Tofu Masala I recently discovered Vegan Scratch Kitchen on Instagram, and I drool over most of his dishes.  When I saw that he made tofu masala it immediately went on the top of the list for things to make.  While this is 10 Weight Watchers points, each tofu serving is only 348 calories.  And I could do shots of this masala sauce! What did we...

Creamy Vegetable Soup When most people say “it’s soup season!” I am of the camp that every day is soup season.  Even if it’s 90 degrees outside.  But this creamy vegetable soup is perfect for this time of year, when the leaves are crunchy under your feet on a walk and you can slightly see your breath in the air.  Best yet, it’s under 160...

The base of this recipe is not mine.  Sarah’s Vegan Kitchen is...

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 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...
