More Weight Watcher Recipes

Garden Vegetable Soup  (Serves 4)  zero points

2/3 cup sliced Carrot
1/2 cup diced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
3 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups diced green cabbage
1/2 cup green beans
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup diced zucchini

Spray a large pot with nonstick cooking spray, heat.  Saute the carrot, onion and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.  Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt;  bring to a boil.  REduce heat, simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender.  Stir in the zucchini and heat for 3-4 minutes.  Serve hot.

Chunky Chicken Salad Sandwiches  (Serves 4)  With a thin bun this is 12 points plus  or you could also add 1 slice of reuced fat swiss cheese and it would be 14 points plus AND WORTH IT!!

1/4 cup reduced calorie mayonnaise (I use  1/2 cup Fat Free instead of half and half)
1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
2 heaping Tablespoons honey mustard
1 medium clove garlic, crushed
2 1/2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes, sliced in half and then quartered
3 Tbsp chopped pecans

Combine mayonnaise, mustard and garlic in a small bowl.  Place chicken, grapes and pecans in a larger bowl; add dressing and stir to coat.  Yields 1 cup per serving.  This will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days.

1, 2, 3 Pancake (Serves 1 or 2)  6 points plus for both pancakes if you make 2
1 packet WW oatmeal (vanilla almond is amazing)
2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
3 egg whites (I use egg beaters)

Mix and cook on a hot griddle that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Serve with sugar-free syrup.

More soon!  I have some sewing things to show you when I have more time.  TTFN!
