I have a host who is doing a show at the end of Feb. She is wanting to do a light and healthy recipe. I told her about the soups (smashed potato and turkey chili) but I think she is looking for something else. :confused:
Does anyone have any recipes they can share. I don't have any cookware other than the pan that came in my kit, and the only stones I have are the DCB, lg bar pan (2), loaf pan (not mini), and lg round stone w/handles.
 
I'm doing a show this week for a bunch of girls who are on WW. I'm making a salad pizza. Its in a college, so I dont have an oven, so I'm making the crust ahead of time, then I'm going to demo the rest. You can put whatever you want on it....HTH:chef:

So what are you putting on the one you are making?? I have never heard of a salad pizza before!
 
Its big here in NYC...

Well I'm going a little towards chicken Ceasar Pizza, but I'm not putting the dressing on it, since thats not really healthy. Well I'm bringing the dough already made & room temp. With the salad choppers a bunch of lettuce,cucumbers,tomatoes, some sliced black olives, anything you feel like putting on it of course diced chicken. I'm leaving the dressing on the side. I'll have just plain oil & vinegar & another knid either fat free or lite....HTH:chef:
 
This is my favorite light and healthy recipe - I use it as part of my "8 Point Party" It's 4 points a serving!

On your 8 point salad, how much is a serving? And does that 4 points per serving include the chicken or not? Is your sour cream fat free or your cheese? Are the chips included in the 4 points? Sorry to be nosey, but I am a WW leader and wondered if this could really be 4 points per serving and if so what did it include? Thank you!
 
I love this one. I was told it has 5 points and it serves a ton of people! Plus, it shows soooo many tools. I always expand on more tools then what the recipe reads. Anyone else love this salad?:love:
