Today is Fabulous Food Find Friday, and I wanted to share with all of you a fabulous, low calorie peanut butter substitute! Now, for those of you who are serious Weight Watchers foodies, you probably are already aware of this monstrously delicious PB alternative. BUT, as one of my readers so graciously reminded me last week (thanks, Leah!) not everyone may be aware that this product exists. So, I figured it’s definitely worth a blog post, because if you are a peanut butter lover and also a weight watcher who rarely indulges in PB because of the super high Points value, then this may seriously be the best Friday of your life. Wanna know what this product is?!?!?? Well, keep reading, folks!

The perfect low calorie snack idea to serve at a kids’ party, as an after dinner dessert or as an anytime snack, these gourmet pretzel rods are fabulous!

Make a batch of these to have on reserve any time you are looking for weight watchers’ friendly treat.

I am pretty much obsessed with any type of bread – I totally adore this carbtastic treat. And being a weight watcher, I had to just accept this fact and do my best to create weight watchers recipes that involved bread and were still low in points. And when I tried this Baked Croutons Recipe, I was absolutely thrilled!! I have always loved croutons and really feel that they make a salad so much more yummy and satisfying. But store bought croutons aren’t always weight watcher friendly. So, using some low calorie bread, I decided to make my own. And I must say, they turned out SO good, I will never go back to regular croutons again! This homemade croutons recipe is not only amazingly delicious, but it’s full of fiber and has just a 1 Point Total per serving!! Truly the perfect salad topping. If you are a carb lover – this recipe is a MUST try.

Sorry for the delay on the posting of new recipes, folks! For the past week, I’ve been having Internet connection issues (gotta love AT &T). And I think it’s resolved….at least for now. So while I’ve got my connection, on with today’s post!!
Now that summer is in full swing, it seems like there are pool parties, BBQ’s, birthday parties, picnics, and endless opportunities for good eats. In my quest to stay on track with my Weight Watchers goals, I always offer to bring a side dish that I can make and keep low in Points. It’s my go to dish that I can count on so that I know exactly how many Points I’m eating. Well, one of my all time favorite summer BBQ recipes is this fabulously low calorie potato salad. Each 3/4 cup serving has just a 2 Point Total!! Which is great because I almost never have 3/4 cup of anything, which is how I got myself into Weight Watchers to begin with! So I can have 2 servings for just a 5 Point Total – it’s so good, I feel like I’ve indulged, but in actuality, 5 Points isn’t so bad to spend on a very nice sized serving of potato salad. What I also love about this popular side dish recipe, is that it tastes GREAT!! So even the non Weight Watchers eating it will enjoy it. Though this isn’t an official Weight Watchers Potato Salad Recipe, anyone watching what they eat will definitely appreciate this one. Dig in!!
