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!

On one of my trips to the Middle East, I discovered the amazing concept of salads that don’t involve lettuce. They are so different from the American concept of traditional salads, and they are WAY healthier and yummier! Consisting of a vast variety of different vegetables, Middle Eastern Salads are a real treat to the palate and to the waistline! One of my favorites, is this Turkish Salad Recipe. It is LOADED with fabulous flavor, but also with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. If you are looking for delicious and healthy weight watcher salad recipes, you must give this Turkish Salad a try! With just a 3 point value for half of the recipe, this low calorie salad recipe is a great way to get in your vegetable servings and have a delicious salad that will actually fill you up, because the serving size is huge!!! Though this isn’t an official Weight Watchers Salad Recipe, it’s still a great dish for anyone watching their weight or trying to eat healthier. It also makes a wonderful side dish to serve with just about any chicken, fish or beef meal. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 1 large onion
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 large tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp. sliced or pitted, chopped green olives
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 Tbsp. tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp. parley or coriander leaf
- Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste

Directions:
Peel and dice the onions. Fry them in the olive oil till golden: use a medium-sized pan or a large frying pan. Remove the stem, seeds and white inner membrane from all the peppers. Chop into dice. Add them to the onions. Cover the pan and cook the vegetables till the peppers are soft – about 8 minutes. Stir once or twice. Dice the tomatoes. If necessary, pit and slice the olives. Add all of these to the pan. Add the bay leaf, black pepper, cumin, salt, and tomato paste. If you like, add Tabasco or chili of choice. Cover the pan again and cook the vegetables over a medium flame for about 15 minutes. Some want the vegetables to retain their individual forms and tastes (I do). Others like to blend their Turkish Salad and serve it as a dip. This is totally up to you. For an aesthetic touch, chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Serve hot or cold.

Another Fabulous Food Finds Friday is here, and today, I want to tell you about an amazingly yummy pasta that has only 3 Weight Watchers Points per 2oz serving (which is at least 1 Weight Watchers Point less than all other pasta). It’s Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta! Ronzoni Smart Taste is a new member of the New World Pasta family of brands. What’s so special about it? Read on to learn more!

Weight Watchers Low Calorie, High Fiber Pasta

This is the first white pasta to be enriched with fiber and calcium-and lots of it. Three times the fiber and calcium equal to an eight-ounce glass of milk. Studies show that many diets are lacking in these two important nutrients. Plus, Smart Taste is lower in calories and fat than traditional pasta. That means Smart Taste has the same great taste of pasta that you and your family love but with greater nutritional value. This low calorie pasta is super high in fiber – it packs in 6 grams per serving!! But here’s the best part — it tastes EXACTLY like regular pasta!! And with just 3 Weight Watchers Points per 2 oz serving, it’s definitely lower in Points than regular white pasta, so if eating the whole wheat pasta isn’t really your thing, Smart Taste will knock your socks off. So rather than eating the empty calorie white pasta, give this one a try. The noodles come in many traditional pasta shapes, so you can incorporate it a lot of Weight Watchers Recipes!
