In order to bring you these new, helpful tools, I’ve partnered with ZipList. They are the superstars responsible for powering the online recipe boxes and shopping lists that you’ll see on many of the web’s biggest cooking sites and blogs, including MarthaStewart.com, The Joy of Baking and The Daily Meal.

So here’s how the new Recipe Box feature works: Once you create your free online recipe box with ZipList (yes, I swear, it’s totally free), you can start saving your recipes and shopping lists right away. And you can access your recipe box and shopping list from LaaLoosh, from ZipList.com, and from their free mobile apps so you have what you need on hand in order to plan your meals and grocery shop wherever you go. These features will help make it easy for you to keep all your favorite Weight Watchers recipes organized and easy to find. With the ability to have all your favorite recipes in one place, plan your menus, and add the items you need for those recipes to your shopping list with just a few clicks, healthy cooking should be a breeze!

Additionally, you’ll see that I’ve also added a Pinterest button at the end of each recipe. This tool helps you quickly pin your favorite recipes to your boards and share them with your followers. If you aren’t familiar with Pinterest, go and check it out asap. But be careful — it’s addicting!!

I’m really looking forward to hearing what you all think about these new features, and I hope it helps make your cooking/shopping/recipe planning a little easier :).
Thanks to all of you for your helpful suggestions and input, and here’s to a happy and healthy 2012!!!

Congrats, Lorraine! Enjoy your new electric brownie maker and enjoy making cute, portion controlled brownies. Thank you all again for entering, and stay tuned to the blog for more delicious Weight Watchers Recipes coming soon to help us get on track for the new year!

Do you ever find yourself making the most delicious brownie batter, only to have them look wonky when you cut them out of the pan? Well I do. And I hate the painstaking task of trying to cut them all cute and pretty. So, with Thanksgiving fast approaching, and to continue expressing my gratitude to all of my loyal readers, up next is a giveaway for a new Bella Brownie Maker! The perfect brownie is yours in only a matter of minutes—just pour the batter, insert the divider and watch as this master of desserts bakes your goodies faster than a traditional oven. The easy-to-use design includes a nonstick baking plate for fast cleanup. It’s a great tool for making healthy, low calorie brownie recipes that will result in beautiful brownies that are not only Weight Watchers friendly, but aesthetically pleasing too.

Congrats, Jenn! Enjoy making healthy doughnuts, and we hope you’ll come back and share your yummy, low calorie doughnut recipes with us. Thank you all again for playing and for your sweet comments — you guys are AWESOME.

To celebrate reaching over 5,000 fans on my LaaLoosh Facebook fan page, I’m celebrating by giving away two AWESOME gifts – one this week, and one next week. The first prize up for grabs is this very cool mini doughnut maker. This do-it-all doughnut maker from Bella Cucina lets you serve up homemade mini doughnuts in no time! Baked instead of deep fried, these delicious treats are a healthier choice whenever you crave something sweet. The instruction booklet contains some yummy doughnut recipes that look so good! And they are SO much fun to decorate! If you have kids, they’ll have a blast decorating their own healthy donuts. You can get really creative and make sweet or savory donuts that are healthy and low calorie and a scrumptious snack for the whole family. This thing was so much fun, I got one for myself and am in the process of working on some tasty new Weight Watchers Doughnut Recipes that I’ll be posting about.
