EASY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE-EASILY ADAPTABLE TO WEIGHT WATCHERS CORE



Easy Broccoli Casserole-Easily Adaptable to Weight Watchers Core image

This recipe is not meant as a main meal on its own, despite being named a casserole, but is a lovely side dish to accompany roast meat or something similar. It is very easy to adapt to the Weight Watchers Core plan- simply leave out the cheese, crackers and butter, and use low fat mayonnaise! It is originally from Paula Deen.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SAGE AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE



Butternut Squash, Sage and Mushroom Casserole image

This is a Weight Watchers CORE recipe, adapted from the Weight Watchers website AND is vegetarian! (Can probably be made vegan if you sub the condensed skim milk with soy). There are quite a few steps to this, BUT in the end I think it tastes great. The earthy mushrooms and sage are a perfect match to the sweet and buttery squash. Sage is strong so I have 1-2 tbsp listed in the ingredients. Please use your own taste, as the original recipe called for only 1 tbsp. We like sage allot, so I would in fact increase the fresh sage to 2 tbsp when I make this again.

SMOKED SALMON OR TROUT PATE (WEIGHT WATCHERS/CORE)



Smoked Salmon or Trout Pate (Weight Watchers/Core) image

This is core or 2.5 points per serving. I have made with smoked salmon and smoked trout and both taste good. This is a really great recipe to use either as a starter to take have for lunch on some rye crispbreads, etc. Please note that this really needs to chill for 12 hours to be at it's best, but I have eaten it straight away in the past and it's still good.
