I’m on big salad kick lately. Maybe it’s because it’s so hot out, I just don’t feel like eating anything else. Or maybe it’s because I’ve found such awesome low calorie salad recipes lately that I actually ENJOY eating it! Either way, I’m all about the greens. And I’ve recently come across this amazingly good low calorie Cobb Salad Recipe. Each serving has just a 5 Point Total, which is a phenomenal count, considering that a traditional cobb salad recipe can clock in at well over 20 Weight Watchers Points per serving…SCARY! So this lighter version is a real treat. And it still has all of the yummy goodness that makes a cobb salad tasty! Bacon, blue cheese, egg…mmmmm! If you love cobb salads, then this low calorie recipe is a MUST try!

Just because you are a Weight Watcher doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite foods! The trick is just learning how to prepare a healthier, lower calorie version that ends up being lower in Weight Watcher Points. One of my readers requested a delicious Weight Watchers Fried Chicken Recipe, and after looking around and experimenting a bit in the kitchen, I have finally found this super crispy and yummy Southern Style Oven Fried Chicken Recipe that’ll knock your socks off! The crust is so deliciously yummy and savory and the chicken is so tender and juicy, no one will suspect that this is actually a low calorie fried chicken recipe! By making a few adjustments in the traditional fried chicken recipes, I was able to take this American favorite and turn it from an average of 11 Weight Watchers Points per serving to just 4 Weight Watcher Points, simply by eliminating the chicken skin and the oil – and this chicken is SO good, you won’t miss ‘em! The chicken is actually “oven-fried”, so that will save you a TON of calories, but without sacrificing the taste. And I’ve added a few tricks into the recipe to still make you feel like you are eating a “bad” food, so you can enjoy it :). This Weight Watchers Southern Fried Chicken Recipe is one of the Weight Watchers Recipes that will be a staple in your meal plan for a long time to come!

When you are in a pinch to make a tasty meal with little prep time, Crock Pot Recipes are the way to go! They are so fast and easy, and taste so amazingly moist and delicious. This Crock Pot Chicken Parisienne Weight Watchers Recipe is one of my all time favorites! The white wine adds such incredible flavor to the dish and makes it taste so gourmet.

I like to prepare this dish and then serve it over top of some Miracle Noodle Fettucine Noodles, which add 0 Points because it’s a 0 calorie pasta! So it provides a great way to bulk up the dish without adding on any extra Points! Besides, that Parisienne Sauce is just too good to waste!!
