For a versatile dish that can be used a main dish, side dish, dinner or healthy lunch idea, this Tuna and Pasta Salad Recipe with Roasted Red Peppers and a Goat Cheese sauce is delicious!!! Super easy to make, but the taste is gourmet. Each serving has just 7 Points +, and all the fiber & protein makes it a very satisfying dish. Plus, the combo of the goat cheese and red peppers just works so well together! Though this is not an official one of Weight Watchers Tuna Recipes, it’s a wonderful family meal idea for anytime. It was such a hit at home, I’m planning on doubling the recipe and taking it to a potluck this weekend!

And with this tasty apricot glaze, the flavor is perfectly enhanced without adding a lot of extra calories. The key ingredient in this dish is the espresso, which gives a nice edge to the pork, and balances out the sweetness of the apricot. And each serving is just 5 Points +! Try serving with a low calorie salad or some roasted vegetables recipes to fill up your plate and your tummy, but not your Weight Watchers Points Plus balance. Enjoy! Mar 24 2011 Egg Salad Recipe – 4 Points +
photo credit: chezus.com Some of the feedback that I heard from many of you was about wanting to see some healthy lunch recipes for kids, so the one that I want to share today is my so tasty it’s too good to be true Egg Salad Recipe. By simply reducing the mayo and amount of egg yolks that are in traditional egg salad recipes, and adding in some extra flavor, I transformed this typically fattening dish that is not only low in WW Points + for you, but healthy and delicious for your kids. Serve it up over a bed of fresh greens, fresh tomato slices, or as my 2-yr old likes it – over mini whole grain toast slices. The entire recipe is just 4 Points +!! Do you realize that this means you can sit down and eat the WHOLE bowl and not feel an ounce of guilt? Yeah, I’m loving that aspect. Enjoy!
photo credit: fine cooking I have been having a serious love affair with my panini press this past weekend. After getting inspired by some deliciously fattening panini recipes I found at Fine Cooking.com, I spent a lot of time playing around with some ingredients and coming up with some lower calorie versions of yummy new WW Sandwich Recipes! My husband didn’t mind the affair because he got to chow down on all my “experiments”. One of my favorites was the Turkey and Provolone Panini with a Chipotle Mayo Dressing. OMG, just thinking about that sandwich again right now has me getting all hot and bothered…. The key was keeping all the ingredients as light and low calorie as I could so that I could splurge a bit on the dressing, because really, who doesn’t like mayo? I also used a bit of nonfat plain Greek yogurt in the dressing mix so that I could bulk up the amount that I used ( I LOVE a LOT of dressing) without cranking up the calories and fat like mayo does. The end result was this delicious, low calorie panini recipe that would make a great dinner or healthy hot lunch idea! Enjoy!
