Though this is not one of Weight Watchers Thanksgiving Recipes, it’s a FABULOUS stuffing recipe for anyone who needs a delicious low calorie stuffing to put on their table this year! Plus, it’s my absolute favorite Thanksgiving recipe because I LOOOOOVE stuffing and I go crazy eating this stuff every year. So I had to find a way of making a lower calorie version of my favorite Thanksgiving food. Using the basic, traditional ingredients, this Thanksgiving stuffing is really too good to be true. To create this dish, I just took my mom’s traditional stuffing recipe, and altered it with lower calorie ingredients. Using the light bread and less butter really makes a huge difference without compromising taste. It has just a 2 point value for a 1/1/2 cup serving! Not bad!! so you can still enjoy all the fabulous flavors of Thanksgiving without sacrificing that diet plan you’ve been working so hard on all year. And it’s so yummy, you may just find yourself making this dish for non Thanksgiving Dinners too! Enjoy.

Low Calorie Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe

Ingredients:
- 8 slices light bread (I used Weight Watchers bread)
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 1/2 cup chopped celery
- ¼ cup granny smith apples (finely chopped with skin on)
- 1/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp fresh sage
- 2 tbsp. light butter (I used Brummel & Brown)
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Start by drying out your bread. You can either do this by toasting in the oven, or by leaving the bread sit out at room temperature overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a medium pot, combine chicken broth, onions, celery, apples, butter, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and sage. Cook for about 15 minutes over medium heat. Mean while, break up your bread into small ½” pieces by chopping or just breaking apart with your hands. Put bread into a large oven safe dish.

When broth mixture is ready, slowly pour onto bread, making sure to cover all the pieces. Next, mix in the egg substitute and make sure to cover all pieces. If bread cubes do not seem wet enough (they should be moist, but not saturated), add a tbsp or two of warm water until appropriate texture is reached. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Cover dish with foil and transfer to over. Cook for about 25 minutes. Then, take out stuffing, mix it around and fluff it a bit and put back in the oven, uncovered for about another 15 minutes. Enjoy!

With all the food filled holidays just around the corner, it’s time to start stocking up your arsenal of delicious, yet low calorie Weight Watchers Thanksgiving Recipes and Weight Watchers Christmas Recipes. And with Thanksgiving being the first in the lineup, we’ve got one tough holiday feast to conquer! And this delicious Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Recipe is a great dish to add to your lineup of low calorie Thanksgiving recipes! Creamy and delicious, this dessert recipe uses a light graham cracker crust instead of the traditional pie crust recipe. In my opinion, I think it actually tastes better and it helps us cut a lot of calories and Weight Watchers Points from this dish.

Low Calorie Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 4 oz reduced-fat cinnamon graham crackers
- 2 Tbsp light butter, melted (I suggest Brummel and Brown)
- 2 large egg white
- 1 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp light Pancake Syrup (I used Aunt Jemima Butter Light Syrup)

For the pie filling:
- 1 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp light Pancake Syrup (I used Aunt Jemima Butter Light Syrup)
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- Top with a dollop of Fat-Free Reddi-Whip whipped cream

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor, combine graham crackers and light brown sugar, and process into fine crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and the melted butter, and pancake syrup, and mix with hands. Then transfer to an ungreased 9” pie pan, and distribute crust mixture evenly, pressing it against the pan with your hands. Put in the fridge and chill for 40 minutes. Then, bake about 8-10 minutes, or until the pie crust starts to turn that yummy golden brown.

In a large bowl, whip egg whites into a soft peak, using an electric mixer. Fold in remaining ingredients (except the whipped cream). Beat the mixture until smooth, creamy and lump free, and pour into your pie shell. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut into 8 even slices and top with a nice dollop of the Fat Free Whipped Cream. Enjoy!

Ok, so I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but my husband and I just moved, and that was a LOT of work. And doing that while trying to take care of a 6 month old was incredibly time consuming. So posting (or doing anything else for that matter) was out of the question.

Anyway, excuses aside, I’m doing my best to get back on track with a tasty and healthy salad dressing recipe that is loaded with antioxidants and yet low in Weight Watchers Points! Our friends over at POM Wonderful sent us some samples of their fabulously delicious POM juice to try out. The juice by itself is really really yummy, but a small, 8oz bottle of it is about 4 Weight Watchers Points. A bit too many Points to spend on a beverage, in my opinion. So, I decided to experiment with it, and I found lots of ways to incorporate POM Juice into some Weight Watchers Recipes, while still keeping the recipes low in Points. Pomegranate Juice is so incredibly good for you – it’s health benefits are endless. And it tastes pretty amazing too! POM Juice is actually grown and manufactured in California where it’s hand-picked and squeezed into bottles that are even manufactured by POM too. Other brands are made with juice from Iran and Turkey, and were shown to contain added sugar, colorants and other low-grade filler juices, despite being labeled as “100% Pomegranate Juice”.

With that being said, the benefits that Pomegranate Juice has to offer are countless — cardiovascular health, prostate health, erectile function….and the list goes on. It’s super high antioxidant potency is a major benefit too. So finding ways to add some POM Juice into your diet is a great idea! And this delicious, low calorie vinaigrette recipe is a great way to get started!

Thanks to our friends over at POM Wonderful for introducing us to the rockin’ taste of fresh POM Juice!!

POM Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate
Juice
- 1/3 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful
Pomegranate (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
– 1/3 cup red or white wine vinegar
– 2 tablespoons grated red or brown onion
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions:
Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate underwater to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup of the arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.) In a screw-top jar or plastic container with tight-fitting lid, combine juice, the 1/3 cup arils and remaining dressing ingredients. Cover and shake well. Set aside or refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
