Weight Watchers Jello Fruit Wedges recipe - 2 points

What a fun way to eat Jello! The kids won’t be the only ones who will love these Jello orange wedges, they’ll be a hit with the whole family!

I’ve tried using other rinds as well but their taste is more bitter, so I think it’s better to stick to the orange flavor. If you make these and take pictures of the final result, please send them this way so we can all see how yours turned out!

Weight Watchers Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir-Fry recipe - 4 points

This is a wonderful dish, so tasty and easy to make… I used to order a very similar dish from a local Chinese restaurant, but now that I know how to prepare it I’ll be making it at home all the time!

You can use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand, frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peppers, corn, etc) or mushrooms… they all work great with this recipe.

Weight Watchers Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir-Fry recipe

Ingredients
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 pieces
1 1/2 ounces thin sliced baby carrots
1/2 (3 ounce) bell peppers, chopped

3 ounces chopped celery
3 ounces snap peas, cut in half width-wise
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup canned pineapple in juice, undrained
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Weight Watchers Caramel Popcorn recipe - 5 points

I love caramel popcorn, so when I found this recipe I naturally had to try it. I must say I was NOT disappointed by the result… this is a wonderful recipe!! The only problem I had with it is that it was so delicious that I ate almost 3 servings all by myself!

You can store this in an airtight container for up to 1 week, but if you’re like me, it won’t last that long. :P

1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
cooking spray
1 tablespoon light molasses
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Weight Watchers Egg Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce recipe - 4 points

I always thought egg rolls are very hard to prepare… that’s until I found this recipe. You won’t believe how easy it is to make your own homemade egg rolls… and they taste so much better than the store bought ones!

These egg rolls can also be frozen (before or after frying) for a quick and delicious meal. For a vegetarian version, just leave the pork out.
