Last month, a friend held his annual bacon party. It’s a baconpolooza of a baconfest where each guest brings a bacon-themed dish to share. Dishes are sampled, everyone votes on their favorite bacon dishes, and we all limp home clutching our tummies at the end of the night. One couple brought vegan Bacon Caramel Popcorn. Another [...]

I love yogurt! Greek, plain, non-fat – it’s all good to me in everything from breakfast dishes to healthy party dips. Besides the taste, I love it because there are only two Weight Watchers POINTS in one cup of plain, non-fat yogurt. Plus, it’s full of protein, too! When I have the time, I like [...]

Wanting something tasty and easy to grill, we chose to grill up some carne asada and mahi mahi fish to serve along with taco fixings. My brother-in-law Mark emailed us his carne asada recipe. [...]
Every year at Super Bowl time, I say I’m going to make something simple so I can watch the game. And every year I get very ambitious and find myself in the kitchen missing wardrobe malfunctions and stupid GoDaddy.com commercials. This year’s going to be different. Really. I’m going to make food ahead of time. [...]
How dare you think I’d leave my fellow Weight Watchers in a lurch on Super Bowl Sunday! Below is a Weight Watchers recipe for New England clam chowder. They managed to get the usual recipe down from 8 points to 5 per 1 1/2 cup serving by using no-fat milk instead of cream and turkey [...]
Having company or family over for Christmas is stressful enough without having to spend the whole day in the kitchen roasting a turkey and preparing elaborate side dishes.
