WW recipe reviews
I've been testing out lots of recipes from the Weight Watchers kitchen companion app, so I thought I'd let you guys know how they turned out.
Easy Fried Rice - 4 points per serving (without shrimp). This was really easy to make, and turned out pretty good. I added shrimp to it, and we had it as a main meal. I did add some sriracha to mine to spice it up a bit, but my H likes his plain. I'm already planning on making this one again.
Breaded Pork Cutlet - 7 points each. I made this with some sauteed turnip greens last week. I had to use more panko crumbs than the recipe called for, but I didn't need all of the flour. I used my amounts to recalculate points, and it came out to be the same in the end. These were pretty good. They definitely needed the fresh lemon on top though. And the recipe means it when it says "best served immediately". I made enough to have leftovers, and that was a mistake. Mushy nastiness.
Slow Cooker Chicken Burritos - 5 points each. I wasn't a huge fan of these. They smelled great while they were cooking, but they just didn't have a whole lot of flavor. If I made it again I would probably add some cayenne pepper to the recipe, but I probably won't make it again. I served these with salad and refried black beans, and I topped them with some low fat cheese and greek yogurt. Greek yogurt makes a great substitute for sour cream.
I'm trying a couple more recipes this week, so I'll try and post how they turn out.
Re: WW recipe reviews
Thanks for sharing. I've added them to the blog and added a "wouldn't make again" tag for the burritos.
Maybe burritos and enchiladas don't work for WW. I made these last week, and they were a big, mushy disaster and I threw them away.
