Mac & No Cheese: 4 Weight Watchers Smart Points / 4 Points Plus (approximately 6 servings)

Hard Boiled Perfection…it was a long time coming 

I could almost cry.  I have waited years for this moment.  Ruined dozens of eggs.  Tried dozens of methods.  Old eggs. New eggs. Brown ones. White ones.  Every boiling time, every cooling method,  nothing else in water, weird additions to water.  I even baked them. You name it, I’ve tried […]

02/04/18 update:  only 1 WW Freestyle Smart Point per serving! Hubby’s exact words “those eggs.  Are there more?  If not can you make more?”   He doesn’t ask for seconds often.  And when he asks me to make  more of something after I’ve already cleaned up I know it’s a […]

Crack Fluff:  6 Weight Watchers Smart Points / 5 Points Plus

Oh sure….it’s all fun and games until someone invents Crack Fluff. This was seriously a wild haired experiment gone bad.  Oh it’s good…but it’s so bad.  I was continuing the S’More theme from late in the week and got to the bottom of my Marshmallow Creme.  The bottom.  Of the […]

Banana S’more Rollup:  5 Smart Points / 3 Points Plus
