BOOK.MARKED.
I just bookmarked a few of these recipes, THANK YOU!!!
Everything looks awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to have to make the Watermelon Bomb on a weekend where I have more time. I’m keeping it easy for the food prep this weekend. A big ol Fruit Salad, and Some yummy Lightened up Buffalo Chicken dip, served with Celery instead of chips. SOOOOO good 🙂 have a nice weekend!
My husband is making pulled pork. We got two big pork butts (about 20 pounds total) and he smokes them for about 16 hours then lets them rest and pulls them and it is soooo, sooo good. He’s trying a new recipe this time using ground chipotle pepper so I’m looking forward to trying it.
I love your recipes!!! I have a question. I noticed some of the recipes have the old ww points values. How do you calculate them into points plus values…..thanks!
We went to the Brewers game and tailgated. We made the Cheesy Steak sandwiches on the grill served on whole wheat buns. Delish! No leftovers either.
YUM! I want to eat it all!! LOL I can’t wait to try and make all of these over time of course! 🙂 How was the movie?
Thanks for these Danica,Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day :)!
I made the Quick & Easy Slow Cooker Baked Beans for dinner tonight and they are so yummy! I actually used dried Northern beans that I soaked overnight and then cooked for a couple of hours before I added the rest of the ingredients. I also added more turkey kielbasa and made this our main dish. My guys love it! Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Janel,
As I am working on my new recipe organizer, I am calculating the new points+ values for all my recipes. If you see the nutritional information listed (which I tried to do on most recipes), then, you can calculate the points+ using that. If not, I would use Weight Watchers Recipe Builder or Caloriecount.com to calculate the nutritional stats. If you have a certain recipe in mind you’d like to know the points+ for, just let me know and I’d be glad to calculate it.
Thanks,
Danica
Hi Josie,
You know we didn’t end up seeing The Hangover 2 because people were lined up to get into the shows for the next 3 viewings – crazy, huh?! So, we saw Bridemaids instead and it was hilarious!
