Did you try the Mile High Mexican Lasagna from last week’s menu? If not, here is the recipe. This freezes well and is very filling and delicious at only 2 Points per serving.
Also, if you did not see my post about turning plain fat free Greek yogurt into cheese, here it is. There are 3 completely 0 point recipes I made from the yogurt cheese and they are delicious. Seriously, give them a try. Also, I find that the yogurt cheese tastes extremely similar to cream cheese.
There are new recipes for the Week 36 -Weight Watchers Freestyle Diet Plan Menu – Week of 9/14/18. And, if you would like to see last week’s menu, here it is.

Dee Dee thanks so much for posting all of this for us! Your recipes are fantastic for those of us on the Weight Watchers program! My question is regarding your Slow Cooker Italian Meat Gravy recipe. Do you just use regular old ground turkey or do you grind up the breast yourself?
And also your recipe for candied grapes sound truly delicious! Have you ever frozen them before?
Thanks!

Patti, I buy the Ground Turkey Breast when I see a good sale on it. At times, I will use Ground Chicken Breast if that’s on sale as well. As far as the candied grapes go, I don’t think I could wait for them to be frozen – I love them that much! But I’m sure they would taste great frozen. And you are very welcome for the recipes too!
