Weight Watcher’s Warm Beer and Cheese Fondue

My family and I are heading to my sister's in Switzerland soon, which explains why I haven't been writing much on my blogs. The amount of preparation, planning, packing and purchasing has been overwhelming.

So off to Switzerland we go in search of chocolate and cheese. (With a brief stop London for some bangers and mash or maybe beans on toast.) And who says you can't do fondue if you're doing Weight Watchers? This recipe has only 2 Points per serving!

• 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
• 1 pound low-fat cheddar or colby cheese, shredded

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm beer until it boils; stir in mustard and pepper.
