Cheesecake Jars These cheesecake jars are almost no bake.  The fruit filling is my very berry sauce (recipe below) that can be made with any combination of fresh or frozen fruit.  Blueberries are my favorite, so we used blueberries in this recipe.  While these come in at 10 Weight Watchers points, each one is only 244 calories, 15 fat, 24 carbs, 2 fiber and 6...

Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies Sometimes the best way to say “I’m sorry” is with cookies. These Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies were my heartfelt peace offering to my neighbors after my dog Todd had what I can only describe as a full-on main character meltdown on our block. We were simply passing each other on the sidewalk when their tiny (but very vocal) pup started yipping...

Canned Cherry Pie Bars Some recipes, as much as I try, I cannot make them all Weight Watchers recipe friendly.  And by that I mean that most people on Weight Watchers are looking for the LOWEST point everything.  Side note:  I think I love these canned cherry pie bars more than cherry pie! However, these canned cherry pie bars are only 190 calories each, and...

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...

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...
