A few good WW recipes
These have all been on our table over the last week, and I wanted to share with the WW folks.

- 15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- salt and fresh pepper
- 32 oz tomato sauce
- 9 tbsp (about 3 oz) part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Skinny Slow-Cooker Pernil (Roast Pork)
Points plus: 4
Serving: 4 oz
#fullpost { display: none; }
- 3 lb pork shoulder blade roast, lean, all fat removed
- 4-5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tbsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp crushed black pepper
- 3 oranges, juice of (1/2 cup)
- 2 limes, juice of
Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the pork and stuff holes with half of the crushed garlic. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over pork. Place in the ceramic part of the crock pot, cover and refrigerate, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of pork.
The next day, remove the crock pot and cook on low, 8 hours.
After 8 hours, remove pork andshred using two forks. Removeliquid from crock pot and add pork back to crock. Add about 1 cup of the liquid back and adjust salt, pepper and cumin (you will probably need to add more). Let it cook another 15-30 minutes.

I used some of the pork from above in these, and they were super yummy

Baked Chicken with Dijon and Lime
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 4 ? Serving Size: 2 thighs ? Old Points: 5 pts ? Points+: 5 pts
Calories: 214.4 ? Fat: 11.2 g ? Protein: 23.8 g ? Carb: 1.5 g ? Fiber: 0.2 g
Preheat oven to 400?. Rinse the chicken and remove the skin and all fat. Pat dry; place in a large bowl and season generously with salt. In a small bowl combine Dijon, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, garlic and pepper. Mix well. Pour over chicken, tossing well to coat.
Spray a large baking pan with a little Pam to prevent sticking since all the fat and skin was removed from chicken. Place chicken to fit in a single layer. Top the chicken with dried parsley. Bake until cooked through, about 30-35 minutes. Finish the chicken under the broiler until it is golden brown. Serve chicken with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
These all sound great! I'm going to try those lasagna rollups.
You know what's really bad for WW? Being snowed in. I haven't been able to leave my house since sunday, I'm bored-eating, and we're almost out of fruit.

We're not remotely snowed in, but it's really cold outside for my neck of the woods, and I'm a weanie that doesn't want to go grocery shopping in the cold. You may all mock me at your leisure. I don't do cold.
No mocking here. I seriously considered using some leave time today because I didn't want to trek out in the 10 degree temps. Before anyone judges me, students aren't back yet and I have very little to do anyway.
um...I live in a city that's been completely paralyzed for two days by less than 5 inches of snow. I don't think I'm in a good spot to mock anyone.
