All Recipes

I usually write recipes down while I am on the train ride home from work.  I write them in the WW app, switching up things to get them sometimes to a point value that I like.  I kind of go through the motions of making the recipe in my head, and of course, it always comes out perfect in my head!  Duh. I knew I...

These banana tumeric muffins are so good - 5 smart points and worth every point!

I made the ultimate breakfast pizza!  You all know how much I love my pizza.  I am thrilled that so many people are loving my skinny pizza dough – it’s just a few additional ingredients to the @ww 2 ingredient dough that’s been going around the interwebs since Greek yogurt is “free” on their new Wellness Works program.   One of my Instagram friends Wendy (wwg4life)...

Apple strudel.  This apple strudel with cream cheese filling and glaze completely cured my jones for apple coffee cake.  I know, those are two completely different things, but on Sunday morning I legit almost made an apple coffee cake with two sticks of butter. But I remembered that I have goals and I am going to crush this last quarter of 2018.  Guess what –...

Homemade Sopes Recipe I’ve never made homemade sopes before.  But that’s what happens when you meal plan with what you have on hand.  I’ve had a bag of masa in my pantry for a while.  I just googled “what to make with masa” and sopes popped up.  A lot of recipes called for adding lard to the batter, or butter.  Masa is simply corn flour. ...

Delicata Squash Gnocchi This delicata squash gnocchi was first posted in 2018.  The food photography was just okay, and I’ve updated the recipe by using store bought hash browns for the potato mixture and it worked out perfectly!  Even if you’ve never made homemade gnocchi, you can make this.  This squash is zero Weight Watchers points and available from late summer through Thanksgiving. Here are...

Apple Coffee Cake Muffins I made muffins over the weekend. Not just any muffins – apple coffee cake muffins!  OMG, these are hands down the best muffins I have ever made.  They taste just like coffee cake to me.  And each one is only 6 Weight Watchers points and 191 calories.  UPDATE!  This recipe was originally written in 2019, using an outdated recipe card.  So...

Copycat Starbucks Vanilla Bean Scones Recipe This copycat Starbucks Vanilla Bean scones recipe will be your go to recipe when making scones. My daughter and her husband are obsessed with Starbucks and typically go at least once, if not twice a day.   They love the vanilla bean scones. Hannah texted me and said “Iowa Girl Eats has a good looking recipe.” I’ve “known” Kristin for...

My friend Jenn from my Weight Watchers meeting was meeting her family downtown and we rode the train down together.  It was nice having company on the train ride in yesterday – made the hour trip go by really fast!  My sister Jenn was home sick yesterday and didn’t listen to my Instagram stories until later in the day, and when she heard “the Biz...

These low point banana muffins are still low in points as of 2023!  Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual for me eat a giant Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffin with a giant Dr. Pepper on my way to work.  In case anyone is counting WW points – that would be 18 points for just the muffin – and that was my “appetizer.”  I’d probably...
