Another Fabulous Food Finds Friday has arrived, and here’s what’s new on grocer’s shelves for us weight watchers: Kraft Singles Meltdowns Cheese! These are individually wrapped American cheese slices that come in 3 yummy flavors (Pizza, Nacho and Taco) and have been formulated to melt more easily. They can be melted on bagels, tortilla chips, tortillas and pitas, in order to create instant pizza, nachos and quesadillas. Though processed cheese isn’t as yummy as fresh, real cheese, this is still a great portion controlled way to make some skinnier versions of your favorite foods. It’s much easier than trying to measure out shredded cheese, and it does melt pretty well in the microwave. So it’s great to have on hand to quickly prepare one of weight watchers snack recipes. Want some ideas for tasty and low calorie snacks using new Kraft Singles Meltdowns? Read on!

Inspired by Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, I decided to put a weight watchers spin on one of his yummy and healthy spaghetti recipes. It turned out delicious! My family gobbled it down and had no idea that they were eating something so good for them. With just a 4 Point Total per serving, this classic spaghetti recipe gets a healthy makeover and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. It’s a really easy recipe that I was able to slim down pretty easily without sacrificing any taste. One of my secret weapons is the pasta noodles. A while back I blogged about Ronzoni’s Smart Taste Pasta. I really love this stuff, and so does my family. It allows me the luxury to eat low Points pasta that actually tastes amazingly good and just like good ol’ carb heavy white pasta. It’s loaded with fiber and calcium and has just a 3 Point Total per serving! Good for me and good for my family. If you haven’t tried this pasta yet, get your butts to the grocery store and pick some up ASAP! Put it to use in this low points spaghetti recipe and enjoy!

Thanks Jamie Oliver!!
