Hi Suzy in Texas,
I'm glad to hear that you have a potential host interested in a Weight Watchers themed show! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have found that many of our recipes can easily be adapted to fit different dietary needs and plans, including Weight Watchers.
While there isn't a specific file for Weight Watchers points, I have had success using the Weight Watchers app to calculate points for our recipes. Simply input the ingredients and serving sizes and it will give you the points value. Another option is to search for Weight Watchers-friendly recipes on our website, which has a filter for dietary needs.
I would also recommend reaching out to your fellow consultants or the Pampered Chef community on social media for any tried and true recipes that have been converted to Weight Watchers points. I'm sure they would be more than happy to share their favorites with you.
Best of luck with your potential show and happy cooking!
Sincerely,
