Ww Recipes

Meat, cheese, potatoes-we layered these favorite ingredients into a flavorful casserole. Sort of like a deconstructed cheeseburger and fries.

My wonderful friend, Alka, is a wonderful cook.
She creates her own recipes. This is one of them. It is Awesome!!
***Have to find a nutrition calculator that works. This one is apparently wrong. Will update WW pts when find correct data. Thx to those who pointed it out. ^_^

A fantastic soup to accompany a sandwich, main meal or as a snack. A filling soup that will warm anyone on a cold winter's day.

Wondeful party dish, add 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce for Cranberry~Apple Chicken, also good as chicken salad

Rich North Indian Chicken dish AKA: Butter Chicken. an all time favorite!

Replacing white rice with brown rice is a healthier option. Regular short grain brown rice flavor and consistancy changes the taste of a dish it is added to. My husband and I have found that brown basmati rice is soft and does not interrupt the flavor of our foods. We use Kohinoor brand; found in Indian store.
1/2 cup is worth 4 Weight Watcher Points (1/2 cup)

East Indian Dal; one of the many ways to prepare this dal.

North Indian Flat bread; also called Chapatti.
Made from very fine whole wheat flour found in Indian stores. Used for gravy foods. Some recipes call for milk or yogurt (said to make the bread softer) and oil but these are not necessary and only add calories and fat to the nutritional value. If follow this recipe the Weight Watcher points are = 0 each

This is a recipe given to me. It is a family recipe from North Indian origin.
Worth 4 weight watcher points (2 chicken legs per serving)

Fish in Kadhi (sounds like kerr-high) sauce.

The trick to getting this sweet right is in browning the besan (gram flour) perfectly and using powdered sugar for the smooth consistency.

North Indian vegetable curry. Using the cashews is a must for this recipe. (I know because when I made it for a friend allergic to nuts and omitted the cashews, the dish was actually almost not edible! ^_-)
Worth 6 weight watcher points per 1/2 cup

This is a North Indian preperation of Bhindi is also known as Okra.
Worth 4 Weight Watcher points aprox. 1/2 cup serving.
Note: in any of these recipes, making your own ginger and garlic paste from scratch is always best!

I love Reese's peanut butter cups, but clearly it's not diet food! These are an excellent substitution. If you are doing weight watchers these are 2 points each.

This is a light and healthy soup that is perfect on cold days! What I really like about this recipe is the ability to add just about anything to it! I actually add kidney beans to mine sometimes to make it heartier.

whole wheat flour and frozen cranberries make this a healthy breakfast or snack

The tangy citrus juices in this dish bring out the flavor of the pork without overwhelming it.

My tweaks to the original recipe:

* Make it more intense: Reduce the sauce a lot; the original WW recipe calls for what amounts to a flavored au jus which just doesn't cut it
* Make it 4HB friendly: Cut the grapefruit juice to cut the sugars in half and make it a bit more tangy; if you keep the grapefruit juice, use grapefruit juice cocktail, not straight juice, or the end result will be slightly bitter

This is a Weight Watchers Recipe my sister gave me.. You can use white or milk chocolate melts to create different coloured eggshells.
