Weight Watchers Moo Shu Chicken Wraps recipe - 7 points

Moo Shu is a Chinese dish that consists of stir-fried veggies and meat (chicken, pork, beef or even tofu) wrapped in thin Chinese-style crepes with some hoisin sauce. In this quick recipe we will be using flour tortillas instead of the Chinese crepes, and some leftover chicken (if you have no leftovers use a roasted chicken from the store).

Some other ingredients that you can put inside these wraps are mushrooms, bell peppers, green onions, snow peas, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and scrambled eggs.

Weight Watchers Macaroni and Cheese recipe - 8 points

Here’s a lower fat version of the family favorite baked macaroni and cheese recipe. I think it’s actually better than many of the full-fat versions, because the lower fat content of the cheese keeps it from separating and getting greasy. You can experiment with different types of cheese if you want, just be patient while making the roux, as it’s a little hard to make a good cream sauce when you have so little fat.

Weight Watchers Mac & Cheese recipe

Ingredients
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
