Blizzard

.5 oz Fat free, sugar free Jello pudding mix
1 cup skim milk
1 cup ice

In a blender completely blend the pudding mix and milk. Add this ice and blend until crushed thoroughly. Enjoy.

3 points


Use any flavor of pudding you prefer. I used butterscotch because that is all I had and hubby likes it. I am not a fan of it, but it was really good once blended.

If you add anything else, such as fruit or candies, just add the extra points.

Ingredients:
1 can Chili w/beans
1 can chopped tomatoes (do not drain)
8 oz Light Velveeta cubed (half of the small box)
1 cup water
2 cups rice

Combine the chili, tomatoes and water in a skillet, bring to a boil. Add the velveeta and rice, stir to coat rice and cover. Remove from heat, let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove lid, stir until cheese is melty and everything is combined.
1 1/2 cups = 6 points. This is VERY filling and tastes like chili cheese tots from Sonic. Yummy!!

The best WW recipe I ever got!!!!

1 small package strawberry jello (no sugar)
1 small package cook & serve vanilla jello pudding mix (fat free)
2 cups water
4 cups strawberries

Cut up strawberries and place in 9" pie plate. (There is no crust). In medium bowl, microwave water and pudding mix for 2 minutes on high. Stir and heat 2 more minutes. Stir in jello mix and let cool 5 minutes. Pour mix onto strawberries, cover and refirdgerate for 4 hours.

Serves 6, 1 point each. Great with fat-free cool whip!

Hi guys!

For awesome vegeterian recipes go to www.vegsource.com I tried the carribean curry today (w/out rice) and it was really good and only 3 pts per serving! Filling to!

And if you add a little shot of vodka to the Blizzard, it's even more divine! (And 2 points well spent )

This recipe make 2 (two) 8 point pizza crusts.

2/3 Cup Water

Add ingredients to your bread machine and mix on dough setting. When it is done, divide into 2 sections and roll out the crusts. Brush crusts lightly with olive oil, cover and let rise for about 30 minutes. Top with toppings of your choise and place in a COLD oven. Set oven to 450 degrees F and bake until crust is browned and cheese is melted.

I LOVE veggie tacos!!!!!!

If you subtract ground beef for the LightLife brand soy crumbles (0 fat, 0pts for 1/3 cup), you can make AWESOME tacos and you wouldn't even know you weren't eating meat....tastes like Taco Bell!

Pair it off with La Tiara corn shells, 0pts for one,
then it's even better!

I posted this but longer on the WW Food/PT issues forum....

I found this thread just for you Tonya... and I found another recipe (on the WW site) that I haven't made yet, but it sounds yummy!
