loved chocolate and chocolate recipes went down a treat
Thanks for the recipes, I love it.
great hub! thanks for good recipes,I do weight watchers to,I always like to get new recipes.
Great hub with fantastic pics which is well shared.
Anyone know how many banana date-nut cookies to make out of that batch so that they'll be one point?
Thank you so much for posting these :). My hubby actually goes back and forth using the Weight Watchers method between others that he wants to try, and he's got one heck of a sweet tooth, so this is an awesome reference. There's only so much sugar-free Jello he can withstand, lol...
for anyone who is looking at this after 12-1-2010, the points values are probably NOT the same as listed in these recipes. I suggest using the WW Recipe calculator to reconfigure using the NEW Points Plus program.
Thanks for this info! There's probably about 30 people at work on weight watchers since our company sponsors a program. I'll share these recipes with some of those. Cool stuff... I voted UP. useful
Love the recipe's hope to try them all
Great article.
I tried the 1 point brownies and loved them! I whisked my egg whites until they came so a very soft peak and also added 1 tsp of baking powder so that the brownies would rise a little bit.
So nice a fudgy! Just like a brownie should be :-D
i tried the date nut and oats cookies didn't think i'd like them, after my first try i ate about a dozen of them, sprinking some icing sugar sure made them into sweets fit for my sweet teeth neighbours
Fantastic hub, love the recipes and thay are only one point unbelievable Yess. I am very impressed with the 2 drawing as well, very nice.
Maddie, thank you so much for putting together these hubs. I am bookmarking them for the near future. My husband and I are about to join WW (I just had my third baby), but I love to bake. (heh! Maybe that's why I need to join WW.)
Anywho, I look forward to trying some of these you listed as well as the ones from the WW website. Thank you!!
Great hub, i just emailed this to my sister!
Thanks for the recipes. I can see how they are going to be lifesaver during our cold South African winter when I want to nibble all the time!
Wow - only 1 point!
Great site, I am sure I will try some of your recipes.
This surely a bookmark page for me. The recipes sound delicious and easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
Yummy recipes and great pictures, I enjoyed your hub supporting Weight Watchers---the correct and tasty way to shed those extra pounds.
The sugar cookies are GREAT! For valentine's day i dyed the frosting pink and sprinkled some sprinkles on them ! wonderrrrful
The Banana Date Nute cookies sound great. Thanks.
I cann't believe that Chocolate Brownies is possible without sugar. Chocolate Brownies is my favorite pastry. I"ll obviously try it out.
I have been a member of weight watchers for about seven months and lost about 41 pounds and working on many more pounds to lose. Weight Watchers is a lifesaver for me and would not have it any other way. Thanks Weight Watchers!
I did weight watchers in Oakland maybe 9 years ago and lost 20 pounds. I have lost weight here in France simply because there is not the culture of having something to eat all the time wherever you are. I would like to lose another 10 pounds, maybe I should try some of these sweets because in France there is a bakery on every corner and the sweets are not expensive. Either I forgoe them all and then have a fall and a binge or I try some of your recipes. We'll see.
Maddie, you rock!
Great hub. Thanks for the recipes!
