Food Finds for a BBQ

Some BBQ Food Finds to help you over the next couple of days, i.e. our summer. 

Cakes, biscuits and crackers

It's Fat Thursday

Today in Poland, It's Fat Thursday, whereby today, traditionally, they eat donuts.  Now who am I to argue with tradition?

Veronica's Crisps and Dinner

I was given a really gorgeous treat this week.  I was in contact with Veronica's Snacks.

Marks and Spencer Food Finds

You can Count On Us

This is possibly not news for everyone, but Marks and Sparks have a range called Count On Us and now each of these products have Weightwatchers Propoints calculated on the back.

Weightwatchers Lidl Food Finds

Weightwatchers Friendly Foods in Lidl 

Weightwatchers Frozen Food Finds

The Convenience Foods

We have all had those days.  You wake up and before you have time to inhale your first sip of coffee its time for dinner because life got so busy.  These days are when i usually find myself running (Activity Points there) into my local supermarket looking for something quick and easy, as in you pop it into the microwave or oven quick. 

Weightwatchers Pepperoni Pizza

Do you miss real Pepperoni in your Pizza?  Not any more

Its a meat feast.  I love pepperoni as a topping.  It just makes a pizza meaty and manly.  I have to say the one thing that i would crave after a beverage or 2 would be a slice of pepperoni pizza.  That has been my biggest longing for the last 5 years.  Now don't get me wrong.  I have had pepperoni but it has been a rare treat and i have usually used up a lot of my weeklies, as in this weeks and next weeks  (oops)

Weightwatchers Sunday Pastries Food Finds

The humble croissant can be so delicious.

Sunday Brunch to some people means a mug of fresh brewed coffee, a croissant and a newspaper.  What a delicious smell that can conjour. 

Weightwatchers biscuits, marshmallow and chocolate S'mores

That's S'more

This is a mix between food finds and a dessert all in one.  S'mores are a very American treat but I did have one when I was in the States and I have to say they were really nice and I've been thinking about doing it but then the problem is melting Marshmallows and I got lazy. 

This is so easy and so tasty all it has is 4 ingredients.  It takes 20 seconds and the kids will love it because I know that mine do.  For the past couple of weeks I've been noticing the jars of American Fluff, the melted spreadable Marshmallow.  Each time I walked past, I kept thinking I must propoint this and then the other day I did.  For 2 Tablespoons its only 1 Weight Watchers Propoints.  Such good value. 

The biscuits that I used were Marietta biscuits and its 2 biscuits for 1 propoint.  Another brilliant find. 

Weight Watchers Propoints per Serving 2
Weight Watchers Propoints per Recipe 4
Serves 2

Ingredients

4 Marietta biscuits
2 tsp of Fluff
1 tub of choccy Philly 
1/8 of tsp of hundreds and thousands

Directions 

Take 2 Marietta Biscuits and put 1 tsp of fluff onto each biscuit.  With the other 2 biscuits spread half the tub of choccy philly unto each biscuit.  You may actually get more.  
Sandwich 1 biscuit with fluff and the other biscuit of chocolate together and sprinkle half the amount of hundreds and thousands.

Warning this will get messy but its really worth it. 

Enjoy the Niptuck way, so you don't have too!

Dessert Food Finds

 Just a little helping hand for summer desserts

Donuts

Well i love jam donuts and these are Irish made aswel and come in at a beautiful Weightwatchers Propoints Value of 4 which is 2 pp less than your average donuts.  So, if your looking for jam donuts or need to bring something sweet to a get together and don't want anyone to know your doing Weightwatchers these are perfect.  

I bought these in Supervalue up in Aylesbury in Tallaght but here is the link for them http://www.oldtownhill.ie/ this also has a store finder so that you can find a stockist near you. 

Choccy Philly

These are the little tubs that i have been mentioning on the blog.  Each of these little tubs have a Weightwatchers Propoint Value of 2.  These are really versatile and if, like me, you have a slight addiction to chocolate spread, these really keep the cravings away.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream

This pic is terrible, but i knew that if i opened the wrapping, i would not be able to resist the temptation to eat some and well ive maxed myself out.  So to refrain, i took a terrible pic.  This aside, this is new ice cream from Weightwatchers and each scoop has a Weightwatchers Propoints Value of 1.  Brilliant.  Even better, this tub actually supplies the measuring scoop with it.  


I bought this in Dunnes Stores in the Ashleaf.  Im not sure where else sells it but if one Dunnes Stores has it im sure others do aswel. 

Also in this new range of Iced treats from Weightwatchers is WW Magnums for 3 PP which were also available in Dunnes in the Ashleaf. 

Dessert Helpers

These are great for using as dessert cases and the Belgian chocolate are absolutely gorgeous.  If your have people over, you can use these and add whatever you want to it.  Each case works out with a Weightwatchers Propoints Value of 2 which is brilliant. 

I hope these help you over the summer to cool down and stay on track. 

Enjoy the Niptuck way, so you don't have too!

Weightwatchers Food Finds

The search for Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt is over!

I have had one of the busiest weeks in long time and im not actually too sure why, maybe a mini break is just a mini break but means maximum catching up to do when you return?  There has not been a lot of cooking going on in my kitchen recently but there has been shopping and i have discovered a few favorites that i will definitely be buying again.


The first needs a Drum Roll.....................

Yes i found it! it has been a long struggle but eventually even after email a company (i know very nerdy) i have eventually found Greek Style Yogurt that is fat free and is part of the Weightwatchers Healthy and Filling Plan.




And it gets better, yes it is in 2 different flavors and both one's which i love.  There is Honeyed Peach which is thick and creamy and actually has some peachy bits in it.  The other flavor is my favorite, coconut with a hint of vanilla "that's its actual name".


I bought them in Tesco in the Square in Tallaght and yes they can be used for baking and cooking but one would have to ensure that the flavor matches the dish your making, i don't fancy a honeyed peach flavor fresh cod? 


If your not on the Healthy and Filling each pot works out at 2 Weightwatchers Propoints which considering how creamy they are is a bargain in my book.


Now i have not seen these anywhere else as of yet however a member of staff told me that if i ask at my own local Tesco that they can order because its already on the system, so if your as excited about this as i am, go to your local Tesco and ask.

A sprinkling of something special for the Sunday roast

I love a good Sunday Roast Dinner and i especially love roast potatoes but i have found that with the lack of oil that one can use on the Weightwatchers Propoints Program sometimes it lack a bit of that something special.  There i was browsing around Marks and Spencers the other day and i was actually looking for something completely different and i happened to stumble upon this little gem. 

Just sprinkle it on the your already boiled potatoes, mist with a little and pop in the oven uncovered and it was delicious.  Well worth the buy and after much search i think that a Teaspoon or 2 works out at 0 Weightwatchers Propoints which always puts a smile on my face.  As far as i can remember it was 1.67 Euro but definitely well worth it. 

New Weightwatchers Packaging and products 

I was passing through Swords in Co, Dublin and i stopped off at a shop call JC's.  They have a great selection of Weightwatchers products there and all in the new packaging and there were some surprise treats.

These tasty little treats are 2 Weightwatchers Propoints and there yummy, they also have Weightwatchers Angel Cake Slices and these were my favorite.  Pink and white sponge cake separated by a layer of jam (drool) and topped with icing and sprinkles and these are 2 Weightwatchers Propoints aswel and i will be buying these again.  Also the products are amazingly cheap so if your in the area pop and have a browse and if your looking for a treat with that cup of tea these are worth getting in. 

Reduced Fat Peanut Butter

This was surprisingly good.  I know what your thinking, no the Weightwatchers Propoints in this is huge.  Actually for a Tablespoon of this is 2 Propoints which is not bad at and it goes so well on toast as a snack and i love it like the Americans with Jam.  This is also great for baking aswel. 


Well i really have been a busy little bee this week searching the aisles for those food finds.  

Enjoy the Niptuck way, so you don't have too!
