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!

I just put this in the Recipe builder on the WW website with the new PointsPlus values. It comes out to 3 points per serving. Hope that helps some readers. Can’t wait to use this for Valentine’s Day!
Christina, thanks for doing that. I’m finding that PointsPlus adds another POINT to most of the old Weight Watchers recipes that I’ve featured.
