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
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
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

Weight Watchers Pasta Casserole recipe - 4 points

weight watchers pasta casserole recipe 4 points

Here’s a pasta casserole recipe that’s not as cheesy as the usual ones, thus making it lighter and more diet-friendly. You can re-interpret this recipe based on the seasons: try replacing the butternut squash with roasted tomatoes and zucchini in the summer, or some asparagus and dill in the spring. Don’t forget to add the toasted almonds (or some other nuts) for some crunch!

Weight Watchers Pasta Casserole recipe

Ingredients
8 oz dried whole wheat penne (or other pasta)
1 1/2 cups butternut squash, peeled and sliced into small pieces
3 handfuls spinach, chard or kale, chopped
2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
2 large egg yolks
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
8 large Kalamata olives, pitted and torn into pieces
