It looks like a good salad!
With 580 calories, 27g fat and 6g fiber, this salad is 13 ww pts!
This salad has more points than I like to spend on one. But if you're a light eater, 1/2 the salad would only be 6 ww points so you decide. :)

Back to Nature Cookies
This might possibly be the cookie you've been looking for.
I found these at Sam's club. They came in 3 sealed packages with 8 cookies to a package for around $7. (The package looked a different than the one pictured) The best part is that these are good size cookies for only 3 points. They met my need for sweet but also satisfied me at one cookie! I also felt good knowing they are better for me than my original recipe too.
(I tried the tlc version, and while I LOVE tlc crackers, I liked these cookies much better.)

Grillin' this 4th of July?
Whether it's 4th of July or any other day, don't these look mouth watering? Thanks for the recipe WW!
Ingredients
desserts
POINTS® Value: 1 Servings: 6 Preparation Time: 8 min Cooking Time: 1 min Level of Difficulty: Easy |
From refrigerator to plate in under 10 minutes. A fantastic summer dessert. |
| 1 spray(s) cooking spray |
| 1/4 cup(s) light cream cheese, at room temperature |
| 2 Tbsp reduced-fat sour cream |
| 1 Tbsp honey |
3 large peach(es), pitted and halved |
Instructions
- Preheat the grill. Off heat, coat the grill rack with cooking spray.
- Mash the cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl with a fork; stir in the honey until smooth.
- When the grill is hot, grill the peaches cut side down until marked, about 1 minute. Alternatively, spray a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat; add the peaches cut side down and grill until marked, about 1 minute.
- Place a peach half cut-side up on each of six plates; top each with 1 tablespoon sweetened cheese mixture. Yields 1 peach half per serving.
Notes
- Use peaches that smell sweet but are still a little firm so they hold up over the heat. Garnish with ground cinnamon or grated nutmeg.

FAMILY VACATION!!!
I did it....I made my pre-trip weightloss goal!!! I have worked SO hard this past month and it has totally paid off. While I'm thrilled to be rewarded with a well timed vacation, I am extremely nervous. I'll be packing my pedometer(and using it! :) and getting in as much fresh fruit, veggies and water Florida has to offer. Just another part of life on the list of what I want to learn to manage.
So, if posting is slow, you'll understand.

Brownie 'N Fruit Kabobs
300 cal, 12 g fat, 2 fiber= 6 WW Points per skewer
Need something to take to a get together or make just for fun? These are just what you should make. I made 46 of these babies for my son's 3rd grade luau. Needless to say, there were no leftovers. This is a totally flexible recipe but I'm telling you, this flavor combo is the bomb! If I'd had time, I would have drizzled the chocolate butter sauce on them too. Ooooh, the possibilities.
Note, the brownies were a little tricky to skewer, the bigger the better. And, it was somewhat time consuming. I did it in steps over a few days. Simply skewering took quite some time! Totally worth it. You'll be a hit. Maybe add some blueberries for the 4th?
