This fabulous side dish recipe is so amazingly yummy, and yet incredibly healthy!! Each nicely sized serving of my Cauliflower & Butternut Squash Curry Recipe is just a 2 Point Total. It’s loaded with fantastic flavor and spice, is high in fiber, and still very low in calories, making it a perfectly healthy recipe for weight watchers. And I think it’s a great way to get some more veggies into your diet, while indulging in some super tasty curry sauce too! Though this isn’t an official one of Weight Watchers Side Dish Recipes, try serving it with some low calorie grilled chicken breast for an easy meal that will satisfy the whole family.

Since temperatures have been pretty high this past week, I convinced my husband to break out the grill for one last summer grilling recipe. This light and lean Grilled Flank Steak with Asparagus and Onions was a HUGE success!! I love steak, but being a Weight Watchers member, I usually avoid this dish. So I was thrilled when I came across this flank steak recipe. It’s SO flavorful, and the asparagus and onions help to bulk up the serving, so it’s actually quite satisfying. And with just a 4 Point Total per serving, this is a fabulous weight watchers steak recipe. Get those grills back out, folks!

While shopping at Trader Joe’s this morning, I was lured to the sample booth by a heavenly, enticing aroma…Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Spread, served on Cinnamon Swirl Bread. Ummm…YUMM!!!!! Both me and my 19 month old son gulped our samples down faster than you can imagine. God, it was good! But, after looking over the products that hey used to make it, this pumpkin cream cheese recipe would not have been very weight watchers friendly. So I headed home to make my own lighter version. And I was ultimately successful! Creamy and sweet and full of pumkin-y goodness, each serving is just a 2 Point Total. Serve some on top of a 1 Point Cinnamon Bagel for a FABULOUS WW snack idea! Though it’s not an official one of Weight Watchers Fall Recipes, this Cream Cheese Pumpkin Spread Recipe can be used in so many ways, I’m sure you will all just go crazy experimenting with it. Enjoy!
