Weight Watcher Recipes

Well, as you can see I have trouble keeping up this blog. I have decided to take a new approach for me and blog about Weight Watchers recipes. I decided to start the new year with an attempt to eat healthier and I love the fact I don’t have to count calories, just points. I signed up online and have a set of wonderful tools to use to convert recipes I have so that I know how many points are in each one.

Tonight for dinner I made chili only instead of ground beef used ground turkey breast. This chili recipe now is 4 points per serving and my husband loved it. In fact he can’t wait to have it again tomorrow. For dessert I saw a recipe for some Raisin Turnovers and I just wasn’t going there but liked the basic part of the recipe so I changed the raisins to apricots and cooked the filling just a little. We loved it! I want to try dried apples next. I may be on to something here.

Apricot Won Tons

12 half dried apricot halves
2 item(s) Nasoya Won Ton Wrappers

Place a scant teaspoon of filling on each wrapper. Wet the edges of 2 sides. Fold over and seal filling in wrapper.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place half of the wontons in boiling water for about a minute. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining turnovers.

Place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with Pam. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 – 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

There is just a sprinkling of confectioners sugar on these turnovers.
