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.

Ingredients

	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.

Creamy spinach and salty bacon makes these potatoes a hit. Make a double batch for your next party.


Ingredients
3 medium potato(es), baked, sliced in half and cooled
1 spray(s) cooking spray
20 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 oz light cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 slice(s) cooked crisp turkey bacon, crumbled
Instructions

* Preheat oven to 400ºF. Scoop out flesh of potatoes, leaving about 1/4 of potato flesh in potato. (Reserve remaining potato flesh for another use such as mashed potatoes.)

* Place potato halves on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. While potato skins bake, combine spinach, cream cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well-blended.

* Remove skins from oven and spoon 3 tablespoons of spinach mixture into each potato half; bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes more.

* Remove skins from oven and top each half with about 1 tablespoon of crumbled bacon. Yields 1 potato half per serving.

Notes

* To easily dry spinach, place thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out liquid over the sink, as though you were wringing out a wet towel.

1 pt "Whenever" cake

I'm not sure the official name of this recipe but it seems like it's designed for "whenever" you're in the mood for a little cake. Hopefully I remember the recipe right. I'll be trying this soon.
1 box angel food cake mix +

1 box "any flavor" cake mix

Mix both together in a ziploc bag. "Whenever" you feel like some cake: scoop out 1/3cup mix, add 3 tbsp water into a microwavable dish and microwave for 1 minute. Apparently, that will give you 1 pt cake in 1 minute! Good luck! Can't wait to try this. (I'm a little nervous about the "just cake-no frosting" concept so I think I might go get some of that ff dreyer's slow churn brought up by a member last week. It's on sale this week at albertson's (2/$6) and my FAVORITE dreyer's 1 pt strawberry whole fruit bars are on sale too for $1.99. That's a stock up price!

Looking for recipes!

Everyone is always looking for new recipes. Maybe if we all dig out our old weight watchers recipe books, or any old favorites, and each upload 1 a week, we can all refresh our menus and be inspired to keep our momentum going. Anyone up for the challenge?

Happy Cake!

I guess that's an appropriate name for this recipe. It made me happy just thinking about eating it! :D It called for a 9 x 13 pan but I like layer cakes if I'm going to make a cake. There was PLENTY of topping for filling and top too. I thought it was good but would have been even better with a few berries, maybe topped with strawberries and a sprig of mint. Darn, and Marie brought some today.
Also, There is a VERY similar recipe on the side of the pudding box. Slight variations, using angel food cake instead but I want to try that too!!

This is 1/16 of the cake so 4 pts worth. Pretty generous serving size I think!?
