Weight Watchers Wednesday

I'm keeping this post short since I'm traveling today. The Momentum book this week focused on keeping your food journal and tracking your points. If you're just starting Weight Watchers, you'll find that it's very easy to overindulge if you don't track points-- completely on accident. It's amazing how quickly the points will add up when you're not paying attention.

I am exactly .2 pounds from my final, ultimate weight goal that I assigned myself at my WW weekly meetings. Once you reach your final goal, you must be a paying WW member for the next six weeks and stay within two pounds of that goal... your reward-- lifetime status and free membership! Unfortunately, I have to miss next week due to travel, but I've got my fingers crossed that I'll start my six week countdown the following week.

With the Super Bowl coming up, I thought this recipe was fitting. As promised-- your weekly recipe.
Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dip
POINTS® Value: 4
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 12 min
Cooking Time: 20 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Don't succumb to traditional, artery-clogging wings. Simply bake them in a tangy rub and then dip them in lightened-up dressing.

Ingredients



1 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray, or enough to coat sheet

12 oz uncooked skinless chicken wing(s)

1 1/4 oz Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, or similar product

1/2 cup(s) fat-free sour cream

2 tbsp blue cheese, or gorgonzola, crumbled

2 tbsp fat-free skim milk

4 medium stalk(s) celery, cut into 2-inch pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  • Place chicken wings in a zip-close plastic bag, add taco seasoning, seal bag and shake to coat. Transfer wings to prepared baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, to prepare dip, whisk together sour cream, cheese and milk.

  • Serve wings with dip and celery on the side. Yields about 3 wings, 3 tablespoons of dip and 1 celery stalk per serving.
