Scrumptious Food, Lightened Up
I love beans. Any kind of beans – refried beans, chili beans, pinto beans, black beans, white beans, navy beans, kidney beans. I love ‘em all! So when Weight Watchers made beans 0 points on the Freestyle program, my beating, bean-loving heart was content. I better admit that I am too lazy to soak beans …
There's so much to love about summer - swimming pools, lightning bugs, vacations, BBQs - that it's hard to pick one thing. But this low-carb bruschetta recipe combines two of my summer favorites: grilling and freshly grown produce. Fresh produce from the garden or the local farmers' market makes for some good summertime eating. I …
This week, I decided to share ways you can use leftovers from some of my other recipes.

I couldn't wait to revamp my old "Not Your Average Jalapeno Poppers," not only because I've been excited to share this fun take on jalapeno poppers with my WW readers, but I also knew it would be a pretty easy recipe to alter. In my original recipe, I stuffed the jalapeno poppers will chorizo, cotija, …
