Well, Trader Joe’s does it again….another Fabulous Food Find hails from good ol’ reliable TJ’s. Their Organic Reduced Guilt Tortilla Chips have just 3 PointsPlus for about 14 chips. Now, I know that there are a lot of low fat tortilla chips out there with some great nutritional stats, but none taste quite as good as these. Plus they are organic! And while they are 40% lower in fat than most regular tortilla chips, they still pack great flavor and crunch. Feb 09 2011 Healthy Szechuan Chicken Recipe – 6 Points +
photo credit: ifood.tv So now that I am (mostly) recovered from the Steelers’ loss this Sunday, I’m back on board with my Weight Watchers menu ideas, and have a delicious WW Chinese Food Recipe to share today. This Healthy Szechuan Chicken, has just 6 Points + for a very full, 1 cup serving, and makes a great dinner idea for any Weight Watcher who is craving Chinese food. Simply by making a few healthy changes to a traditional Szechuan Chicken Recipe, I was able to come up with a healthier version, lower in fat and calories, but full of fiber, protein and heart healthy fats. This dish leaves out NONE of the flavors and will most likely fool anyone into thinking you just picked this up from your favorite Chinese food joint. If you love Chinese fast food recipes, you must try this dish! Feb 03 2011 Roasted Corn Salsa Recipe – 4 Points +
This year, don’t be the one who puts out that crappy, jarred salsa at your Super Bowl Party….instead, try this quick and easy Roasted Corn Salsa Recipe. It’s colorful, amazingly flavorful, and definitely a change of pace. Granted, corn is the base for this salsa, so it will have some calories and carbs, but for just 4 Points +, you get a HUGE, heaping, full cup serving! Sometimes, I just forgo the chips and eat this by itself as a side salad. My husband LOVES it. It’s so easy to make, and it’s so much more flavorful and impressive than typical salsas. This is one more WW Super Bowl Recipe that should make it to your table this year! Feb 02 2011 WW Super Bowl Recipes with Points + Values!

So in honor of the big day, I’ve put together a list of my all time favorite Super Bowl Recipes with the Points + Values! Many of you have written in and asked about getting a few of these popular Super Bowl Recipes revised with the new Points + Values, and so I figured, what better time than right now? Hope you’re hungry people, because just putting together this list has me salivating… Feb 01 2011 Chile Con Queso Recipe – 1 Points +
photo credit: cooking weekends When it comes to Chile Con Queso, I don’t even need anything to dip with….just gimme a spoon!! But traditional Chile Con Queso Recipes are very high in fat and calories, making them a big no-no in my house. Because, really, I cannot stop after just a dip or two, and therefore, my Weight Watchers goals would be ruined. So after experimenting with a few of my favorites, I created this slimmed down version that has just 1 Points + for 1/4 cup!!! NOT bad, people!! Serve it up with 0 Points + veggies or reduced fat tortilla chips for a fabulous snack. And if you want to add a great dip to your list of Super Bowl Dip Recipes, this one is a must. It was such a hit this weekend with my family, that I’m going to double the recipe for Super Bowl Sunday! Enjoy! If you are looking for a manly, meaty, but still Weight Watchers friendly, Super Bowl Recipe, then this Beer Braised Brisket with Chili Sauce Recipe is it!! LOADED with flavor…tang and heat, it’s hard to believe that it’s just 6 Points + per serving. The meat is SO tender and juicy, and the sauce is amazingly yummy. Plus, if you are fortunate enough to have any leftover, it heats up really well the next day! By making a few changes and substitutions, I took a couple of traditional brisket recipes and made them a lot more feasible for those of us who want to indulge on Super Bowl Sunday, but not feel hungover with regret on Monday morning. This low Points + Super Bowl Recipe would be an amazing addition to your party feast. Enjoy!
