These cookies are a tasty treat, we loved them so much I turned out two batches of these in one week. The WW recipe is 3 points per cookie for those who track their meals, and 107 calories with just 7g total carbs. The recipe calls for 1-cup of powdered peanut butter, but I used extra crunchy peanut butter and they came out perfectly.

We had some extra oats on hand in our pantry and decided to find some recipes to use them up, and this one was a great way to use up the quick cooking oats.

The recipe can be found on the WW website for Oatmeal–Peanut Butter Cookies.

I also found by adding a cup of raisons to the recipe it gave the cookies a nice chewy quality.

We made a batch of these as a side dish for the Chili-Rubbed Pork Chops, and these baked beans are amazing, sweet and thickly cooked down in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. The beans are 3 WW points per serving for those tracking their daily meals. For the recipe on WW website to go Maple baked beans.

Quick and easy to put together, you just coat a small baking dish with non-stick spray and add all your ingredients, stir, cover with foil and put into your 425° F pre-heated oven for 90-minutes.

With 5 WW points per serving and only 227 calories with just 3g total carbs, this hearty pork recipe is sure to please anyone who likes a smoky, seared pork chop.

This recipe can be found on page 105 of the Best of WW Recipes Cookbook, or you can get it online at the WW website for Chili-rubbed pork chops.

I used my Finger Lickin’ Rub spice blend in place of the ingredients called for in the recipe because many of the same ingredients make up both. I served these with a side of WW Baked Beans and some Thai Slaw. Check back tomorrow for the baked beans recipe.

I used thick-cut bone-in pork chops, and they were just as good it not better than the boneless center-cut chops the recipe calls for, not much difference in protein or fat content, but more flavorful with the bone-in juices adding to the pork meat.

This easy recipe is on page 282 in the Best of WW Cookbook, and can also be found online on the WW website for Salmon with Thai slaw recipe. The recipe is only 1 point for those who track their daily meals, and is only 411 calories with 12g total carbs.

The Thai slaw can be made ahead, in fact, it’s much better if made the day before you serve it as a bed for the salmon. We used Napa cabbage as a substitute for the Savoy cabbage, and it worked out just fine.

Once you’re ready to serve the meal, just lightly salt the salmon and sear the skin side down first in a medium-hot skillet until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. Then flip the salmon over and finish cooking for just 2 minutes or so for a medium cook. If you like your salmon well done, then keep it in the pan for another 3-4 minutes.

This WW recipe is found on page 68 of the cookbook Weight Watchers Annual Recipes for Success-2004, and the recipe can also be found on the WW website for Easy rosemary shrimp. The recipe comes in at 3 points for those tracking their daily meals, and has 222 calories with 3 total carbs.

The original recipe title has “Easy” in it because the cooking step has you microwaving the shrimp on high for 6-minutes. I opted to bake my shrimp in the oven at 375°F for 25 minutes with magnificent results. The recipe reminds us of typical barbecued shrimp recipes in the New Orleans style of cooking, but without all the butter.

I also added much more fresh herbs than the recipe called for in the chopped rosemary, oregano and basil. And of course, I used 8 cloves of minced garlic, the original recipes calls for 2 cloves garlic.

We served our baked Rosemary Shrimp on the side of a garden salad we made with our home grown kale, spinach, arugula, and yellow squash.
