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

Weight Watchers Cajun Kebabs recipe - 5 points

Weight Watchers Cajun Kebabs recipe - 5 points

Here’s a flavorful recipe inspired by cajun cooking. These kebabs are perfect when you want to prepare something tasty, but don’t have a lot of time. You can try experimenting with the spice combination, but in my opinion it balances well the heat with the oregano and thyme.

When you thread the chicken and squash, make sure that you leave some space around the meat so that it cooks evenly. Of course, you can try adding different vegetables to these kebabs (like peppers, tomatoes or onions), according to your taste.

Weight Watchers Cajun Kebabs recipe

Ingredients
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium yellow squash
1 medium zucchini
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
non-stick cooking spray
4 kebab skewers
