Don't get sick of WW posts

I'm trying to get my original recipes posted - so here are a few.



TUNA EGG MELT
Pat and I both love this. This is 2 servings.

2 - 3 pt sandwich rounds
Foil pkg of tuna in water
2 hard boiled eggs
2 wedges laughing cow cheese
2 TBS of chopped celery and onion
Salt, pepper, dill

Open sandwich rounds and put face up on baking sheet. Spread 1/2 a wedge of cheese on each.

Mix rest of ingredients and spread on each.
Broil until edges are brown.

2 rounds - 6 pts

DRAGON FRUIT SALAD


I saw this on Pinterest. It's beautiful. The dragon fruit is sweet and tasteless, but it gives it beauty and character.

Added watermelon,  blueberries, mango and drizzled with Waden Farms Raspberry Vinaigrette. 0 pts

2 Smart Points Potato Salad

When I saw homemade potato salad was 6 points for a half a cup I almost cried. I love potato salad! I started writing out a recipe and knew I could improve it. I knew I would use my new favorite dressing - 0 points. But... it is quite sweet. I needed something to cut through it.  I thought about vinegar or lemon but didn't want those tastes.


Greek Yogurt!

I figured the more free vegetables I put in the salad the more I could eat.

5 Potatoes
3 hard boiled eggs
1 cup celery
1/2 cup onion
1 1/2 cups cucumber 
1/2 cup green pepper

Cut up everything.
Salt, Pepper, Mrs. Dash, Dill over all.

Mix 1 container Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup dressing. Sprinkle in dill. Mix into salad.

It made 8 cups. 2 Freestyle Smart Pts. Per cup. Yum!
Pat loved it too!

Weight Watchers

So far it's been pretty easy. I have lots of points because I have so much to lose. The smartpoints are the best. Most fruits and vegetables are free.

These are my amazing go to foods:


So many flavors - yum
Portion depends on how many points I have to eat at the end of the night



POINT FREE!
Instead of mayonnaise in egg salad
With a little vinegar on cucumbers
I'm going to try potato salad


Breakfast many mornings
Watermelon, fresh mint, Goat cheese

A handful anytime
