<h2><u>Weight Watchers Sweet Potato Soup Recipe</u></h2>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
- 2 large sweet potatoes<br />
- 2 cups canned chicken broth, divided<br />
- 1 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine<br />
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour<br />
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger<br />

<h2><u>Weight Watchers Roasted Pork Recipe</u></h2>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
- 1 spray non fat cooking spray<br />
- 1/2 cups dried cranberries<br />
- 1/3 cups apple cider<br />
- 1 tsp canola oil<br />
- 2 medium onions or large shallots, chopped (about 1/4 cup)<br />
- 2 Tbsp fresh sage<br />
- 1 1/4 tbsp seasoned bread crumbs, coarse<br />
- 3 pounds lean pork loin, boneless roast<br />
- 1/2 cups spinach, fresh leaves</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong><br />
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat broiler pan with cooking spray and set aside.<br />
In a small bowl, combine cranberries and cider. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute; set aside.<br />
Meanwhile, heat canola oil in medium skillet over medium-low heat; cook onions and sage until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.<br />
In a large bowl, mix together bread crumbs, cranberry mixture and onion mixture.<br />
Place pork on cutting board. Cut loin in half almost, but not all the way, through. Open like a book so loin lies almost flat. Place spinach leaves over one half of loin. Place stuffing on top of spinach. “Close” the other half of loin on top of “filled” half and tie loin with cooking string to secure.<br />
Place pork on broiler pan and roast until golden and meat thermometer registers 160°F, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. Carve into 1-inch thick slices, remove string and serve. (Note: Cooking the pork on a broiler pan allows excess fat to drip away. Line the bottom of the pan with foil for easy cleanup.) </p>
<p>Makes 8 servings<br />
Each serving = 7 Weight Watchers Points</p>

<p>I am in love with mashed potatoes, like seriously IN LOVE. But being a Weight Watcher, they can take up a lot of my daily Points if I decide to indulge in them! One day after having the most awesome, yummiest garlic mashed potatoes EVER at <a href="http://www.stonefiregrill.com/SF.html"rel="nofollow" >Stonefire Grill</a>, I was determined to recreate this amazingly delicious mashed potato recipe with less fat, calories and Weight Watchers Points. And I must say, I&#8217;m pretty darn proud of myself! My version was creamy and flavorful and so incredibly tasty, I was THRILLED that each serving was only 3 Weight Watchers Points. Plus, because it has so much going on in it, you don&#8217;t need to add any gravy, which therefore adds on Points. So this is the perfect Weight Watchers holiday recipe to serve up this year. If you love mashed potatoes, but don&#8217;t want to blow your Points on an unhealthy version, give my Weight Watchers garlic Mashed Potatoes recipe a try immediately. It&#8217;s a must for your Christmas or Hanukkah dinner table!</p>
<p><span id="more-632"></span></p>
<h2><u>Weight Watchers Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe</u></h2>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
- 3 oz of red potatoes,  washed and cut into quarters, unpeeled<br />
- 1 3/4 cup chopped cauliflower (you can use frozen if you prefer)<br />
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, whole<br />
- 3 tbsp fat free sour cream<br />
- 8 squirts &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Believe It&#8217;s Not Butter&#8221; Zero Calorie Butter Spray<br />
- 2 tbsp fat free half &#038; half<br />
- 1/4 cup of fat free cheddar cheese (cubed, not shredded) *If you can&#8217;t find a block of fat free cheddar, then just go ahead and use the shredded<br />
- 1 tbsp reduced fat parmesean cheese<br />
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions<br />
- salt and pepper to taste</p>
<p>* This recipe makes one big, yummy serving that you can have all to yourself! For additional servings, simply multiply the ingredients accordingly</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong><br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil potatoes and cauliflower in a pot with water until they are soft and tender (about 20 -30 min). While they are cooking, roast your garlic cloves in the oven until softened and a bit blackened. Once your potatoes and garlic are ready, drain your potatoes/cauliflower and transfer to a large, oven safe bowl. Add in butter, sour cream, roasted garlic, chopped green onions, salt &#038; pepper, and half &#038;half, and mash together until desired texture is achieved. Then slowly fold in cheese, and it should start to melt naturally from the hot potatoes. Transfer entire bowl to oven, and let it cook for about 10-15 min or until the top starts to get crispy and golden. Enjoy!</p>
<p>Makes 1 HUGE serving<br />
Each serving = 3 Weight Watchers Points</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s another tasty holiday dessert recipe that is sure to go over very well with your dinner guests! It&#8217;s incredibly easy to make, tastes fabulous and is a great Weight Watchers Christmas Dessert to enjoy, if you are counting your Points. This apple cobbler recipe or apple streusel recipe, is great to make in lieu of an apple pie because it will save you a lot of Weight Watchers Points, but still have the same general taste as your traditional apple pie recipe. Another thing I liked about this dish was that it was SO easy to serve. Most apple cobblers, streusels or pies can get messy when served in the usual pie dish. When I made this for a dinner party, I prepared individual servings in little dessert bowls, and simply set them out for guests to grab as they mingled around. It looked so CUTE and was a unique, gourmet way of serving it. And of course, it tasted so good, no one knew that each serving of these cute little serving was so low in calories. If you are a Weight Watcher, the holidays can be tough &#8212; so give this low calorie apple streusel recipe a try this Christmas and enjoy a traditional holiday treat without all the extra fat and calories!</p>
