Roasted Double Garlic Hummus (2 WW Points+)

July 10, 2014 Nicole

I love hummus so it’s hard pressed for me to find one that I don’t like but I must admit this take the top for me. I love the roasted garlic! Boy do I love it. Although I only put two pods of garlic in this hummus which made it awesome I think next time I will add even more. Because the garlic is roasted the flavor is mild and sweet.

This recipe is 2 Points if you are following Weight Watchers and if you are not that means you are lucky and can have as much as you like!!

Ingredients:

2 cups canned chick-peas
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup warm water
2 large head of garlic
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F Cut off the very top of the garlic clove so that the tops of most of the cloves are exposed slightly. Coat with a little olive oil and wrap securely in tin foil. Roast garlic in oven for 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of each pod and put into a food processor.
Rinse and drain chickpeas then add them, and all other ingredients, to the food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Add more water as needed until you reach your desired consistency.

Triple Berry Dump (4 WW Points+)

July 8, 2014 Nicole

This recipe is AMAZING! I mean amazing! I can’t tell you just how much everyone loved this cake. It’s absurdly ridiculous how easy it is to make and what a great outcome it has. Now don’t get me wrong it’s not a pretty cake but it makes up for it in low Weight Watchers and the flavor. Oh my goodness! This is a quick and easy cake you brag about.

It’s also very adaptable. You can use any fruit, and any flavor of cake. I would suggest something neutral if you are using fruit but you could do a cinnamon cake with apples, or a chocolate cake with dark cherries. Just about anything is a go here!!

Oh most importantly it’s 4 weight watchers points when you divide the cake into 12 pieces! It’s easiest to this this once the cake has cooled!

Ingredients:

1 can diet sprite/7-up
1 box Golden Vanilla Cake Mix (Should be 160 calories per serving)
¾ cup sliced hulled strawberries –Frozen
½ cup pitted cherries –Frozen
½ cup blueberries –Frozen
½ tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 packets Truvia
Butter Spray or Cooking Spray

Ingredients:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
To a 9×13 baking dish spray with cooking spray then add all frozen berries. Make sure to disperse them equally around the pan mixing up berries so that each slice will have a little bit of each type of berry.
Next sprinkle Truvia over berries equally
Cover berries with dry boxed cake mix and once again dispersing equally
Once the cake mix is covering the berries pour the diet soda over the cake mix. Cover the entire cake the best you can but do not add extra soda if you can’t cover everything. *Please note that it’s OK if the soda does not cover the entire cake perfectly because it will make the cake nice and crumbly in certain spots, like a crumb cake. (This isn’t a bad thing)*
Once the cake is covered in soda cover the baking dish with tin foil and bake at 350 degree for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes remove the tin foil and bake another 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Mine took 1 hour) After 45 minutes if you cake isn’t done check it every 5 minutes until it’s as your desired consistency.

Applesauce-Cranberry Oatmeal (3 WW Points+)

July 4, 2014 Nicole

I woke up early one morning starving! I wanted breakfast but I really wanted breakfast from McDonalds. I looked to see how many Weight Watchers points were in a McDonalds Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit. WOW it was about 1/3 of my day in points. So I decided to look around online to see what I could find that would be points friendly and would also be good.

This recipe fit the bill, quick, easy and oh my goodness so delicious! I really loved it. It reminded me of the holidays as if I was eating apple pie. I never would have thought to put applesauce in my oatmeal but I would do it over and over again because it was just that good!! This recipe is fantastic and for only 3 Weight Watchers PointsPlus

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons oatmeal, uncooked or 1 packet
1 tablespoon dried cranberries
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
