day, these mini croissants caught my eye. I was looking for weekend brunch inspiration and knew exactly what I wanted to make with their mini...
