Blender Tomato Soup Tomato soup is hands down my favorite soup.  This blender tomato soup is ZERO Weight Watchers points too! My late husband however, couldn’t stand it.  It was probably because he told me he had a date that told him she was preparing him an Italian dinner. My husband walked into the kitchen, and was horrified when he saw her warm up a...

Buffalo Shrimp Buffalo Shrimp was my late husband’s favorite dish at Hooter’s.  Which was weird because he didn’t particularly like spicy food!  My version tastes just as delicious, but only 4 WW points per serving.  Winning!
