Product Endorsement -- skinny pop popcorn 3 pts

White cheddar, people! 😀  3 pts... mmmmm



Skinny Margarita Recipe from Louise

Here's the Margarita Recipe that Louise shared with us... no points except for the Tequila.


Get Crystal Light lemonade and add a little lime juice and tequila. 

Dip rim of glass in lime juice then salt. 

Everything is zero points except the tequila. Yummy!!!

Recipe Recommendation - Slow Cooker Black Bean and Spinach Enchiladas -- 9 pts.

From Leesa:



I don’t know how to share this with others…but I tried this.  It was delicious.  I added lean ground beef, which made them 9 points and they were HUGE.


Product Endorsement -- Special K Parmesan Cheese Multigrain Crackers with Quinoa

For some reason, I have turned into a "salty" craver... I found the perfect cracker that not only tastes good (important to me) but gives me a bunch in a serving (important to me) for not so many points ((important to me).

I eat these on the side with my chicken salad.  They are good for general munching and would be good dipped in salsa... or hummus (if you like that sort of thing! :-)

I got these at Publix... they are 4 points per 14 cracker serving.  They will remind you of wheat thins (or they do to me).

Enjoy!
