I love that all fruit is zero points...but sometimes eating the same fruit day in and day out gets really boring. With this guilt-free recipe, you can spice up your fruit with delicious zero point plus fruit dip.
Simply mix any flavor sugar free Crystal Light packet (as much as desired) into a Cool Whip Free container, and there you have it! It's absolutely delicious! I even like to mix lemonade Crystal Light packets into it and eat it as a dessert. It tastes just like lemon meringue pie!
Enjoy!

Okay I've been slacking...but it's finals week!...so here are a few recipes I've come up with
Pasta with Pink Sauce (seven points plus!)
What is this "pink sauce" I speak about? It's a mixture of alfredo and marinara sauce that makes for the perfect combination of creamy and tangy on any kind of pasta...I created this recipe after I had a craving for some Italian food but couldn't afford the points...
Ingredients
-2 Weight Watcher Swiss cheese wedges (with the Laughing Cow products in a store)...2 PP
-3/4 cup fat free half & half (you can use more or less depending on your prefered thickness)...0 PP
-4 oz. canned tomato sauce...0 PP
-Dash of garlic salt...0 PP
-Pinch of chopped onions...0 PP
-Parsley...0 PP
-2 oz. whole wheat pasta...5 PP
Simple heat the half & half over medium heat and add the cheese in small chunks. Allow the cheese to disintegrate into the half and half while stirring. Stir in tomato sauce a little at a time. Add salt, onion, and parsley as the sauce continues to heat, stirring the whole time. Pour over a bowl or plate of pasta and enjoy at seven point (and very filling) meal!
Buffalo Chicken Dip (3 w/o cheese 3.25 w/ cheese per serving)
Okay okay, I'm obsessed with buffalo chicken everything...but this dish was too wonderful not to share! There are four servings in this recipe and each serving is 3.25 points plus!
Ingredients
-1 block fat free cream cheese (softened)...8 PP
-5 oz. can chicken breast...2 PP
-1/4 cup fat free ranch...2 PP
-3 tbsp hot sauce (more or less for desired hotness!)...0 PP
-1/4 cup fat free cheddar cheese (optional)...1 PP
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cream cheese with wooden spoon until creamy. Add chicken and ranch and stir until smooth. Add hot sauce last, more or less depending on how spicy you want to make the dip. Transfer dip into square casserole dish and disperse evenly. Sprinkle cheese on top of dip and put in oven for approximately ten minutes or until cheese is melted and dip is warm throughout. Enjoy! Try using a square casserole dish so that you can easily determine 1/4 of the dip for a serving of 3.25 points plus!
